Hi Chetan, This is really great news! I think that this initiative will boost the participation of more application oriented community members. The natural language domain has a big advantage, namely that it is fairly easy to create test, training and experimentation collections of (text) data. Furthermore it is easier to interpret a result of an experiment as natural language can be intuitively understood. But also the “algorithmic” part of the community will profit from this new infrastructure, as it will become much easier to create a controlled experimental setup that allows to evaluate improvements of the algorithms (on both sides Numenta as well as CEPT). A third big advantage for the whole “CLA-movement” will be the increased visibility for the grand public, based on application demos built with the Numenta-CEPT hybrid.
One of the first questions that pop up in my mind is: How much, in terms of quantity, will this patch of 16K columns be able to learn and remind? We also plan to instantiate a dedicated CEPT resource for the purpose. I will update you in the coming days on the progress. Again, thumbs-up for Chetan Cheers Francisco On 28.02.2014, at 06:08, Chetan Surpur <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I'm happy to introduce a project I've been working on this week.
