IBM’s Watson upgrades highlight machine learning and cloud | #ibminsight

Two of IBM’s major announcements at IBM Insight 2014 have their roots in Watson’s cognitive computing capabilities. Starting with the Data Works product, IBM provides a “cloud-based, data refinement capability” that uses Watson to find and shape information, said Inhi Cho Suh, VP and GM of Big Data, Integration, and Governance at IBM. The new Watson Curator uses cognitive solutions and applications to curate unstructured content.
Another of IBM’s big announcements was dashDB, which is also integrated with its Cloudant services (IBM’s Database-as-a-Service offering), and allows users to create data warehouses, among other capabilities. Each of these new products is available via a subscription from IBM Bluemix or via a freemium model, Suh detailed.
These announcements are indicative of the direction in which the IBM organization trying to move. By focusing on cloud, data, and engagement, IBM is attempting to “redefine the way to engage” with customers, said Suh. Whether it’s handling new types of data, like Twitter, enterprise data, or achieving “real-time context,” Suh explained that the goal is to provide businesses with the ability to achieve a much more proactive, predictive engagement with customers.
