Question

NuPIC model params has invalid parameter for RDSE

Closed this issue 9 years ago · 4 comments

The RDSE configuration has a property called numBuckets that is not an input parameter for the actual RDSE. This is confusing. You can see where this value is removed from the actual model params before creating the model and used as part of the resolution calculation here.

I found this confusing, as I assumed that the model params could be used as-is.

I can totally see why this is done, I just think it could be done in a less confusing way. At least make it clear that the model_params.json file cannot be uses directly.

The RDSE needs to know what granularity at which to setup the data buckets, and then use this granularity to calculate the resolution on a per file basis. That is, numBuckets is specified for the entire corpus, from which the RDSE calculates resolution for each data file in the corpus. The fix for #231 will make this a bit cleaner.
