We want to create a repository of apps / APIs that provide forecasts and predictions for a broad class of questions that concern all human beings. We would also like to create our own predictive API - so if you are interested in this project, contact us at [email protected], we might have a gig for you! Here's an example of what we did in the past. We also designed apps for stock market predictions (see our data science book, page 195-208) and copyright infringement detection.
Basically, we see two types of apps that are based on data science:
Here we are interested in #1, though we are also in the process of designing a generic predictor based on HDT and Jackknife regression, with source code available at no cost for everyone (open intellectual property).
Predictive apps currently available
This is a starting point. Please let us know (in the comment section below) if there are other apps you'd like to share, or provide a link. Here are a few ones to begin with:
I would imagined many of these apps would be based on data collected via crowdourscing, using decision trees for the predictive engine. I would think that some of these apps would be offered for free, with monetization via advertising.
Finally, designing this type of apps can be a lucrative jobs for data scientists, consisting in selling or licensing refined data (that you collected) or predictions.
