Well, that only tells me you haven't played enough with your data or haven't chosen best models to base your predictions of. No NLP software/whatever in the world will tell you "what is this sentence about" with high confidence without giving the system a concrete context. That's a task people's been trying to solve for many years. Once you have a context though, you're not that far from what Predictions API does.
It pretty much often looks like you're taking some numbers from the sky and round them up. Take a close look at https://developers.google.com/prediction/docs/pricing, 10k predictions/months cost $0; $0.50 for each 1k above 10k; $0.50 for 250Mb of 1 dataset training. cloud storage cost nothing. I don't see $20k not even close. Well, that of course depends on what you need exactly. Predictions API obviously isn't a silver bullet. Nice thing about your posts though is you often get me laughing reading your so highly confident numbers :) On Monday, March 5, 2012 6:58:55 PM UTC+1, Brandon Wirtz wrote: > > Kind of sort of, not really. > > > > Prediction doesn’t give you back any of the NLP, so you can’t say “What is > this sentence about”, or what was user trying to search for. > But also it is SOOOO VERYYYYYY Expensive.
