Hi Chirag,

I read the article out of curiosity and have to say that while they use a few 
overlapping terms, this is still another regurgitation of Deep Learning 
networks which bare no resemblance at all to constructs in NuPIC. 

The "patter" around it can make it seem as if the two approaches have some 
degree of alignment - but they don't. 

For example:

They then proceed to build something that is totally orthogonal to any 
appearing in biology - co-opting the approach description of NuPIC without 
embodying it.

The article is interesting for its relaying of the history of perceptrons 
though.

Cheers,
David
