Hi Marcus,

thanks for the links, I'll take a look at them shortly.


In terms of the hotgym example, I think of that as really being 1 time series 
input rather than multiple inputs.


One thing I need is to be able to input multiple time series'.

In particular, inputs that arrive at different time intervals.

(The inputs can't be handled by aligning them with just one time vector - each 
input needs it's own time vector.)


Thanks

Phil.

Hi Phil,

Multiple inputs are pretty easy with the OPF (i.e. the CLAModel). For example, 
hotgym<https://github.com/numenta/nupic/blob/master/examples/opf/clients/hotgym/simple/model_params.py#L66>
 uses the timestamp and the current power consumption.

For multi-level models, you'll probably want to use the Network API. Subutai 
gave a recent talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9yS9zFt3dM . Here's a demo 
that uses multiple levels: 
https://github.com/numenta/nupic/blob/master/examples/network/hierarchy_network_demo.py

Strictly speaking, from the Network API's perspective, the CLAModel only has 
one input, since it 
concatenates<https://github.com/numenta/nupic/blob/master/src/nupic/frameworks/opf/clamodel.py#L1108>
 the encodings via a MultiEncoder, but that's just an implementation detail. I 
recently created a demo that puts multiple inputs into a Network: 
https://github.com/numenta/nupic/blob/master/examples/network/core_encoders_demo.py

Hope that helps!
Marcus

I'm looking for an example (or examples) of using NuPIC with either (or both

With multiple inputs, the nearest example I can find is the NY Taxi example.

However the technical paper I have indicates that the 3 inputs are aggregated 
into one input (via competitive polling) before being fed into the model.

Can anyone tell me if it possible to have multiple inputs?

Or do multiple inputs have to be processed into one input as per that example?

I can't find the code for the NY taxi example (in the NuPIC GitHub repository).

Is it available, and if so where?


Also, is it possible to develop multi-level models?

If anyone can point me at any technical description of such models, or a code 
example, I'd appreciate it.


thanks

Phil.
