Like Airbnb, but for algorithms?

Uh, so is this going to be able to host the massive database used to store the training data/model for some really large deep neural network or latent variable model? Because it seems that's most of what the "algorithms" on this service would be - just some application of machine learning.

No one is going to call this in order to run something like depth first search.

We do have a full data api for storing those models if that's what you want to do. We also help you train them , collect the data ,etc.

You can check out our blog at blog.Algorithmia.com for some examples.

Your platform is definitely interesting,and there's a lot of value locked in academic algorithms , but isn't the fact that most academics haven't offered algorithms via the cloud(it's not terribly complicated), hint to some other barriers ? And how do you plan to remove those barriers ?
