This looks great. I'd love to find out more about your API and what type of web scraping techniques you're using. It looks like this is going to be available publicly to developers? What type of usage do you guys allow?
- miket 16y agoI'd be happy to talk about the visual-based statistical classification technology in a follow-up blog post if there's interest.
- kmfrk 16y agoThere is(!) As someone who's right in the middle of Mining the Social Web, this almost seems too coincidental to be true.
- alextp 16y agoVisual classification sounds interesting. So you render the page and use location-based features to extract content?
- miket 16y agoIn short, yes. The key innovation is that we've come up with a lossy, fixed-length representation of the visual features that we can use to do classification upon. I'll try to do a more detailed writeup on our blog when I find some time. btw, our blog has no rss feed, but you can just use our RSS API :-) http://www.diffbot.com/api/rss/http:/www.diffbot.com/blog http://www.diffbot.com/api/rss/http:/www.diffbot.com/blog
- itsnotvalid 16y ago+1 for good computer science writeups
- jamongkad 16y agoI'm an interested party as well. As a student of machine learning I would love to learn the techniques you've applied. I'm doing a data mining startup and this would be very helpful.
