I'm not Remi, but I know a bit about Numenta. I gave a "lightning
talk" at their
workshop about a year and a half ago. A few people at Numenta are
interested
in using their software for Go, and I was working with one of them
before my
heart problems stopped that work.
I do not think that they are all start-up hype, but their product is
still short a
few features that would be needed to play Go. Lately they have mostly
been
working on image recognition, and their proposed "prediction" module
won't
get up to release standards until they are even further along with the
vision
modules.
The existing image modules could possibly be used for evaluation
functions,
but that seemed hard to me. I am willing to wait for the prediction
module
that would more directly lead to move generation.
Cheers,
David

Remi, what do you think of Numenta http://www.numenta.com/, a
startup that
is using feedforward/feedback networks to model learning and pattern
recognition in the neocortex. Does this approach make sense or is
it just
startup hype?
