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.

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 need a tool to clearly present a story board to my development team on a daily basis that shows the iteration stories and the tasks that need to be done. I've tried TFS Workbench v2.2, but found that it doesn't make efficient use of the screen which is critical when using a projector and showing off to the whole team.
Previously I've used tools like XPlanner and Rally which were friendlier to use, but my current project stores everything in TFS so I have to have tight integration.
Have you given Telerik Work Item Manager and Project Dashboard a try?
http://www.telerik.com/agile-project-management-tools/tfsmanager-and-tfsdashboard.aspx
Okay, so it's not a web app, but I've found it fairly useful.
Try http://urbanturtle.com/. It's integrated with Team Web Access and does pretty well on larger screens. There are a number of convenient things built in which make it a pretty good active digital board.
Eylean Board could be a good solution for this. It offers integration with TFS, the taskboard is designed to be informative on a small or a big screen and it has nice additional features such as time tracking and reports.
Take a look at AgileWrap.
It has a built-in Taskboard that shows story and task cards for an iteration. You can project Taskboard on a big screen during daily meeting and update status of stories, tasks and defects. If you have some data in external system that you cannot move to AgileWrap then you can store external system's hyperlinks in the description and comments (links are clickable) of stories and tasks for reference.
Take a look at TaskBoard video at YouTube.

I work for a mid sized Architecture and Engineering firm, our sub group focusses on developing tech solutions for engineers, mappers and technical managers. So we're heavy on desktop based apps for GIS and Civil/Env Engineering (some web). The company sells the services that our Engineers and mappers produce and our team develops tools that aids in them being more productive, efficient and help in adding value to their decesions and products, we DONOT sell the technology.
We are going through growing pains where initally we used to be extremely responsive and could rapidly prototype apps for engineers which immediately brought budgetary savings. That mindset has worked for us in the past. But this year we won a huge contract and our client base has basically quintupled (5 times?). What we are finding is that this rapid prototyping culture is hurting us, where project managers have started to expect short response times for tool development and robust production ready tools for all our engineers and gis analysts. We've grown organically and now it seems that we are running into these issues were it appears we have to scale back our speed for more stability.
Is this a legitimate tradeoff? Is there a win-win?
How does one push back the engineer, project manager and analyst when they are our clients, they fund us and yet we need to be able to push back and tell them that if they want stability they have to be realistic about time frames?
This isnt Microsoft Word, these are specialized GIS software and Engineering models with a ton of interop components for other industry standard models, they arent idiot proof tools, they need informed inputs and we can only test things so much.
Has anyone dealt with similar growing pains? Recommendations/advice on a communication stance, books, blogs?
Appreciate the time!
The best thing to do here is to start to be honest about the strain and show, in writing, what exactly is happening and who all has demands on your team. You need to show the hours that all of your tasks are taking and who is doing them and be able to show that level of status.
This merely give you some sort of proof about what's happening. At that point you can start to do the re-organization you need to do in order to start to support growth.

I have a client who is looking for a solution to integrate cctv with a (any) ANPR solution that can,I assume recognize the number plate of cars and store in a database and has the ability to post this data to other backoffice applications, crm, marketing app. etc.
Is there any ready software to do this ? Or your recommendations ?
Check out OpenALPR (http://www.openalpr.com). It is free and open source and is very fast and accurate. Given an image it will recognize all the license plates and give you the text of the characters.
Since it's open source and written in C++, you should be able to integrate this with your application fairly easily.
You can look at:
How to recognize vehicle license / number plate (ANPR) from an image?
There seems to be at least a few ANPR solutions. My advice is to be prepared to buy something if you want a reliable and fully integrated solution.
Avigilon currently has a License Plate Recognition Kit. It comes with either one or two lanes. The kit is the camera in a special housing along with a software package that captures the license plates and stores them in a database. You could then search for license plates or create a watch list for specific license plates. You can read more at www.Avigilon.com.
