Hello NuPIC, I will be sending weekly updates about the HTM Challenge to the NuPIC community. This is the first one.
7 days since launch 42 days until submissions close 33 registered participants [1] 3 projects submitted 2 projects approved [2] Updates: Based upon feedback from the community, who have been having trouble getting NuPIC installed on common systems, I have been working on several tutorial videos about installing and compiling on OS X and Linux [3]. A survey I sent out [4] shows that there are still some barriers to installation for some people, and I am working to resolve them on GitHub and the mailing lists. Another common request is for an example of NuPIC handling multivariate input for anomaly detection or prediction of one field. While Numenta has moved away from this in our product examples, there is still much interest in it because it seems like such a valuable use-case for HTM. We either need to provide rationale for why we do not suggest using multivariate input, or a code example of how it can be set up (with a realistic data set).
