Aseem,

As my time permits I would be happy to comment and answer questions, but as
Matt said I need to focus on research and writing and can't guarantee any
dedicated time to mentoring.

Jeff

Aseem,

 

Jeff won't be participating as a mentor for SoN. And Subutai has volunteered
to mentor only one proposal [1]. They are going to be spending their time
this summer working on new TP ideas [2], so I don't think having them play a
major mentoring role will be possible.

 

The idea you proposed [3] is a very popular idea (to link CLAs in a
hierarchy). However, for a true full-blown hierarchy, the current algorithms
won't work well because we are missing the proper temporal pooling component
(one of the things Jeff and Subutai will be working on this year). You could
still create a hierarchy and see what happens, and you might get some
benefits. The deep learning folks, for example, create hierarchies without
any temporal component -- they just have a spatial hierarchy. 

 

That being said, I suggest you adjust your HOW ARE YOU example in the idea
to something non-lexical. Truthfully, it was hard for me to follow, and I
don't think your expectations are achievable today.

Hi
Can I request Mr Subutai and Mr Jeff hawkins to mentor me on my SON idea?
I have been working on the algorithm and going through some neuroscience
literature. I wanted to have a brief discussion with my mentors.
thanks
