Watson is the first commercially available cognitive computing capability, representing a new era in computing. Watson analyzes high volumes of data and processes information more like a human than a computer—by understanding natural language, generating hypotheses based on evidence, and learning as it goes.
The IBM Watson Ecosystem is a growing community of new and established businesses tapping into more than 30 Watson APIs to bring cognitive enabled apps, products and services to market. There are more than 500 ecosystem partners spanning 17 industries and disciplines, joining the more than 80,000 developers globally that are tapping into the APIs via the Watson Developer Cloud on Bluemix to pilot, test and deploy new business ideas.
IBM Research has defined the future of information technology for the past 70 years with more than 3,000 researchers in 12 labs located across six continents. Scientists from IBM Research have produced six Nobel Laureates, 10 U.S. National Medals of Technology, five U.S. National Medals of Science, six Turing Awards, 19 inductees in the National Academy of Sciences and 20 inductees into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
IBM Research’s Cognitive Composer is a cognitive computing engine that listens to, and composes unique musical scores. Engineers built the app to listen to original music and musical genres, and through machine learning algorithms, the system can generate a completely new score for their own composition.
