Google Launches a Data Prediction API

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday May 20, 2010 @02:00AM from the i-predict-they-launch-something-else-too dept.

databuff writes "Google has released a data prediction API. The service helps users leverage historical data to make predictions that can guide real-time decisions. According to Google, the API can be used for prediction tasks ranging from product recommendations to churn analysis (predicting which customers are likely to switch to another provider). The API involves three simple steps: upload the data, train the model, then generate predictions. The API is currently available on an invitation-only basis." Google also recently announced several other API additions, including Buzz, Fonts, and Storage.

  Every male in your family tree has had sex at least once, so the odds look good for you.
