A big thanks to Chetan (and Francesco, Matt, and Subutai)!

A game built upon Fluent/CEPT could be a great way of generating interest for 
NuPIC and CEPT.   I imagine something like "Taboo".  You are given a word and 
your task is to get the system to predict that word and you are not allowed to 
use certain other words.  Admittedly I  have not thought this through at all 
but the part I like is you are trying to get the system to give the right 
answer.  A small CLA will not be very smart but if you are trying to get it to 
do the right thing it will be fun and not frustrating.   It might require some 
pre-trained CLAs, I don't know.

Of course there are probably many other better game ideas.  I just wanted to 
point out that a clever game could be very impressive and generate a lot of 
buzz and PR.

As per request (@Francisco and others), you can now paste text into the input 
text field, and watch all the text get added to the model.

This closes https://github.com/numenta/nupic.fluent.server/issues/3.

Thanks everyone! I'm excited to see what the community can build off of this :)

I'm quite happy with the demo app Chetan has put together. I want to emphasize 
that there's a great opportunity for the community to expand upon it and create 
further demos within the nupic.fluent.server that uses the API Chetan's 
provided (both the REST API on the server and the underlying nupic.fluent API 
for python projects) to create more interesting things. We have more ideas of 
things to create, and over time we'll be providing more pages of demos using 
CEPT and NuPIC. Jeff thinks there is some potential here to create interesting 
word games.

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

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to introduce a project I've been working on this week. It's a 
platform for language prediction, using NuPIC together with CEPT [1]. The goal 
is to make it easy for anyone to build a language-based demo of NuPIC without 
having to know any of the internals of the CLA or CEPT.

In fact, I have not one, but two little projects to open up to you.

The first is nupic.fluent [2], a python library. It builds off of Subutai's and 
Matt's hackathon demos [3]. With it, you can create a model, feed it a word 
(also called a "term"), and get a prediction for the next one. It's very simple 
- and that's the point.

The second is nupic.fluent.server [4], a server-based API and sample web app 
using nupic.fluent at its core. You can use it to build a web-based demo of 
language prediction with NuPIC, something we invited the community to 
participate in during the last office hour [5].

But wait, there's more! I've hosted the Fluent server on an EC2 instance, so 
you all can play with the Fluent web app right now. Enjoy:

http://bit.ly/nupic-fluent

Note that it's far from production-ready, and it may go down at any time. That 
link is just a little taste for now; I aim to host it in a more permanent place 
soon.

Here is a screenshot of it in action:

Lastly, I invite everyone in the community to come hack on this with me; it's 
under the same license as NuPIC. And of course, feel free to use it in your 
demos (but be wary, it's still very early and the API might/will change).

Thanks,
Chetan
