I am a Masters student in Artificial Intelligence at University of Edinburgh, graduating this Summer. I'm about to start my dissertation on algorithmic music composition using neural networks (LSTM to be precise). I also run my own side project, https://calloud.com
I am looking for interesting opportunities/projects that need versatile people with Machine Learning skills, or for Data Science work.
I'm doing it because I'm a big fan of tools like Olark or Zopim which are essentially the same but for live written communication (chat). Because some people prefer talking rather than typing, I'm selling a live voice communication alternative so websites can tailor to this preference as well.
Profits realized from a very long term Bitcoin investment: 10000$
Bitcoin miner: 600$ (profits) so far.
Now I'm covering the costs of running my own SaaS [1] with these profits to create a more sustainable business (I've lost confidence in Bitcoin from an investment standpoint). At this moment my SaaS has 2 trial users but no paying customers.
A better option might be retrieving tweets from the Firehose Streaming API, but one would need a massive backend to handle it. Additionally, access has to be requested to Twitter and it's very rarely granted. Alternatively, Datasift or Gnip can be better sources for the firehose, but I think they only provide a fraction (like 1/10) of the real amount of tweets that go through the actual firehose.
