Could I ask people to have a think about this and possibly bounce
around ideas? We could schedule a round-table session during the
hackathon next month and see if there's an application area to focus
on in this regard. The most immediate candidates I can see right now
are cortical.io <http://cortical.io> (aka CEPT) for NLP and the
Geospatial Encoder.
IMHO, NLP is one of the hot areas that deep learning researchers are
attacking. So yeah, if Nupic and cortical.io can deliver comparable or
better results than deep networks', surely people will take Nupic
seriously.
One important domain that deep networks still have lower performance
than the state-of-the-art is video, e.g., action recognition. But I
think, unless we had GPU version of Nupic, Nupic would not be able to
compete in this area.
