How does this compare to, say, the Google Prediction Service[1] ? The example use-cases sound similar-ish to my layman interpretation. I've never used a ML service though, so honestly I have no idea what to expect or look for.
Obviously this offers an on-site option that Google does not, which might open up other realms of options. I'm mostly curious in how / how well / what range of problems they're capable of.

- hayksaakian 13y agoThe OP's service has a better chance of staying around when it comes time for spring cleaning.
- Groxx 13y agoTrue :) Though IIRC Google's prediction API has been paid from day 1, so it might stick its neck out a bit less than e.g. Reader.
- piokuc 13y agoIt would be interesting to know how popular Google's prediction API actually is. They don't show off any testimonials or customers' success stories. The traffic on their forum seems rather moderate: https://developers.google.com/prediction/docs/general_discussion_forum https://developers.google.com/prediction/docs/general_discus... Regardless, I do believe MLaaS makes sense, not necessarily as a fully automated black box thingy, it could and probably should be backed by a consulting service - this is, I think, where startups in this space will have an edge over Google.
- dbecker 13y agoI haven't used OP's service, but the results from Google's prediction service are surprisingly bad (in both my tests, and in the experience of others I have talked to.)
