Hello NuPIC, After taking today to recover after hosting two exciting events over the weekend, I thought I would update you all on how everything went. I'll probably follow up with a blog post later this week, but here's a short summary.
Community Meetup: ======================= Fun time meeting new people. Check our our two live streams from the event: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLBq6KKkY-Y - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji9R5fLY2Ik Congrats to the HTM Challenge Winners: =========================== Applications 1st Place: Jonathan Mackenzie (Adelaide Traffic Analysis) Applications 2nd Place: Mike Lucchetta / Alejo Pagadizabal (Air Traffic Anomaly Detection) Applications 3rd Place: Kentaro Iizuka (ECG + HTM) Innovation Prize: Marcus Lewis (ComportexViz for NuPIC) People's Choice: Chandan Maruthi (Hollybot) See http://htmchallenge.devpost.com/submissions Thanks to everyone who submitted a project and for all the hard work you put into them. I'll have a busy week editing videos, but I hope to have them complete and uploaded by this Friday so you can see all the judges' reactions and the sessions from Jeff and Subutai. Stay tuned! Overall, I thought this format worked very well. Projects were certainly higher quality than typical hackathon projects, and that is what I was looking for. It also allowed people from all over the world to participate without needing to travel. I will probably start planning to have a similar event in the Spring or Summer. I also learned a lot of lessons doing this the first time, so hopefully it will go a bit smoother next time. :) Regards, --------- Matt Taylor OS Community Flag-Bearer Numenta
