Now people do not need to ask, the use of large data threshold has been reduced

      2011, IBM developed the Watson computer in the famous puzzle program jeopardy! Defeated many human opponents and won the championship. Since then, there has been a spate of news about the legendary computer, especially at the end of 2013, when IBM announced the opening of Watson's API and provided free tools to developers to invoke Watson's natural language query engine. Opening up to the vast majority of developers is just one step toward the mainstream of Watson. Recently, IBM released Watson Analytics, a combination of Watson and IBM's large data analysis, cloud computing platform, for free to all the ordinary people who needed data analysis tools.        The New York Times believes that Watson Analytics can be compared with the PC-era spreadsheet (ToolStrip) and the mobile computing age of the IPhone, as a data analysis tool Watson Analytics, like spreadsheets and iphones, has a vital role to play in popularizing large data applications. "It's important to develop a technology, but it's also important to popularize it." The latter requires (companies) to find innovative points of access to the general public life, with practical and usability as the selling point, a wide range of promotion. "IBM's Watson Analytics uses the Freemium model, and everyone can try this data analysis product by visiting the company's cloud computing platform."        TechCrunch's article points out that Watson Analytics solves the threshold problem in the practical application of large data. A company does not need to hire data scientists, and does not need to purchase expensive data analysis equipment, will need to analyze the data into Watson Analytics, with Watson's natural language technology, just ask a few questions, you can complete the day-to-day data analysis work. "IBM cannot pretend that the world is the same, and the world is changing at any time," said Eric Sall, global vice president of Business Analytics. "Indeed, a new generation of business intelligence analysts is rising rapidly, with a number of challenges for IBM, such as Tableau Software."        Business Analytics is one of the most promising businesses that IBM has invested in billions of of dollars in this area, with Business Analytics expected to generate 20 billion of billions of dollars of business in next year's revenue. Last year, the growth rate of this part of the business was 9%.Watson Analytics is still in beta testing and is expected to open by the end of the year. As a cloud service, Watson Analytics will run on tablets, smartphones and PCs/laptops, but there is not yet a proprietary app available to download.
