Explanation of Inference Types in OPF

Engineering NuPIC

In the model Parameters, there is a section where we have to specify the inference type. It is written in the example Model Parameters that the following inference types are available.

  • TemporalNextStep: Returns one prediction into the future, assumes input contains temporal semantics.

  • NontemporalClassification: Returns classification of input.

  • TemporalClassification: Returns classification of input, assumes input contains temporal semantics.

  • NontemporalAnomaly: Returns anomaly score.

  • TemporalAnomaly: Returns anomaly score, assumes input contains temporal semantics.

  • NontemporalMultiStep: Returns many prediction into the future.

  • TemporalMultiStep: Returns many prediction into the future, assumes input contains temporal semantics.

I made this a wiki and tried me best to update the page. @scott I’m not sure I captured enough detail, can you have a quick look at this and edit if necessary? Once we have good wording I’ll put it in the docs.

Appreciate your help. Thank you so much. But can you please elaborate on what you mean by classification of input?
