KNN classifier overlap scores #2817

Closed SaganBolliger closed 8 years ago

SaganBolliger commented 8 years ago

From https://jira.numenta.com/browse/RES-142:

The KNNClassifier output data is the inferred category probabilities. The HTMNetwork model uses this for querying by first assigning each data sample its own category, and then the category probabilities are relative distances to each data sample. This is hacky, and it would be much more useful (in Imbu and otherwise) to get the actual distance (overlap) values from the KNNClassifier region. This will also be necessary for matching HTM subsequences in IMBU-28. See the imbu runner for an example of querying the HTMNetwork model.

@SaganBolliger out of jira context this issue makes no sense. The nupic issue here is "get the actual distance (overlap) values from the KNNClassifier as a standard output of the region."

No longer needed.
