Watson Natural Language Classifier (NLC) is a text classification (aka text categorization) service that enables developers to quickly train and integrate natural language processing (NLP) capabilities into their applications. Once you have the training data, you can set up a classification model (aka a classifier) in 15 minutes or less to label text with your custom labels. In this tutorial, I will show you how to create two classifiers using publicly available Airbnb reviews data. One of the more common text classification patterns I've seen is analyzing and labeling customer reviews. Understanding unstructured customer feedback enables organizations to make informed decisions that'll improve customer experience or resolve issues faster.

The moment IBM Watson played Jeopardy on TV almost a decade ago was the time AI burst onto the scene. It was a breakthrough marketing moment. Over the last decade, IBM Watson has remained the go-to player in Artificial Intelligence as the industry grows. Every year IBM holds their Think conference where they pull together thought leaders from companies, governments, think tanks and soon. This has become the AI super-show.

See how businesses can survive and thrive using AI in Marketing and across the Organization.

As data people, we very typically spend a great deal of time summarizing our findings to stakeholders in a clear, concise and impactful way. Often times, due to the lack of infrastructure, we end up using presentation files with chart images. This can become a real pain when we need to make modifications or when the analysis needs to "live on". Typically, this is where BI (business intelligence) or dashboard tools shine. Unfortunately, this can be a major stumbling block for smaller shops who rely on a lot of local analysis and may not have the budget for a BI tool.

Workday held its European Rising conference last year. One of the key themes from the event was how it is embedding AI into its solutions. Having spoken to Chano Fernandez, Co-President Workday early in the week, we also spoke to Barbry McGann, SVP Product Management at Workday later in the conference. The conversation centred around the main message that Workday delivered at its latest conference, AI. One of its recent product innovations was Skills Cloud.

Called IQcast, the feature tells users whether they have a low, medium or high chance of dropping below the target blood glucose range within the next one to four hours. These individual-specific predictions are generated by analyzing data collected through Sugar.IQ app and the Guardian Connect device. The Sugar.IQ app is currently available in the App Store for free download. The FDA-cleared app uses IBM Watson Health's AI and analytics tools to help users see how their glucose levels change during the day, and includes a smart food logging system, motivational insights, a glycemic assistant, a data tracker and a glycemic insights feature. Hypoglycemia -- defined by the American Diabetes Association as a blood glucose level lower than 70 mg/dL -- can lead to symptoms ranging from lightheadedness and lethargy to vision impairment and seizures.

The firm's chief strategy officer on how artificial intelligence is changing the game.

Companies from a wide range of industries use machine learning data to do everyday business. From consumer marketing and workforce management to healthcare treatment decision solutions and public safety and policing solutions, whether you realize it or not your life is increasingly more affected by the outcomes of machine learning algorithms. Machine learning algorithms make decisions like who gets a bonus, a job interview, whether or not your credit card limit (or interest) is raised, and who gets into a clinical trial. Machine learning algorithms even help make decisions about who gets parole and who languishes in prison. The result is that people's lives and livelihood are affected by the decisions made by machines.
