- 4. Agenda • What are actionable analysis APIs? • Example 1 - Weather API - IBM • Example 2 - Custom prediction API - Prefetching • Example 3 - Text sentiment API – Google/Algorithmia Machine Learning • Future opportunities
- 7. Collect Data Analyse Data Change something Reporting APIs Tracking APIs Analysis APIs An Analytics Workflow
- 8. Collect Data Analyse Data Change something Reporting APIs Tracking APIs Analysis APIs An Analytics Workflow
- 10. Analysis API An API that transforms data into useful information
- 11. Examples of actionable analysis APIs • Visualisations for decision support (dashboards) • Multivariant testing • Bid managers • Enrichment of data - weather • Content prediction - prefetching • Text analysis – machine learning API We will talk today about these ones: …but others include:
- 13. Deployment • Only one webservice used • Geo- and weather data in one go • A bunch of information returned
- 14. Deployment
- 15. Analysis • Take daily lag to negate spurious trend correlation • tscount() R package for poisson distribution • 16% ±4% extra visitors on rainy days

- 31. Preparation for the singularity • Get your data tidy and out of silos • Start prototyping models • Skill up in a ML tech stack
- 32. Skill up in a machine learning tech stack • Google BigQuery • Google Compute Engine • Tensorflow • Dataproc (Spark) • Redshift/Athena • Amazon EMR • EC2 • S3 • Amazon Machine Learning • SQL Data Warehouse • Azure • Microsoft R • Microsoft Cognitive Programming languages: R, Python, bash, JavaScript, Scala, Java, Julia(?), SQL
- 33. ML: Google Flavoured Build your own self- driving car! ....or for simpler use cases use the pre- trained models available using easy to use APIs
- 34. A Microsoft Cognitive API Example https://matt-stannard.blogspot.dk/2016/12/measuring-footfall-with-google.html
- 35. • Look to reduce time to actions via APIs • GTM can do more than tracking • Skill up in a machine learning tech stack Summary
