GlueCon 2013 Notes: Machine Learning APIs (You Probably Didn’t Know About) – Chris Ismael, Mashape

Machine Learning APIs (You Probably Didn’t Know About) – Chris Ismael, Mashape

• Many machine learning libraries have complexity hidden behind an API
• Natural language processing (NLP) and social media are often seen together
• Common machine learning categories
  • Summarization
    • Wavii and Summly recently acquired – both summarize news using NLP
  • Stemming and Lemmatization try to find the root word to find derivative searches
  • Face detection/recognition
  • Language detection/translation
  • Recommender system
  • Word-sense disambiguation
  • Named entity recognition (date, location, person, classification)
  • Parts of speech tagging
  • Chunking or shallow parsing
• http://mloss.org – a variety of machine learning algorithms open sourced that may be candidates for API-ification
• http://mashape.com – cloud API marketplace
• http://algorithms.io – machine learning APIs
