Networks and agents Network (NaN)
http://cnets.indiana.edu/groups/nan/

NaN is a research group exploring complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. They especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which they leave abundant traces of their social and semantic activities: what they do, what they are interested in, whom they talk to, what knowledge they acquire and contribute. Their research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on). They have ongoing collaborations with colleagues at the ISI Foundation, Yahoo Labs, and MoBS Lab. This will be added to Bot Research Subject Tracer™.

Motion AI – Artificial Intelligence Made Easy
http://motion.ai/

Motion AI is an end-to-end solution for building, deploying and supporting AI robots. While there are many developer-oriented AI services out there, they tend to focus on one area of AI. They support every layer of the process, including: a) Telecommunications (providing you the gateway for SMS, email, etc); b) Natural Language Processing; c) Deep Learning for “on the job” AI training; d) Conversation flow design; e) Callbacks and hooks to your endpoints; f) Analytics; and g) 3rd party integration points (like Stripe, for accepting payments through AI). Without Motion AI, a team would have to integrate with dozens of separate services just to get started. It’s not typically cost-effective or reasonable for a non-AI company to integrate with AI in the current landscape, and they want to help change that.
