Easy AI: Big Tech Options Are Too Complicated

April 26, 2021

One my researchers spotted https://pretrained.ai/. This is a service which allows a customer to “integrate pretrained machine learning models in minutes.” The Web site explains:

Configure and deploy your own private, hosted API endpoints to process text, images, and other data using state-of-the-art machine learning.

Simple, right? The service offers these numerical recipes:

  • Face detection
  • Crowd counting
  • Language detection
  • Sentiment analysis
  • Entity extraction
  • OCR
  • Keyword extraction
  • Question answering.

At this time there are some questions to which I could not locate answers; for example:

  • What the biases embedded in the API endpoints
  • What’s the performance penalty when multiple API endpoints are chained together
  • What does “scalable” mean?
  • What’s the facial recognition “accuracy” rate on a crowd of 30 people of mixed ethnicity in early evening light?

Here’s the pricing:

Get started for free. Worth a look.
