Could you answer how do mirrors merge with augmented reality?

How do apps, like CRADLE, are transitioning cancer detection process?

It is simply because of data-driven artificial intelligence. The data are everywhere, taking every industry, every domain by storm. The devices are turned sensible, such as Home and Echo, so that they can handle what you command smartly. Google Duplex, for example, can make a call, fix an appointment and hence, create a lead on your behalf. In short, they are introducing convenience.

Simultaneously, those sensible devices have data repositories at the background. You can access the real time data in their integrated CRM to analyze and foresee the future. Although that data decay in a short span, yet you have a ton of opportunities to pull out the breakthroughs in the meantime.

Some websites, such as Google.com and Makemytrip.com, have wisely used that data. They not only extract data from their own CRM, but also from other websites. It is what the APIs make possible.

APIs & Their Role/Importance Explained

Let’s get through what Wikipedia has in the context of its definition.

“An application programming interface (API) is an interface or communication protocol between a client and a server intended to simplify the building of client-side software. It has been described as a “contract” between the client and the server, such that if the client makes a request in a specific format, it will always get a response in a specific format or initiate a defined action.”

A short for Application Programing Interface, the APIs create connectivity among websites. We plug into the internet for the instant connectivity to place order or search for the information or make a post published.

But, how do we connect?

This is what APIs do. They create a loop of connections over the web so that no friction can interfere with our smooth cross-web connections. Think about Amazon, let’s say, that offers domino’s pizza. Echoing strange, isn’t it?

How can two websites, which are poles apart, connect seamlessly? How do people place an order successfully for domino’s cheese-burst pizza on Amazon, rather than visiting dominos.com?

It is the API, working behind the scene. The API of one website asks the system of another website to access their data. Upon getting that permission, the web developer runs a script to scrape the data. This is what data mining companies feed upon. Even, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) uses it for training their models over and over.

APIs in Artificial Intelligence

Application Programming Interfaces satisfy the appetite for meaningful data in a wink. Interestingly, the AI requires it for sensing and responding to anything, such as booking hotel room or a flight or a movie ticket or recognizing an image/ sound.

Machine Learning

Apart from these software and hardware deals, there are algorithms that assist your system to get “Trained”. They run over and over unless it gets the “Correct Answer/Result” corresponding to the function. This is what the machine learning is.

Deep Learning

The AI’s neural network, wherein you store data into bits and pieces for running it in a loop, works like a human brain that understands the situation and supplies the response accordingly. The process of thoroughly understanding AI is deep learning.

Teach

The data scientist teaches algorithms through various techniques, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforced learning.

Data

With the data in place, the artificial intelligence has life. Simply put, the information in any form is the lifeblood of machine intelligence. It provides any system the algorithms to process and run unless it achieves intelligence.

In the nutshell, the application programming interfaces ensure connectivity with other web resources to capture data for mining. The end product of data mining called model trains algorithms to think and recognise instinctively.
