Not The Ordinary Office League🏈

After a hard day’s work, nothing feels better than relaxing. But if you’re like these IBMers in Japan, when the work day is over, practice is just beginning. They’re the employee-players of IBM Big Blue, a football team equipped with cheerleaders, a professional stadium and a nationally televised audience. It all started in 1976, when a handful of new IBM Japan employees gathered together and decided to start a team.  By 2001, they not only had an undefeated record, but also reached the top division. Makes us wonder about the job interview, So you have 50 patents, but how’s your 50-yard pass?”

Learning 日本語

Spanish. Check. Portuguese. Check. Japanese? You got it. Cognitive polyglot IBM Watson is now taking on one of the ultimate linguistic challenges by adding Japanese to its repertoire. IBM and Tokyo-based SoftBank are teaching Watson to get a grasp of the thousands of kanji, 46 katakana and 46 hiragana characters, not to mention the almost endless contextual nuances Japanese presents. Once fluent, Watson will be able to understand, speak and think in Japanese, so it can analyze questions in the country’s mother tongue.
