It has many skills. It\u2019s able to cook fabulous meals from ingredients that seem completely incompatible, it can diagnose diseases and conditions such as cancer and PTSD. Watson is made up of many different skills; it uses voice and speech recognition, data mining, machine learning and language processing. Watson is being used more and more and an entire ecosystem of startups and businesses is starting to form that build applications with Watson. The apps interact via natural language with humans \u2013 helping us to understand the world with the use of big data insights. Let\u2019s have a look at the latest developments.<\/p>\n<h2>How IBM Watson weather forecasts influence what we watch on Netflix<\/h2>\n<p>IBM has recently acquired the Weather Company\u2019s digital assets and it won\u2019t be long before the most famous supercomputer in the world will combine computer science, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/four-big-data-trends-that-are-revolutionizing-life-as-you-read-this\/\">big data<\/a> and atmospheric science to create improved weather insights. Watson now has access to data from forty million mobile phones, fifty thousand daily flights and three billion reference points from weather forecasts. All this information is packaged and tailored to specific industries. For instance, airlines may use historical and real-time weather data to reduce delays and optimise fuel consumption. Traders on the stock exchange may use weather data to make performance estimations of weather-sensitive companies. Insurance companies could use the supercomputer\u2019s information to calculate risk, using data from geographic locations to predict upcoming weather events. Clothing stores would greatly benefit from seasonal data in order to determine what type of stock to purchase for the season ahead. Then there\u2019s Netflix. Our choice of movies is also dependent on how we feel. And weather definitely has an influence on our moods. Netflix could therefore anticipate on which movies would be most popular. In the future, Watson may help us think of the weather completely differently. Instead of a random, chaotic phenomenon, we can see it as an asset, something that enables us to make more informed decisions.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31526 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/shutterstock-368761736.jpg\" alt=\"Office building with IBM logo\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\"><\/p>\n<h2>Watson, the medical know-it-all<\/h2>\n<p>Existing health record systems can do a great job at storing medical information but IBM\u2019s Watson can summarise that data as well as incorporate information such as doctor\u2019s notes in order to give a more comprehensive picture. In order to find a cure for leukaemia using <a href=\"https:\/\/richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/keynote\/the-future-of-healthcare\/\">Watson&#8217;s technologies<\/a>, the MD Anderson Cancer Centre of the University of Texas recently partnered with IBM. The MD Anderson\u2019s Oncology Expert Advisor\u2019s software is based on human thought processing. This makes it possible to apply medical knowledge the way previously only human doctors could. Watson is able to see images and identify problem areas on X-rays. It learns from academic literature and with the supercomputer\u2019s help, clinicians specialised in rare medical conditions are able to reach diagnoses and formulate the correct treatment for their patients. It usually takes many years to reach correct diagnoses but with Watson\u2019s knowledge, this time can be significantly shortened, improving and possibly prolonging the life of the patient.<\/p>\n<p>Using Watson\u2019s natural language and data mining talents, IBM has created the SIIP \u2013 Strategic IP Insight Platform. With this tool, millions of biomedical journals and pharmaceutical patents are scanned in order to find, analyse, and record information about drugs. It records names of pharmaceutical companies and the scientists who invented the drugs and it captures the names of their chemical compounds. Between 1976 and 2000, Watson recorded 24.7 million patents, extracted 2.5 million of their chemical compounds and captured 11 million journals. IBM applies analytics to this enormous collection of information, creating an unbelievably vast database that can help improve research and development. Watson\u2019s database gives scientists around the world unprecedented access to information which, up until recently, was extremely difficult to obtain.<\/p>\n<h2>Watson is making disruptive applications possible<\/h2>\n<p>In the so called Watson Ecosystem, IBM Watson\u2019s capabilities are available to businesses of all shapes and sizes and can assist with any kind of challenge in any kind of industry \u2013 from financial services to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/a-smart-pill-that-tells-you-if-youre-sick-the-future-of-healthcare\/\">healthcare<\/a> and from e-commerce to retail. Watson\u2019s cognitive services enable its partners to optimally anticipate on and respond to their customers\u2019 needs and make tailor made recommendations. Hundreds of companies across many different industries have already launched innovative and even disruptive \u2018powered by Watson\u2019 products. Let\u2019s take a look at some examples:<\/p>\n<h3>Ivy and Wayblazer \u2013 your friendly digital concierges<\/h3>\n<p>WayBlazer is a service powered by Watson and is much like Expedia, but on steroids. Wayblazer produces results which are based on databases built from thousands of different sources such as for instance newspapers, magazines, social media and blogs. The service enables the user to use natural language to input searches and the travel concierge type setup answers questions such as: \u201cWhat is the best guesthouse for a city trip in Barcelona?\u201d The discovery engine of the services makes use of Watson\u2019s technology and absorbs information in order to link preferences, offers and places with economic, cultural and social data generated by user recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>The GoMoment\u2019s Ivy app also makes use of Watson&#8217;s natural language APIs in order to interpret what you type. It welcomes you to your accommodation establishment via text message and tells you everything you need to know about your hotel and its surroundings. It can give you advice on theatres, restaurants and other points of interests in the area. You can ask Ivy for some snacks and towels by the pool, tickets for a musical or to recommend a great restaurant to go. Ivy also measures how satisfied you are with the accommodation provider; from check in to the service levels and any other experience you may have \u2013 which is very useful information for the hotel, guest house or bed &amp; breakfast. This handy app is already available to millions of travellers around the world.<\/p>\n<h3>Wayln \u2013 social media photo searching<\/h3>\n<p>Watson can also be of great value to marketers. WayIn is a social media photo trawler that uses Watson&#8217;s image recognition capabilities to search social media for photos. The app makes these photos searchable, even if they don\u2019t contain tags that describe their content. WayIn ingests and tags approximately 200 million images every day. These images can be filtered according to attributes such as demographics. It\u2019s easy to see that this would be impossible without IBM\u2019s Watson.<\/p>\n<h3>VoiceItt \u2013 giving the voiceless a way to make themselves heard<\/h3>\n<p>VoiceItt is a revolutionary mobile application, also powered by Watson. It translates indistinguishable speech into understandable language, enabling people with speech, motor and language disorders to use their own voice. VoiceItt is based on speech recognition technology and displays or vocalises it via the user\u2019s smartphone, tablet or computer.<\/p>\n<h3>Wine4.me helps you find the perfect wine<\/h3>\n<p>Wine4.Me is another app among the many others that are already part of the Watson\u2019s Developer Cloud. Based on a customer\u2019s preferences, it helps wine drinkers find more wines they are likely to enjoy without having to try the wines they probably don\u2019t like. It does this by using sensory science that creates unique profiles for each user. With these profiles, combined with predictive analytics, it chooses wines for a particular user. For instance, in the stores, a customer can use a touchscreen to find a dry wine that complements a meat dish and costs less than $20. The system then generates information on what is available in the store. Each customer search is recorded and provides rich data analytics for store owners.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"IBM Watson: How it Works\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Xcmh1LQB9I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>What does the future have in store for Watson?<\/h2>\n<p>Many see the future as a world of untold convenience and unparalleled marketing opportunities. We produce so much data that without artificial intelligence such as IBM Watson, we are no longer able to make sense of it. We need artificial intelligence to pinpoint patterns in heaps of information and we need it to make decisions that are no longer possible with traditional methods. We are on our way to a world where perfect data means that all we do and everything that happens is monitored, recorded and mined. In the future, with autonomous cars continuously monitoring where we are and capturing information along the way, having an accident and not knowing what happened will be a thing of the past. When we have swarms of miniature drones in the streets, constantly taking pictures, there will be nowhere to hide and things like street crime will never go unnoticed again. Watson will take us into a whole new world of convenience. We can see this from the hundreds of applications that developers have already built and will continue to build, using the supercomputer\u2019s cognitive APIs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/richardvanhooijdonk.com\/e-books\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17787\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/ebooks_en.png\" alt=\"Free e-books for 13 sectors\" width=\"760\" height=\"415\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How IBM Watson weather forecasts influence what we watch on Netflix Watson, the medical know-it-all Watson is making disruptive applications possible What does the future have in store for Watson?
