Steins;Gate Series
Anime to the Rescue 🙀😹🙉

What’s in store for 21st century technology? Can you even begin to imagine it? To shed some light, IBM Japan joined forces with Steins;Gate—a four-part Japanese anime series that follows a crew of quirky time-traveling teenagers who utilize sci-fi cognitive computing devices to get out of everyday troubles. Warning, these guys are out there…in an endearing way of course. One character even carries around apricot puree in case he “finds a girlfriend and she wants to cook something.” Don’t ask, just watch →

Watson at your service

“One moment, please.” “We’ll be with you shortly.” “You are eighth in the queue.” Sound all too familiar? Maybe not for long—The Watson Engagement Advisor can listen to customer queries, suggest personalized follow up questions and help operators find answers in a flash. For even faster service, callers can interact directly with Watson itself. Could this also mean an end to the need for mind-numbing “hold music?” (One can only hope.)

Anyone who’s searched the Internet knows that computers can have a tough time understanding the meaning of our words. Now IBM Watson is bridging the gap between language arts and computer science. It acts like a built-in human interpreter for computers, translating the meaning of our words into the right 1’s and 0’s. And the more Watson reads, the more fluent it gets.

“Watson is the beginning of a new era of computing, changing the human-machine relationship. With its ability to consume the ever growing ocean of unstructured data, it opens the door for organizations to build an entirely new class of business solutions that were once labeled as extremely complex or even fantasy.”
