I'd like to have the NuPIC platform in the gentoo repositories. Quoting from the site (http://www.numenta.com/): "NuPIC allows developers to build an HTM Network and train the network using their data. After the HTM Network has gone through training, it can not only recognize the objects it has been trained on, but can also recognize and classify related objects. For example, the Pictures HTM Network included with NuPIC has been trained to recognize images that belong to different categories. When an image is submitted that is similar to an existing category, but that the HTM Network has not seen before, the network can recognize the image with fairly high accuracy. This is similar to humans, who can recognize a cup or a dog from different distances, from different angles, and under different lighting conditions." It's effectively a neural network for programming. It's an interesting project, and having it in the repositories would greatly increase ease of use. Reproducible: Always
I went to the site and it appears that there are a lot of packages. Every package would need its own ebuild, which is impractical for the number of times this package would be needed. I have set the bug to WONTFIX because the ebuild is not needed after all, I'll just use a local installation in my home folder. Moreover, I've learned how to make ebuilds, so there's no need anymore for anyone else to make it. Please respond if you are still interested in this ebuild, so that I will see if it is worth the hassle to get it in the repositories.
