I posted a Short Talk to the wiki <https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki/HTM-Challenge-Community-Meetup-Planning> .
- Marcus: *How HTM is visualized*. We'll glance at Cerebro, ComportexViz, and NuPIC Studio's visualizations, and then dive into how they fundamentally work, in simple terms. How the data flows. How Clojure is indeed a little bit magical, but not truly necessary. On Mon, Oct 26, 2015 at 9:31 PM, Matthew Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > I nominate David Ray to moderate.
