As a user, I want to be able to plot strings as well as numerical data #5

Although DyGraphs only accepts numbers for graphing, some users want to plot text as well. Work in progress is being done here: https://github.com/breznak/nupic/pull/20

Ideas:

[ ] hash string as a number, plot the number
[ ] Advanced: use cortical.io to compute similarity (mean/min/max distance) to other strings
- [ ] use that as numeric representation
- does not work that well for streaming data, but well for a fixed alphabet (=dataset)

@jefffohl if there's no objections, I'll try to reimplement this from the old PR, for the categories it used to work quite ok.

jefffohl commented 8 years ago

@breznak - whatever works for you is fine. do you mean you will manually copy over the code you had implemented in the PR?

breznak commented 8 years ago

@jefffohl yes, I'll simplify it so there's only 1 issue at hand (the strings here)

jefffohl commented 8 years ago

@breznak - as part of #7 I am renaming and moving things around. Are you in the middle of things with this?

breznak commented 8 years ago

not yet, so go ahead please... I'll sync with you when I start rewriting the code

jefffohl commented 8 years ago

@breznak - I merged a PR that included the changes for the unit tests. I will be adding more unit tests later, but it shouldn't involve any renaming or moving things around, so feel free to start work on this.
