Neural Networks in TM1

[nhavis]

Has anyone implemented or wanted to implement a Neural Network in TM1?

If so, what for?

I am trying to set something up. I am a TM1 expert but I have limited knowledge on Neural Networks.
From what I understand about Neural Networks for the moment, TM1 could be a very powerful tool to set up a Neural Network.

Well, I'm not saying that you couldn't do it, just...why would you?

Having recently implemented univariate and multivariate linear regression using gradient descent in TM1;

- it will take much longer to implement than writing the equivalent code in Octave, R, Matlab etc.
- it will be much slower than the equivalent implementation in Octave, R, Matlab etc.

By all means, store the inputs or the results in TM1, but I think you would be better off firing the data out to one of these languages rather than trying it in TM1.

I agree why would you?

I'm also struggling (based on TM1's processing architecture) to see what benefit you would derive from doing this?
