I never used this platform until today, wow. This reminds me of old Mashape and early Blockspring if they had a baby (loved those). I'm very excited to dig into this more! WOW, I can tell more developers would love this if there was more outreach and love around this product!

Welcome to the community :) What would you like to see?

There is an decentralized AI/ML startup building something in this domain on top of Ethereum called Synapse.AI you'll want to check out if you're interested in Web3 stuff. They do both the data, algorithms, and other functionality to help autonomous agents grow. Numerai also wants to monopolize Data and ML models in a decentralized way, and I believe that is also on Ethereum. There is also Enigma, Doc.ai, and a few o…

Seems like they are mainly focused on data collecting and monetizing. Do you see something about them hosting AI/ML models?

Yeah read the yellow paper. It's all about connecting data to models and beyond. It's next level stuff. It's been posted a lot in the groups I'm a part of and people are saying it's part of some crazy automated future of AI and robots.

A related endeavor is James Simons' Flatiron Institute.

They're creating bespoke algorithms for academics in the fields of computational biology, computational astronomy, and computational quantum physics -- replacing current practice of passing down old, duct taped Fortran code from professors to grad students.

There was an interesting profile in the New Yorker a few days ago: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/12/18/jim-simons-the...

monkeylearn.com is kind of in the space too albeit not as large.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've walked past your Post Alley office countless times on my commute. Good to see a local name on the front page!

stop by any time, we always like talking to developers.

I'm also interested in stopping by sometime (I live nearby and am the founder of cocalc.com).

indeed not even close to being that large. But super easy to use and only focused on NLP.

When you're working on a startup the hustle is real. Walking into work this morning and seeing that somebody added us here and that it hit the front page is a great way to start the day. Thanks y'all :) As a thank you here's a code to get 30,000 credits on me to test out some of the algorithms. Here's the code: HNDec2017

very interesting. Is there any kind of forum where you can state a problem and someone can suggest what AI/ML to try and apply to the problem?

We have an IOT platform where we have thousands of sensors gathering all kinds of data for all kinds of industries, there are lots of interesting things we could do with the data. A lot would be around predicting the future, other situations is about classifying complex data streams as a certain kind of events which we can then use as alarms or information for decision making.
