I don't see why it'd be harder with good features, and after looking at the article again, 35% accuracy was considered a success. Obviously, I'm not as qualified as you in this sense, but it seems logical based on results I've seen (again, admittedly not the same quality as you've probably seen).

I checked on the "obviously, I'm not as qualified as you in this sense" by looking at the user info, and I remembered that "Ideas to monetize new artifical intelligence" thread... so Marcus, sorry if it's offtopic, but how did you solve that problem? Are you doing captchas maybe? :)

In a way I understand trying to apply the algorithm manually for each client is wasteful, negotiation with each client is tiring especially when its with a 7B company.

I'm thinking about using the idea I got of building a web-service around it, and letting people find their own uses for it.

Considering applying to YC with the idea.
