40+ business machine learning technology applications

    Translation fasting Philip Hodzhetta, speaking recently at a conference Hollywood Professional Association Tech Retreat. I hope that the list of relevant services ready for integration into your projects and examples of a working business based on machine learning gathered in one place will be useful to developers. I propose to share your own results of the successful implementation of projects related to deep learning.
    Trying to determine for myself how we could use machine learning in our software business, I made this list. I was slightly shocked by the variety of ways to use M.O. According to TechCrunch , more than $ 10 billion has already been invested in 1,500 startups related to M.O. and artificial intelligence. In 2017, an increase of four times is predicted! I wanted to share this list with you ...

    Word processing


    Machine translate


    The tasks of automatic machine translation have been relevant for a very long time, but in-depth training has proven to be most effective in the following areas:


    Handwriting


    The task of generating handwritten text for an arbitrary phrase, subject to training on a large set of sample manuscripts.


    Text Generation


    An interesting task of generating text based on the analysis of a large body of texts. Known methods of generating text word-for-word and letter-by-letter generation. Models learn grammar, punctuation, sentence formation and even imitate the stylistics of body texts.


    Classification


    Text classification or thematic modeling allows thousands of news items to be automatically grouped in news aggregators. It is also used to group keywords within a given taxonomy.

    Business and Law
