Easy AI: Big Tech Options Are Too Complicated

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.

- 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.
