Is there any announcement about when Google will launch continuous prediction. Currently is there any trick to predict stock prices using Google's prediction API?
A:
They announced continuous output for v1.1 today, along with the much requested multiple category output:
training data submitted with only numbers to v1.1 in the leftmost column will be treated as a continuous output problem (unlike v1)
...
numerical values in the leftmost column of all rows will automatically return regression values. if you intend to do classification, we recommend encasing those values within double quotes. For example, 5 indicates a regression value of 5 while "5" indicates a category labeled "5."
I believe economic forecasting of sorts has been suggested on the [prediction-api](https://groups.google.com/group/prediction-api-discuss) discussion group, but if folks have implemented it, they've remained reticent.
