Abstract
Diversity in machine learning APIs (in both software toolkits and web services), works against
realising machine learning’s full potential, making it difficult to draw on individual algorithms
from different products or to compose multiple algorithms to solve complex tasks. This paper
introduces the Protocols and Structures for Inference (PSI) service architecture and specification,
which presents inferential entities - relations, attributes, learners and predictors - as RESTful
web resources that are accessible via a common but flexible and extensible interface. Resources
describe the data they ingest or emit using a variant of the JSON schema language, and the API
has mechanisms to support non-JSON data and future extension of service features.
