Extracting value from ‘Data Exhaust’


Ever been taken for ‘a ride’ in a taxi?

I challenged the first night’s fare

Uber refunded the difference

Monday Night Tuesday Night


open data

Data that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed by anyone -subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and share alike.

Smart city

A smart city gathers data from smart devices and sensors embedded in its roadways, power grids, buildings, waterways, anything that can be sensed. To deliver improved health, more efficient infrastructure systems, cleaner environments, and safer and more inclusive societies.


Common challenges facing civic leaders

Thriving vital economy

Productivity

Livability

Inclusive society

Living wages for families


Putting Sensors to work in your city


Smarter Cities Operations Centers – putting Data to Work


When you think about what a doctor does every day:

they gather evidence about a patient

they form a set of hypotheses (possible diagnoses)

they make a diagnosis and recommend a treatment

Can we improve their degree of confidence in the diagnosis and chosen treatment with Cognitive?


Provides evidence-based suggestions to

support oncologists’ decisions by:

Combining patient data with massivevolumes of medical literature, including journal articles, physicians’ notes, and NCCN guidelines and best practices

Ongoing learning from new oncology

techniques, treatments, and evidence

AUSTIN, Texas Students from The University of Texas at Austin won $100,000 in seed funding for developing an idea for a smart phone app that would use artificial intelligence to help Texas residents get information about health care, food assistance and other social services in partnership with the United Way for Greater Austin's 2-1-1 Navigation Center.


What toy should I buy a 3 year old for X-mas?

Watson intelligently analyzed millions of conversations across social networks, blogs, forums, comments, ratings, and reviews and suggested LeapPad.
