Neal, I'm just starting to get the Network (and Region, Link, etc) API documented, so there is a minimal doc: http://numenta.org/docs/classnta_1_1_network.html. Not sure how helpful this is to you at this point. I can't answer your other questions, but it does point out holes in our docs. I've created a ticket to address this at least from an API docs standpoint: https://github.com/numenta/nupic/issues/525.
I'm not sure how much time Subutai or Scott have to further explain the Network API, but I'd have to defer your other questions to them. Have you seen this video of us discussing the API a couple months ago? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVgIcwEwKHg --------- Matt Taylor OS Community Flag-Bearer Numenta On Sun, Dec 29, 2013 at 9:05 PM, Neal Donnelly <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey everyone, > > I'm writing again to the listserv for pointers on my ongoing senior thesis > using NuPIC.
