AYLIEN vs Azure Machine Learning

AYLIEN vs Azure Machine Learning: What are the differences?

AYLIEN: Text Analysis API package consisting of eight different Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval and Machine Learning APIs. At the top of each mountain of data lies a nugget of invaluable knowledge, but it takes an incredibly powerful tool to bring that mountain to its knees. That's precisely what our Text Analysis API does; Azure Machine Learning: A fully-managed cloud service for predictive analytics. Azure Machine Learning is a fully-managed cloud service that enables data scientists and developers to efficiently embed predictive analytics into their applications, helping organizations use massive data sets and bring all the benefits of the cloud to machine learning.

AYLIEN can be classified as a tool in the "NLP / Sentiment Analysis" category, while Azure Machine Learning is grouped under "Machine Learning as a Service".

Some of the features offered by AYLIEN are:

• The first step in understanding a document is to strip it of unnecessary elements. Article Extraction strips HTML documents of ads, navigation elements, and anything that gets in the way of understanding the text.
• Why use 100 words when 10 will do? Summarization extracts key sentences from a text, leaving only the most important concepts.
• Because a text includes more than just concepts, Entity Extraction lists organizations, phone numbers, currency amounts, even individuals mentioned in a text.

On the other hand, Azure Machine Learning provides the following key features:

• Designed for new and experienced users
• Proven algorithms from MS Research, Xbox and Bing
• First class support for the open source language R
