This article may meet Misplaced Pages's criteria for speedy deletion for the following reasons:
  • as an article about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organized event that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. See CSD A7.
  • because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.
The page may be deleted under any criterion that is valid. Multiple+reasons%3A+speedy+deletion+criteria+%5B%5BWP%3AA7%7CA7%5D%5D%2C+%5B%5BWP%3AG11%7CG11%5D%5DNA

AlchemyAPI is a company that uses machine learning (specifically, deep learning) to do natural language processing (specifically, semantic text analysis, including sentiment analysis) and computer vision (specifically, face detection and recognition) for its clients both over the cloud and on-premises. As of February 2014, it claims to have clients in 36 countries and process over 3 billion documents a month. ProgrammableWeb added AlchemyAPI to its API Billionaires Club in September 2011.

Technology and business model

AlchemyAPI uses technology similar to IBM's Watson computer. It gets paid per API call, and does over 3 billion API calls per month. A TechCrunch article highlights that even though the technology is similar, AlchemyAPI offers its technology in the form of software as a service (by allowing people to make API calls), making its technological capabilities more accessible to people.

History

AlchemyAPI launched in 2009.

In September 2011, ProgrammableWeb added AlchemyAPI to its API Billionaires Club, alongside giants such as Google and Facebook.

In February 2013, it was announced that AlchemyAPI had raised USD 2 million to improve the capabilities of its deep learning technology.

In September 2013, it was reported that AlchemyAPI had created a Google Glass app that could identify what a person was looking at, and that AlchemyAPI would soon be rolling out deep learning-based image recognition as a service.

In May 2014, it was reported that AlchemyAPI had released a computer vision API known as AlchemyVision, capable of recognizing objects in photographs and providing image similarity search capabilities.

In March 2015, it was announced that AlchemyAPI had been acquired by IBM and the company's breakthroughs in deep learning would accelerate IBM's development of next generation cognitive computing applications. IBM reported plans to integrate AlchemyAPI's deep learning technology into the core Watson platform

Media coverage

A February 2013 article in VentureBeat about big data named AlchemyAPI as one of the primary forces responsible for bringing natural language processing capabilities to the masses. In November 2013, GigaOm listed AlchemyAPI as one of the top startups working in deep learning, along with Cortica and Ersatz.
