I have implemented in all my apps iAd. It works, it brings me some money, but I saw it is possible to implement Google Ad view element too. It takes somewhat more time to understand how to implement. That is a down side. But I can see several app uses it. What can explain its popularity? Does it pay more than iAd?
As with everything ad-related, it depends on your stats. Different types of ads are available in different countries, and there are many ad platforms that try to maximize revenue (for both you and the companies serving them).
Since you've implemented iAd, I'm assuming you're familiar with metrics like tap-through rate (TTR), fill rate, effective cost per mile (eCPM), and impressions. These are important and will determine your revenue on any platform.
That said, Google ads are very popular not just in iOS apps, but across the Internet, which is important. Since Google tracks users' search histories, it has a wealth of information about that user, which you'd assume would bring more relevant ads, bringing you more revenue. However, Apple has data about what apps users have downloaded, which can often be quite relevant.
It's your decision to make, but there are trade-offs for each; while Google may serve more relevant ads, for example, Apple holds advertisers to a higher design standard, resulting in higher-quality ads.
A typical set up is to have the app serve ads from one platform and to use the other in case of failure (i.e. if Apple can't serve an ad when you want one, try Google).

I work for a retail bank and aim to set up real-time analytics solutions for customer applications made online (web/app). Such requests range from opening deposit accounts with the bank to applying for loans, credit cards et al.
I’d like to leverage the applicants’ inputs from the application form plus credit score, salary, and past relationship data with the bank to create real-time, customized interaction with the customer to help them make informed decisions. e.g., if a customer with relatively low income is applying for a premium deposit account, the communication should emphasize on its high cost of maintenance . On the other hand, if a high value customer is requesting for a mid-range credit card, I’d like to try upsell a platinum card.
Such interaction would occur either directly through the bank application interface or customer care executives who are enabled with these analytics-driven recommendations when they speak to the customers.
I seek guidance on how to implement these ideas using machine learning: Relevant techniques, platform that you may have worked on in the past. In general, sharing any experience on similar projects should also be much useful.
Thank you.

I am currently building a virtual classroom website and so far I have successfully added webcam & audio functionality.
The next thing that is on my list is to add realtime document collaboration.
So how this would work is:
Two people join a private session
These two people have a shared document that they can both edit and changes are displayed in realtime to the other user.
An example of this would be google docs where you can be multiple people on one document.
Anyway, I have seen a few APIs that do this, for example I have looked into google docs api, but it requires you to have a google account which is not optimal. (Registering both on my website and on google docs can be a hassle or too much work for some people).
I have also looked into Zoho, but I am unsure if it can fill my needs.
Does anyone of you know an API that can do this? Preferably both document and sheets(excel looking).
Thanks!
The Google Realtime API is especially well-suited for document collaboration, but it sounds like it's not a good fit. There are a few other options out there:
ShareDB is an open-source realtime database backend, used in the DerbyJS framework.
Mozilla's TogetherJS provides view-level collaboration features.
Convergence (disclaimer: I am a founder) is a new hosted platform providing APIs for this sort of functionality. We have identified the most common pain points when implementing realtime collaboration features, and provide high-level APIs to solve them.
Multiplayer is concurrent editing database, it looks like it is based on Operation Transforms and they are planning to launch on Kickstarter. Looks like it can do exactly what you need, and they use Websockets to send changes in real-time.

I have 2 questions regarding to Apple App Store.
I see many people mimicking applications and publishing them in the Apple App Store. Isn't this plagiarism and shouldn't this be sued? One obvious example would be the numerous apps copied from flappy birds.
Can you publish applications on U.S. Apple App Store if you're abroad? Or do you only get to publish on the Apple App Store you are currently living?
For the first question it is very interesting topic.
People tend to mimic games/apps when a specific app becomes so famous. In order to go to law against those copycats the respective person has to register himself of respective copyright trademarks which involves a lot of money for lawyer and copyright claims. Some hit games/apps are developed by indie developers who does not have that much money to invest in these trademarks. Taking this advantage, some devs are really smart that they see whether the creator comes from a big company if not they start to create copies and upload to appstore.
Mostly this can be sued if you have the proof. That is the code. Since you do not have proof that the copycat is using your code you cannot sue them. The other part is the images. If you find any of your app is using the images that you have created then you have the proof you can start suing them.
So how to stop this. If the app really got that famous then the creator can file a complaint to apple about the copycats and if he provides some necessary data then apple will consider removing the app.
Also if you want your app to be so different than the copycats then update your with app with lot features constantly(Which is see in Tiny Wings and Temple Run where the second version of it is way better than the copycats).
Another fact is According to apple review guidelines
2.11 Apps that duplicate Apps already in the App Store may be rejected
I did have the same question and I started to google about this and found some knowledge which i shed here. You would get more insights if you google it.
For the second question the simple answer is YES and you can choose the countries you want to upload the app.

I have an eBook in ePub format and want to release as an app on the Apple App Store ?
How can I go about it?
Does apple need the ISBN code?
Can I just integrate one ebook in the app?
There are some requirements though but help is available.You'll need to have:
ISBN numbers for the books you want to distribute
the ability to deliver the book in EPUB format
the book pass EpubCheck 1.0.5+
a US Tax ID (sorry world, this is only open to the US at this point)
an iTunes account backed up by a credit card
If you can't provide listed requirment
If you don't know how to get an ISBN
number or potentially want to get paid
faster, Apple suggests that you use an
Apple-approved aggregator. These are
firms that have a financial
arrangement with Apple and can provide
a number of services at what seems to
be a reasonable cost. Each aggregator
delivers a different set of services
Here is one of top Approved Aggregators
http://apple.libredigital.com/
you can find others google it
If you want to make it into an app, then you need to develop an ebook reader if sorts. In that case, Apple does not need the ISBN. You likely can integrate just one book, but remember to include enough functionality so that Apple will not consider your "app" to be of little entertainment value.
Alternatively, you can apply for the iBook store.

Are there any paid or free named entity recognition web services available.
Basically I'm looking for something - where if I pass a text like:
"John had french fries at Burger King"
It should be identify - something along the lines:
Person: John
Organization: Burger King
I've heard of Annie from GATE - but I don't think it has a web service available.
OpenCalais by Reuters - pretty awesome at detecting companies, political entities etc. but not, say, food items.
Free for 50,000 requests per day even for commercial, as long as you display their logo.
Totally tripped by certain types of input though. As of now, this results in nothing being detected, despite Wacom being a relatively well-known company.
Wacom introduces WILL - the Wacom Ink Layer Language as a Leading Standard in Digital Inking
DBPedia Spotlight was just released yesterday. Its based on Wikipedia articles and also available as Open Source.
Alchemy API also offers a web API with some rich functionality. It includes named entity recognition as well as sentiment analysis, concept tagging, and several other NLP-related features.
Free for 1k queries per day, then with various tiers of paid subscriptions if you need more than that.
Rosoka Cloud is available through Amazon AWS Marketplace. You can stand it up and use it for as long as you need it and shut it down when you are done. You can use the drag and drop feature if you only need to process a handful of documents, or use the webservice interfaces if you want to do bulk processing. It is inexpensive option for using commercial grad entity extraction for short periods.
support 230 different languages.
