open semantic meaning platforms: alternatives to IBM Watson?
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 restHome Automation and the Internet of Things; answers to readers comments
CES blog posts Our CES reports on new robotic vacuum cleaners, smart refrigerators, and environment-sensing scales were some of our most popular posts with our readers, as was our coverage of Cisco’s talks on the Internet of Things. There’ll probably be a few more CES reports to share. In future posts, we’re going to cover some of the new home automation gadgets coming out that will make the Internet of Things a reality. Trouble is, too many existing appliances weren’t designed to network. Let’s say you wanted to use our app to decide when to turn your gas dryer, fireplace, or furnace on or off based on airborne combustion levels. That’s hard to do right now. Home Automation and the Internet of Things But a number of small startups are tackling this problem with innovative gadgets that interact with legacy electric appliances like washing machines and dryers. Some feature cameras, optical sensors, outlet switches, and mechanical activators together with a WiFi connection and logic that’s designed to make it easier to let the dryer signal you (over the Internet) when it’s done or even let you control the dryer from a website.… Read the restRecent Posts
