AI Explained

Where can Artificial Intelligence be applied?

Artificial Intelligence is not usually deployed as you might think – a Deep Thought supercomputer that knows all. It is most commonly built by joining a number of tools together, and ‘training’ them to deliver custom functionality against a set of business problems. The difference with AI is that, unlike traditional business systems, it will continue to learn based on experience and feedback (a term called machine learning). Here are 3 examples where AI tools can be applied to your business problem:

pulse-complete.svgPersonality Insights

Predict personality characteristics, needs and values from written text e.g. claims, surveys, emails, blogs, etc. Understand your customers’ position and preferences on an individual level, and at scale. Extract and analyse a spectrum of personality attributes to give you insights into people and entities. Then guide the user through highly personalised interactions based on those insights.

Image Recognition

Given the increasing amount of visual communication, the ability to understand and react to such data is now vital. Machines can be trained to recognise specific image content, for a specific purpose. Use drones to diagnose faults in overhead cables, identify skin cancer, recognise parched pastures and even understand fashion trends. The use cases are limitless and scale from pre-taught APIs to bespoke industry solutions.

Tone Analysis

Analyse tones in what people tweet, post online or say in a customer service call. Predict whether they are happy, sad, confident, and more. Monitor customer service and support conversations so you can respond to your customers appropriately and at scale. See if customers are satisfied or frustrated, and if agents are polite and sympathetic. Enable your chatbot to detect customer tones so you can build dialog strategies to adjust the conversation accordingly.

Where could you go with Watson?

Watson APIs form the building blocks of a Cognitive Solution. Easily build out a proof of concept, then incorporate and customise these APIs into your website, mobile apps, and front and back office systems.

 

Conversation
Vision
Language
Knowledge

    Have fluid multi-channel conversations with customers

    Integrate diverse conversation technology into your application. Quickly build and deploy chatbots across a variety of channels, including mobile devices, messaging platforms, and even robots. Conversation features a reliable infrastructure that scales with individual use cases.

You can easily customise your Watson Virtual Agent to fit your specific business needs, provide custom content and match your business brand.

    Visual Recognition

    Visual Recognition understands the content of images. Use pre-built modules to find all faces present in an image and receive age and gender estimates for each one. Alternatively, create and train your own custom image classifiers: analyse images for shapes, objects, colours, food, and other subjects. Use those classifiers to enable search or to build new insights based on your visual content.

    Speech to Text

    Easily convert audio and voice into written text for quick understanding of content. Transcribe conversations in real-time and apply sentiment and tone analysis to help understand and react to the conversation.
