IBM Accelerates Data Optimization with New Watson Discovery CapabilitiesLAS VEGAS, March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM InterConnect - IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced new and expanded capabilities that enhance IBM Watson's data analysis and discovery capabilities on the IBM Cloud. By expanding Watson Discovery Service with new functionality and introducing Watson Company Profiler, an experimental platform solution built with Watson Discovery, IBM is further empowering developers and enterprise users with best-in-class offerings to quickly and easily source insights from massive amounts of data. IBM Enriches Watson Discovery Service with New Beta Functionality Today, developers go through many cumbersome steps to create solutions that can extract insights from unstructured data, often requiring developers to integrate multiple services to achieve the desired result. The Watson Discovery Service packages core Watson AI capabilities with simple tooling and APIs that enable developers to quickly upload, enrich, and index large collections of your private data and use this with NLP-enriched public data provided out of the box with Watson Discovery. "To date, we've only explored a tiny fraction of the world's existing data. Watson represents a new partnership between technology and people, to revolutionize the way we discover things and make better decisions – all at incredible speed and scale," said Beth Smith, general manager, IBM Watson AI. "With the advanced discovery capabilities of the Watson platform, IBM is shining a light on dark data by unlocking patterns, trends, and relationships in data that were previously invisible." With the newest beta capabilities, developers can improve end user experience by displaying answers that are within passages without any additional configuration or special processing. Additionally, developers can take advantage of the relevancy training module to further customize responses using a machine learning model. Using the full power of the Watson Discovery Service, industry professionals are able to do the following:
"Our company's fundamental value is in using Artificial Intelligence to enable brands to make smarter, faster decisions with their online marketing," said Randy Wootton, CEO, Rocket Fuel. "Given the exponential rate of digital information being generated and consumed, it's increasingly challenging for marketers to keep track of their digital presence and identify where and when to place ads for maximum impact. That's why Watson Discovery Service is such a game-changer for our clients. Rocket Fuel's Predictive Marketing Platform is now responsive, in real-time, to sentiment in breaking news headlines. Rocket Fuel clients can use Watson Discovery Service to control their association with specific keywords and optimize media spend automatically based on the positive or negative sentiment impact. This means better performance, improved brand safety, and deeper intelligence for our business." IBM Introduces Experimental Solution, "Watson Company Profiler" To better understand how Watson Company Profiler will be used, consider the job of a financial services leader looking to strengthen her/his company's capabilities. This person will use Watson Company Profiler to acquire market intelligence needed to better understand competitive landscape, product positioning and potentially to identify new targets for a merger or acquisition.
