IBM Watson: the AI changing the worlds of science and tech

Minimalist · Jan 8, 2017

This week, an insurance firm in Japan replaced more than 30 employees with an artificial intelligence system. Based on IBM Watson Explorer, the cognitive technology that processes and understands information and data, the new system will increase productivity by 30 per cent said Fukoku Mutual Life Insurance, and will give the firm a return on its investment in less than two years.

IBM's Watson AI used to develop multi-face tracking algorithm

https://www.theinquirer.net/inquire...used-to-develop-multi-face-tracking-algorithm

BIG BLUE IBM has used its Watson artificial intelligence (AI) tech to develop a new algorithm for multi-face tracking.

The system uses AI to track multiple individuals across scenes, despite changing camera angles, lighting, and appearances.
The system is also able to recognise if people leave and then re-enter the video, even if they look very different.

To create this innovation in AI, Lin explained that the team first made 'tracklets' for the people present in the source material.
The algorithm and its performance are described in more detail in IBM's CVPR research paper, A Prior-Less Method for Multi-Face Tracking in Unconstrained Videos.

NIST Teams Up with IBM’s Watson to Rate How Dangerous Computer Bugs Are
November 2, 2018
https://www.nextgov.com/cybersecuri...-rate-how-dangerous-computer-bugs-are/152545/

The AI system, which will replace the work of numerous human analysts, should be assigning risk scores to most publicly reported computer bugs by October 2019, Matthew Scholl, chief of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s computer security division, said.

The Watson system is great at assigning scores for vulnerabilities where there’s a long paper trail of human-assigned scores for highly similar vulnerabilities.
[...] releases a confidence percentage for each CVSS score and if that confidence percentage is beneath the high 90s, a human analyst will review and edit the results, Scholl said.

Right now, the Watson system is only being used as an in-house experiment. NIST’s goal is to use it for most public CVSS scores later this year.

IBM opens Watson AI to public and private clouds
February 12, 2019
https://venturebeat.com/2019/02/12/ibm-opens-watson-ai-to-public-and-private-clouds/

IBM’s Watson artificial intelligence systems can now be used on Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Microsoft’s Azure, and other cloud providers through an integration with IBM Cloud Private for Data. The approach can also be used to bring Watson to private clouds or on-premise servers.

The move was made, IBM Data and AI Group general manager Rob Thomas told VentureBeat in a phone interview, to help organizations save money and time and apply AI wherever they store their data.
