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
