Greetings Earthlings (and otherwise affiliated) :-) For the Numenta HTM Challenge, I am creating an app called Nostromo which is a Geospatial Tracking application much like the one created for NuPIC - except that it will be self-contained:
1. no separate server component and browser needed 2. launched on any platform (it is JavaFX after all) 3. executes route handling and mapping and HTM integration all in one button push 4. all the above by pointing at a file containing routes or routes created by hand in the APP! 5. written using HTM.java and since it is using a custom mapping API, we can add new features to it that don't currently exist in its predecessor... In order to do this (as mentioned above) a mapping API will be created first (since a complete one that does what is needed, doesn't currently exist - see FXMaps here: https://github.com/cogmission/FXMaps If there are any cracker-jack Java programmers out there interested in either helping with the Mapping API creation or adding to it -- or -- interested in creating a team for the HTM Challenge, you are most welcome! I already have the foundations of the Mapping API complete (another 2 days maybe) - and will be integrating it into an app for the HTM Challenge project (Nostromo) after that... The code isn't posted yet on either Nostromo or FXMaps, but it is going up in the next two days so at the very least you can watch the app being made and comment on it in the HTM.java gitter room! (All comments and suggestions are welcome!) https://gitter.im/numenta/htm.java If there is enough time, I would also like to take a stab at the GeospatialClassifier (see the discussion here at 56min ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZBtaP_gcn0&feature=youtu.be&t=56m5s) - This is the primary reason for seeking a team to help with this Challenge project so that I can have the time to develop the new classifier so that we can do route prediction also! As an added note to all contributors, the FXMaps API is open source and free (as in free beer), but Nostromo is open source and gifted to Numenta.org to promote HTM technology and assist with the forwarding of that effort. Any contributors will need to keep this in mind! :-) Please drop by the gitter chat room to add your comments and cheer us on, or watch the associated projects to use the code in your own projects!
