Hello everyone,
I am an Assistant Professor with AIT a small private institute in Athens,
Greece. My main research focus is in wireless networks of all kinds.
I found out about Numenta several years ago from an article in IEEE Spectrum
that immediately caught my attention. Back in 2009, I proposed and supervised a
Master Thesis on Traffic Anomaly Detection using NuPIC (I can send the Thesis
to anyone that is interested). Unfortunately, I didn't have the time and
resources to continue this work since then. It was very interesting to find out
that this has now become the first commercial application of Grok!
Currently, I am working with a student in collaboration with an expert MD on
using NuPIC for analyzing medical vital signs for diagnosis of medical
conditions and early warnings on abnormal incidents. We are at the first stages
of this work. I will let you know if we get some promising results.
Take care,
Spyros

Hi guys and gals,
I'm not a very active contributor to the list, but I'm keeping an eye and
trying to make time/resources to play around!
I'm Paulo, software engineer and Portuguese, always was fascinated by these
brains of ours, intelligence, and let's call it AI. I'm a software engineer,
started with BASIC when I was like 7 years or something. Then I did a PhD in
Netherlands in neuroimaging - diffusion MRI and all of that.
Now in Barcelona co-founded a start-up on neuroimaging analysis and beyond, and
I think NuPIC can have a very interest potential here.
Ah, I do partner acrobatics :)
Cheers,
Paulo

Hello NuPIC,
Thanks for your patience during this very annoying mailing list
situation. It seems that the dust has settled after migrating to our
own virtual private server, and the lists are back to 100%
functionality.
... But that's not good enough for me! I think we should STRESS-TEST
our mailing lists' new home. So here is the plan: I've sent this
message to each of our four mailing lists. Please reply to this
message with a short SELF-INTRODUCTION! I'm especially interested in
hearing from LURKERs who've been reading the lists but never posted.
Let us know you exist, even if it's just a short "hello world!". If
you are an established poster that everyone knows, perhaps you should
share something interesting or unique about yourself that no one on
the list knows.
Here's mine:
I spent over four years in the US Air Force working as an intelligence
analyst. I worked to support the B-2 Stealth program, and I trained
pilots about air defense systems, so I know a lot about surface-to-air
missiles. After leaving the Air Force, I worked as a defense
contractor, where I really got into programming mostly in fortran77
and shell scripts. I had to convince my coworkers to use Java!! Can
you believe that? Anyway, I realized I wanted to dedicate my career to
software development instead of supporting combat operations, so I
left to build code, and I ended up here at Numenta.
Your turn!
