You think you've come up with a cow x algorithm that maybe algorithmia this

For ordinary users, a variety of interesting apps is an important commodity, so we often go to the App Store to download or buy a variety of apps. For developers, the "algorithm" is actually such a commodity. Algorithmia is a very interesting platform that uses the App store model to tailor a similar app store to "algorithms", allowing developers to publish their own algorithms to the store, or to find and buy algorithms that they need to implement.

How important the algorithm is to development should be needless to say. In fact, the algorithm represents the result of a person's thinking about solving a certain kind of problem. This academic knowledge is generated every day, but the algorithm's "liquidity" is not good: Many people do not know that the world has a new XXX algorithm, and many people invented a new XXX algorithm, but can not be widely effective implementation and application.

Algorithmia this app store to address these issues through cloud services:

Once the user found in the store to use the algorithm, just add a few lines of simple algorithm query code to the application, Algorithmia Server will guide the application query to the algorithm implementation, return results, thus avoiding the need to integrate the algorithm into application. The cost of the query depends on the algorithm author's pricing.

The company, founded by two university friends, won 2.8 million dollars in seed investment last year, and recently announced the opening of the test. Now that their stores have more than 800 algorithms, in order to show the charm of the algorithm store, they also deliberately through the user released seven algorithms to develop a named site map of the app, this app can pick up any web site, and then visually display the structure of the site.

There are already some algorithms in the market, such as the Dataxu of advertising algorithms, specialized in selling the snapanalytics of prefabricated predictive models, and the Algorithms.io focusing on machine learning algorithms. But Algorithmia's difference is that it accepts and sells all types of algorithms. The other is Stephen Wolfram's famous Mathematica Online, the cloud service's math software integrates many algorithms, but it's more of a home-grown algorithm. Quantopian is another algorithmic trading platform we've covered.
