IBM has the ability to read and learn the AI Watson put into use

IBM announced today that its Watson system was put into use and began to serve some scientists to speed up research progress. IBM's newest AI can read literature, understand chemical reactions and data graphs.

Watson is a supercomputer, composed of 90 IBM Power 7 servers in parallel. Is it (or should it be) compared to the AI of Google and Microsoft? From the hardware chip architecture, we begin to simulate human neurons. Based on IBM's "DEEPQA" technology development, it can listen to human problems, find answers in voluminous data and answer in natural language.

We have seen the power of Watson three years ago. He made his debut in the American quiz show "The Brink of Danger" (Jeopardy), defeating two human-knowledge champions. IBM began building a cloud service based on Watson in 2013, opening up Watson's ability to learn literature, and then investing 1 billion of dollars to set up a new department. Watson, now in operation, has been able to provide services to intelligent end users through developers.

Watson, who has just been put into operation, is mainly used in medicine. According to Reuters, Dr. Olivier Lichtarge, a molecular biologist, analyzed the protein structure of 7,000 documents in the Watson system. Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company, is also using Watson to find alternatives to drugs. J&j needs to teach Watson to understand some of the words in the medical literature before he launches his work.

17 years ago, "Deep Blue" defeated the chess champion Garry Kasparov relied on the "enumeration" of the ability, now Watson is a hungry learner. "You're not running Watson, you're working with it," IBM said in a promotional film. Watson and you will learn faster.
