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
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 Accumulate data and derive insight at every interaction, perpetually
Watson solutions can enable value along the entire electronics ecosystem

System understanding of context is a precondition for the Smart Home vision
Contextual intelligenceMaking appliances understand what a person or other appliances in the household are doing for making the user aware of the overall environment or smooth the working process across various devices. An intelligent / smart appliance thus is understanding related events that serve a specific consumer purpose and are part of 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
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 the health and fitness; provide transparency with regards to food and nutrients, suggest and motivate ways to improve your health, guide you through the food processing to indulge in new and more healthy foods
Freedom-of-choice & data security, deep data encryption for those data that the consumer chooses to share; reliable security and emergency services based on monitoring the property as well as pattern, sound and speech recognition in elderly, kid and pet care
Unified way to manage and adjust the various appliances in your home, consumption- and condition-based replinishments of supplies; context analysis, robotic-supported tasks and remote device condition monitoring and updating
Usage-pattern based adjustment of heating, light control, window controls, appliances, etc. to optimize wellbeing and energy consumption; gatekeeper for managing home-related costs such as insurances based on weather forecasts, appliance operating in line with low energy prices
Consciousness Trends that can be aligned to consumer segments (male/female, age groups, regions etc.) like green / small footprint, waste reduction recycling,
sharing and donating, fair trade or show-me in social media
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 instructions for 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
