I am interested in using HTM for invariant object recognition. I read the theory of both generations of HTM algorithm(zeta1 and CLA). I think zeta1 is more suitable for rotation/pose invariant object recognition. But, nupic 1.7.1 is not available at http://www.numenta.com/legacysoftware.php now. Is it possible to use CLA for this purpose?
