Watson: Large data, human-computer interaction and mobile app

March 28 News, according to foreign media reports, today, including corporate customers, many types of consumers want mobile applications to further enhance the level of intelligence, so that it can provide users with personalized customized services anytime, anywhere. To achieve this, mobile devices must be combined with highly cognitive computer systems, and IBM is at the forefront of the market. At the 2014 Mobile World Congress, held in Barcelona, Spain, in February this year, IBM announced a new mobile app developer contest designed to boost innovation for its computer system Watson. At the same time, it also demonstrated the great role that Watson and mobile apps had in the perfect combination of each other. Some analysts point out that IBM's computer system Watson represents new services, software, and applications that can be analyzed and improved through learning, and can also find answers to the problems that the problem can really solve from a large number of data sources. There is an external media to IBM's Watson's "ability" to carry out an inventory, the following is the article passage:

Big data becomes Watson's "food source"

With the development of mobile technology, the global large data in the use and demand of the growing trend of faster, these large data itself has a large number of high-speed transmission and a variety of characteristics. Most of the big data is in the form of videos, pictures, icons, and natural languages, and this is one of Watson's most commendable skills for some customers who need a new computing model to capture the precise information they need in large data.

The necessity of cognitive computing system

For those organizations based on data to work out the corresponding problem solutions, they need highly cognitive computing systems to help them find the information they need within a few seconds. Watson's own abilities are well suited to these tasks.

A new phase of smart mobile applications

When Watson and mobile applications are combined, a new intelligent mobile application is born. This application enables the transformation of industry experience and expertise to provide users with the best solution to the problem.

Watson Biosphere

IBM is now working with entrepreneurs and application developers to develop a complete biosphere for applications that are suitable for Watson's computational intelligence technology. Some IBM partners have even started to develop mobile apps that use Watson technology, and one company, Welltok, is developing a mobile application that can design intelligent health travel routes for users, The program uses Watson's technology to enable users to monitor their health status in real time during travel.

Watson Mobile Developer Challenge Event

To spark more innovative ideas, IBM has launched an event called the Watson Mobile Developer Challenge. This activity is designed to motivate application developers and business owners to leverage Watsonapis capabilities to develop complex cognitive computing applications. Analysts say the actions mark a new era in mobile cognitive computing for the industry as a whole.

Watson design Consulting and support

In the next three months, the Watson Mobile Developer Global Challenge will invite developers and business owners of mobile applications to share ideas about developing mobile applications based on Watson technology. The competition will eventually result in the three winners who will be recruited into IBM's Watson eco-circle project. In addition, the winners are able to listen to suggestions and strategies from IBM in-house experts on mobile app developers.

Changing the interaction between users and mobile devices

Today people can take care of their lives through apps on mobile devices. Watson mobile developers Global Challenge will encourage application developers around the world to develop mobile applications that can change the way people interact with mobile devices.

Finding ways to develop mobile apps from past experience

The combination of cognitive computing power with mobile applications enables the data to bring wealth to the enterprise, and the enterprise through the knowledge and experience learned from past experience to develop appropriate mobile application, improve the human-computer interaction experience and solve the problem based on large data.
