Exploring the Economics of Wholesale and Retail Algorithmic APIs - DZone Integration

I got sucked into a month long project applying machine learning filters to video over the holidays. The project began with me doing the research on the economics behind Algorithmia's machine learning services, specifically the DeepFilter algorithm in their catalog. My algorithmic rotoscope work applying Algorithmia's deep filters to images and drone videos has given me a hands-on view of Algorithmia's approach to algorithms and APIs, as well as the opportunity to think pretty deeply about the economics of all of this. I think Algorithmia's vision of all of this has a lot of potential for not just image filters, but any sort of algorithmic and machine learning API. Using Algorithmia is pretty straightforward. With their API or CLI, you can make calls to a variety of algorithms in their catalog (in this case, their DeepFilter solution).
