[I'm CC'ing the list. I sent Frank a copy of Bitworm separately.]

Hi Frank,

This sounds great. I can't believe you are doing this in high school!  I
would love to hear more details about your specific project so we can help
you out. Here are some initial pointers:

At the last hackathon some people (Stan, Dan and Jin) did a project to
learn specific songs using CLA. Instead of identifying songs they trained
the CLA to predict future notes. You could look at their fun presentation
and source code here:

To actually get NuPIC to _categorize_ songs, it's a bit more complicated as
we don't have good examples of categorization using NuPIC. The current
examples focus on prediction and anomaly detection.  Another hackathon
participant (Pete) categorized different gestures in the following way: he
trained a separate CLA for each gesture category. Then, when sending in new
data he just selected the CLA which had the lowest anomaly score. This is a
hack that worked and is a quick way to get going.  It's not the right way
to do it but might be the fastest way to get something working.

If you want to talk in more depth - we will hold "office hours" again soon.
If you are going to do this project it would be great if you participated
and asked questions. We could give you more pointers there.

Cheers,

--Subutai
