IBM opens up supercomputer Watson to ordinary developers

Reading] IBM announced plans to open Watson to developers in 2014, allowing programmers to write their apps on the supercomputer's database through open platforms and APIs. Tencent Digital Message (compiled: Jones Rice) IBM's supercomputer Watson can be said to have taken an important step towards public use. Today, IBM announced plans to open Watson to developers in 2014, allowing programmers to write their apps on the supercomputer's database through open platforms and APIs. While this is not the first time the program is open to the outside world, the new platform will allow developers to take full control of the front end, while IBM's Watson team can do it with just a little code input. IBM says the API will be different from the past, and it becomes surprisingly simple, and developers can access the natural language of Watson directly through the program and link to the corresponding answer in the Watson database. Now, the question left to the world is how the supercomputer will be used by the public. "We believe that this is important for the future development of computers, and we want everyone to be in it," he said. "said Rob High, IBM's chief technology officer. "We hope that other partners will have a deeper understanding of how to perceive the development of computers," he said. "There are currently three partners joining the program, including fluid retail, which plans to add Watson's powerful personal shopping feature to a Web store in North Face in 2014."
