Algorithms are valuable, but in the scope of machine learning what is becoming increasingly valuable are data sets. The algorithm is one very important building block but a good data set is what finally allows you to materialize a solution.

this is exactly what I say every single time someone shows off a project like this. Give me valuable data (and lots of it). Instead of an algorithm store, have a dataset store. I wanna buy a dataset of 1 million tagged stackoverflow questions. I wanna buy a dataset of 1 million random Amazon reviews. I wanna buy a dataset of 1 million blog comments. i wanna buy a dataset updated monthly of billions of new urls found…

Check out Synapse.AI basically answers your question to data + ML models -- in a decentralized way.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

- Video tutorials - at least for the onboarding to show around the platform and get users adopt faster (other than the hello world). Cause when we did the api marketplace rebuild from the UX perspective we messed up the onboarding (for a while) because we didn't give users a clear explanation of what they had to do to get started. There was too much text in the docs and too many buttons - once we fixed that users sta…

Awesome. Thanks! - In January we're going to start live webinars where users can ask questions and we can help with specific questions. We'll use those recordings to make some onboarding videos. The second two are great ideas. I'm going to see if we can get them on the road map ~ Mike

Good luck my dude! Keep rocking it

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 s…

That sounds a lot like what these guys do: http://www.sentiance.com

Is there some legal/technical reason you couldn't encapsulate their APIs?

Resell Microsoft or Amazon APIs? I don’t see why not but it sounds a bit like misrepresentation to me.
