Hello, I would like to join the HTM Challenge, but am not sure at all if mine can meet the requirements.
In the first place, let me explain about my idea. 1. Amazon S3 extension API for anomaly detection * PUT bucket anomaly detection (parameters) - target bucket to store results(anomaly scores/predictions) - input information - model information - output information We develop and sell S3 compatible object storage software and appliance. In Japan, major service providers use our product to offer cloud storage service to their end users. So, imagine an end user uploads a sensor data periodically to the bucket on a cloud. In the cloud, a job to produce anomaly scores/predictions get scheduled, executed with HTM. And the result becomes available on the target bucket. An end user keeps polling the latest anomaly scores on the target bucket to see if there's an anomaly, and takes an action as required. Of course, it is possible to get historical data as well. This is a generic APIs for anomaly detection. 2. Low/Super Low frequency wave detector Low/Super Low frequency wave is becoming more problematic to human health(especially to sleep). It is not easy to measure, nor impossible to hear. Having difficulty in sleep on one night could be because of low frequency wave coming from a nearby location. So I guess it is not a bad idea to measure and record low/super low frequency waves with a smart phone, and keep uploading to a cloud. On the other hand, more and more disasters(earthquakes, landslides, eruptions) happen today in Japan. According to some researchers, they are observed with low frequency waves. If such an app is used by many people, it would detect a disaster before it happens. In summary, such an low/super low frequency wave data(geospatial temporal data) is put on a bucket with anomaly detection enabled, being analyzed by HTM as a whole. Then anomaly scores to indicate (unknown)disasters are generated, and notified as needed. 1 fully utilizes HTM, but not an application. 2 is an application, but does not directly use HTM. Besides, perhaps it's impossible to get samples of a disaster for a demo in one month. Is this qualified for the challenge? If yes, which part? Thanks, Takenori
