Add emotion detection to your livestreaming service.  Find all the faces in your security tapes. Detect the make and model of every car that passes your shop.  Flag nudity in users' uploaded videos.

Where it all began

At Algorithmia, one of our driving goals is to enable all developers to stand on the shoulders of the algorithmic giants. Like Lego our users can construct amazing devices and tools by utilizing our algorithmic building blocks like FaceDetection or Smart Image Downloader.

As a...

Last week we wrote an algorithm spotlight about a video processing algorithm called Video Metadata Extraction. This week, we are pairing it up with a really cool microservice from an Algorithmia user called Car Make and Model Recognition that detects a car’s make and model from an image. This...

You may already be familiar with Algorithmia’s nudity detector for images, but thanks to recent changes which allow us to parallel-process each frame of a video, you can now detect which segments of a video may contain nudity. We’ll use this new microservice, video nudity detection, to create a...

Last week we talked about how Video Transform was able to change the way users handled video transformation tasks. What’s even better than being able to Transform Videos at will? Getting actual, structured information out of them! This week we introduce you Video Transform’s sister, Video Metadata...

This week we check out who Microsoft tapped to change the way humans interact with machines, learn why every data science team needs a centralized platform for their work, what we're reading, and some things to try at home.

Recently, we introduced you to Video Transform, a meta-algorithm which can take any of our image transformations -- such as Colorization, Saliency, Style Transfer, or Resolution Enhancement -- and apply it to a video instead! ...but if picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth 24-30,000...

At Algorithmia, we have strived to develop a variety of powerful and useful image transformation algorithms that utilize cutting-edge machine learning techniques. These are the building blocks which let any developer build more complex algorithms and solve harder problems, regardless of their...

TL;DR A resilient Data Science Platform is a necessity to every centralized data science team within a large corporation. It helps them centralize, reuse, and productionize their models at peta scale. We’ve built Algorithmia Enterprise for that purpose.

You’ve built that R/Python/Java model. It...

Issue 50 This week we let Amazon "Look" at us using computer vision, check out why you want to deploy your machine learning model as a scalable, serverless microservice, and look at why machine intelligence is the key to building sustainable businesses. Plus what we're reading this week and things...
