Every week there seems to be a new revision\u00a0of how many Internet of Things things there will. So to put an end to this\u00a0I am now\u00a0publishing\u00a0my own version which is future proof: “By 2050 the number of connected devices will be huge\u00a0™”. In any case, we all\u00a0realise\u00a0that the Internet of Things will create\u00a0a data tsunami of unimaginable size and that the opportunity\u00a0lies\u00a0in making sense of all that data,\u00a0in finding the signals in all of that noise.<\/p>\n

Today IBM announces\u00a0the creation of a\u00a0new global headquarters for Watson IoT in Munich where\u00a0one thousand data scientists, researchers and programmers will work in this domain. Yes indeed, the name is Watson<\/span> IoT. Watson is course of Jeopardy fame but in the mean time it (he?) has evolved into a cognitive computing solution with deep knowledge in many industries.\u00a0The only way to take advantage of all the sensor data will be with a system that can learn and reason on a massive scale while presenting an easy, natural way for humans to interact with it.<\/p>\n

We are also adding new Watson APIs onto the IoT Foundation platform<\/a>. The coolest thing about these services is that they are easy to use while\u00a0under\u00a0the covers\u00a0they are highly complex. No need to be a data scientist or mathematician, just send the request and take the response. \u00a0I don’t have the details yet but the new services will allow you to build applications that<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. interact with the system in human language.\u00a0Using\u00a0natural language processing to help understand the intent<\/span>\u00a0of human language by linking\u00a0it to\u00a0other sources of data to put it into context in specific situations.<\/li>\n
  2. look at data coming from devices, sensors and other sources to understand what is ‘normal’, what is a deviation and what is the trend in order to propose actions when necessary.<\/li>\n
  3. find correlations and anomalies in video feeds and image snapshots\u00a0to identify scenes and patterns.<\/li>\n
  4. discover\u00a0potential issues in a certain domains by reading maintenance logs, blog comments, etc. using text analytics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here is the video of the announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n
