Hi folks, I haven't posted here before, but some of you may know me from NuPIC meetups and hackathons.
I wanted to share with the list a talk I gave at ScalaDays 2015. It started with a brief overview of a subset of HTM principles as the audience was Scala developers with no background in this stuff. You'll notice a lot of elements (e.g., temporal pooling) are missing and the explanation is quite simplistic. It was enough background so that I could dissect a simplified implementation of a spatial pooler in Scala (code available on github: https://github.com/oomagnitude/scala-spatialpooler) . Unfortunately, the beginning of the video where I mentioned On Intelligence was chopped off, but I did mention NuPIC later in the talk. When I asked how many people had read On Intelligence, I was surprised by how many hands went up. Overall, folks were pretty intrigued by this stuff and had a lot of questions afterward. Here's the link to the video and slides: https://www.parleys.com/tutorial/only-had-brain-scala Julie
