Overall it was a good experience. Our attrition (already low) didn't increase, we kept our office and most of our culture, we grew the team and increased our sales many folds. Now we are part of Watson which is pretty exciting. Obvious

Yes you are getting old. Just observe a kid using an ipad and you'll understand how useful it can be. My 5 year old is able to find pretty much anything she wants (like videos of play doh of frozen characters) through voice search.

The top 3 classes in your example are actually correct - it is a color photo of a human. But we expect it to get much better over time. Only real world usage will allow us to make real improvement - and that's why we are eager to relea

Given that our strategy is to expose most Watson technology as cloud services we will keep updating the hardware underneath in a way that seamless to the user. We try to leverage the Power architecture as much as possible.

We'd love to do an automated AMA. We are not yet there but if the community provided some training data I believe it's within reach. Give us a couple of years!

Smartphone microphones are much better than laptop microphones and pretty much on par with using headsets on a laptop - they represent our primary use case.

Pretty much all the services that we are releasing will have some adaptation capabilities - allowing you to provide your own data, create your own models, etc - at some point. Stay posted.

Some context on the new services. They are built on technology that comes from IBM Research and has been moved into the Watson group in 2014. Some like speech, have been developed for more than 50 years. None of these technologies have over

So does that mean we can finally stop listening to Cringely altogether? I am an IBM employee and I can tell you a lot of my fellow IBMers had a really bad week-end because of his ridiculous claims. For context see previous discussion on the

Not sure where you get your info. IBM acquired my 150 people company 3 years ago. They haven't lost a customer and have increased revenue 4x in that timeframe. In their quarterly report they also highlight performance of all their acqu

IBM employee here. I have no idea if the cuts are true or not but keep in mind that Cringely has made dooms day predictions in the past that were widely innacurate, see for example: http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit&#x

Every time an AI system beats a human at a task that was previously thought hard (chess, jeopardy, face recognition, etc) many people immediately dismiss it as not reflecting real intelligence any longer.

For CH we get 19.1% for a combined rate of 14.75% - this is using 300 hours of training data.

The team is already working on seeing what we get with CH. We'll let you know where we land. But your results are definitely impressive. We love to see new published innovation in the field. Kudos to the team!

To put it in perspective, my team in IBM Watson has already published better numbers (10.4% WER vs 13.1% WER for Baidu) on the SWB dataset. We haven't run our model on the CH part so we can't compare on the full test set. Paper he
