Amazon macaw parrot photo
These macaw parrots are indigenous to the Amazon Rainforest. This is the Instagram photo post version (and associated comments on the photo). This was the feature photo in our longer blog post on how the Internet of Things can potentially help in the against illegal mining in the Amazon rainforest.

We’ve been a fan of IBM’s Watson semantic meaning analytics system since IBM first announced they were opening up their ecosystem. Around the time of CES we pointed out that the explosion of data from Internet of Things devices meant semantic processing made more sense than just writing more specialized apps. [Update June 2015: Check out our more recent post on Watson, which includes a selection of Ted Talks on Watson. This also talks about Watson’ use of distance matrices in statistical inference, and how this relates to our CEO’s own peer-reviewed academic research in that area. These internal metrics, whether automatically selected or manually defined, are likely to impact all similar systems. It would seem to be key technical factor in the cost and success of any new semantic data implementation.] There’s one small problem with developing IBM Watson cloud apps currently: access to the platform is currently still limited to a few partner companies, and IBM has not yet publicly announced pricing.… Read the restReviews of our app, or working more with governments on air quality
It’s probably time to talk about our iOS mobile app again. Our recent articles on IBM Watson analytics and Google Glass generated a lot of interest with people contacting us privately to ask for advice on various start-up projects their working on. (Some more dubious then others — we’re going to an article talking generally about some of the worst mistakes we’re seeing on the start-up scene, so that readers can avoid them.) One comment we’re been getting is that we should doing more to get governments involved with our air quality app. So we decided to put some of the app reviewers from iOS on this blog (finally). The final commenter quoted below says he is a former environmental journalist, and points out that with our app you can monitor your own air quality, independent of government! He suspects not all governments will like this. We have a little anecdotal evidence he’s right.… Read the restWatson from IBM: Why semantic text tech helps analytics
IBM Watson: dramatic potential or nothing new? There is a new type of software technology from IBM and others that has the potential to dramatically change how we work. In particular, certain types of workplace drudgery may be eliminated. The key is intelligent processing of unstructured text. You might remember IBM’s Watson technology from a few year’s back. It’s a natural language Q&A system named after IBM’s founder (pictured). (We’re guessing it’s also an allusion to the Sherlock Holmes character.) As a publicity stunt, IBM had Watson beat the reigning Jeopardy! champion. At least based on the material on IBM’s website it still isn’t too clearly technically what IBM is. There are other impressive systems for searching and processing unstructured text and answering human-language questions. (We’ll talk about them in a bit.) Aside from some glossy marketing materials, IBM seems coy about why Watson is better or cheaper than the competition.… Read the restRecent Posts
