What is Watson?
IBM Watson is a technology platform that uses
natural language processing and machine learning
to reveal insights from large amounts of unstructured data.

8. 8
Cognitive systems are fundamentally
different from what we have today
8
Adapt and make sense of all data; “read”
text, “see” images and “hear” natural
speech with context
Understand
Reason Interpret information, organize it and
offer explanations of what it means,
with rationale for the conclusions
Learn Accumulatedata and derive
insight at every interaction,
perpetually

9. Watson solutions can enable value along
the entire electronics ecosystem
Manufacturing
Sales
Customer Experience
Warranty and Repair
Product Development

10. The Cognitive Smart Home

11. System understanding of context is a
precondition for the Smart Home vision
Contextual intelligence
Making appliances understand whata person or other appliances in the
household are doing for making the user aware of the overall environmentor
smooth the working process across
various devices.An intelligent/smart appliance thus is understandingrelated
events that serve a specific consumer purpose and are partof a user behavior
that is analyzed for predictive activities and preventing dangerous situations.
Relevance to home appliances:
§ Disabling gas if no adult is around
§ Raise an alarm if a pan/cook pot is positioned
unsafe

12. The IBM smart home vision is centered around five key areas of life
and it’s moments
Health & Wellness
Safety & Security
Convenience & Entertainment
Energy & Cost
Continually monitor thehealthand fitness; provide
transparencywith regards to foodandnutrients, suggest and
motivate ways to improve yourhealth,guideyouthroughthe
food processingto indulgein new andmore healthy foods
Freedom-of-choice& datasecurity,deepdata encryptionfor
those data that the consumerchooses toshare;reliable

elderly, kidandpet care
Unified way tomanage andadjust thevarious appliances in your
home, consumption- and condition-basedreplinishments of

Usage-pattern basedadjustment of heating, light control,window
controls, appliances, etc.to optimize wellbeingandenergy

Consciousness
Trends that canbe aligned to consumersegments (male/female, age groups, regions etc.) like green / small footprint, waste reductionrecycling,

14. MIELE home appliances, a steam oven connected to IBM IoT Plattform, and
“Chef Watson“ and enables users to ask Chef Watson for recipe suggestions via a
mobile device. By pushing a button the MIELE oven is programmed
automatically and step-by-step instructionsfor preparing the meal are displayed
on the device.

IBM Watson
Closed, predefined for specific Q&A flow
Approach to Data- Only model that allows
clients to build own AI vs contribute their
data to a central knowledge graph.
Open- Can be configured and trained for
each client business use case.
Connected- Can be connected to external
data sources to answer specific business
questions.
Deep sensor capabilities- language,
vision and speech. Watson is unique in its
custom visual learning capabilities.
Emotional reasoning- both emotional
intelligence and intellectual intelligence
Commercial systems
Systems Comparisons

30. How can your business become
a cognitive business?
1. Design a cognitive strategy
2. Extend cognitive with analytics
3. Move to a cognitive cloud
4. Build a cognitive infrastructure
5. Adopt security for cognitive
business
