>"But this is yet to be shown; for some reason authors decide not to "compete" on a same ground. Instead of "promoting" their methods in scientific community via publications / comparisions with existing approaches they seem to focus on people who have little knowledge of modern machine learning."
You'd have to provide them then with a decent argument about what economic/competitive benefit they would get by what you suggest. You say they're commercial companies, so then don't be surprised when their approach is based on financial incentives. But trust me, they're probably begging to have someone show them a better alternative that will give them a competitive edge.
So, either no one like you has given them that alternative/idea. Someone has already, and they rejected the financial benefit. Or, finally, someone already told them your idea but they discovered there was no financial benefit and the only benefit was for the greater society.
- kmike84 12y agoA cynical view on this could be the following: Numenta sells licenses, cortical.io sells api requests, they benefit from more developers using their tools. Commercial companies which fund deep learning research (like Microsoft and Google ) develop their own products which are based on machine learning, they benefit from advancing state of the arts, from better algorithms. So we have quality publications and algorithms from Microsoft or Google and quality marketing from Numenta or cortical.io.
