The next chapter of early childhood education may be coming courtesy of Sesame Workshop and the letters I-B-M. Sesame Workshop, which has made the beloved children's education show "Sesame Street" for decades, and IBM's Watson -- of "Jeopardy!" The firms will work together for three years to develop products for the classroom and the home, which combine the artificial intelligence prowess of Watson with Sesame Workshop's deep knowledge of how to teach to the preschool set. The hope is that Watson, which can learn and adapt based on its user, will be able to adjust its teaching based on a child's skill level and learning style. Sesame Workshop has worked for years to provide a mix of learning styles in its flagship show, but is looking to do more.

IBM (IBM, Tech30) Watson is teaming up with Sesame Workshop to develop a new suite of preschool products that could range from consumer apps and toys, to educational tools for schools. Sesame Workshop is the nonprofit that creates "Sesame Street." The company says it entered into this partnership because it wants to provide personalized learning to as many kids around the world as possible. "There's not necessarily anything wrong with preschool education today," Harriet Green, IBM's GM for Watson IoT, Commerce and Education told CNNMoney. But not enough kids have access to the right level of education at the right time in their lives.

Everyone wants to stay fit and healthy, and AI can help you to do that even better. While IBM Watson supports personalised apps like the Nutrino pregnancy tracker, it can also help doctors in hospitals draw more accurate conclusions. "Doctors have tens of thousands of brain scans from screening people for cancer," explains Auer-Welsbach. "If IBM Watson went through these it could perhaps recognise signs that no one has been able to know before – whether the brain looks slightly different in people who go on to develop Alzheimer's, for example."

Everyone is talking about chatbots these days. Telegram has them, Facebook got them recently, Slack has them and many more want them (for a good reason). It was time to figure out what these chatbots are and how they can help and make life easier. We are at a point where artificial intelligence is a big thing again. Recent movies like "Ex Machina" and "Her" pictured super smart and dangerous AI-driven bots that could easily become a threat to humanity.

Don't worry: IBM's Watson didn't whip up a bunch of needlessly complicated granola recipes for a cookbook that you must make (for science!). No, we're talking about its partnership with Kellogg's subsidiary Bear Naked, which is the first consumer brand to sell Chef Watson-inspired food. The partnership made it possible for Bear Naked to launch a website where granola enthusiasts can make custom blends. After you select a base -- cacao cashew butter, chocolate or honey -- Watson looks through thousands of possible flavors to find ingredients it can suggest. It's a very simple process, and we wish Watson can customize each can of granola even further.

He had just flown into Augusta, Georgia for the Masters. Bad weather caused a pileup of arrivals. The airport ran out of open gates. His flight was stuck on the tarmac. If air traffic controllers had access to Watson, they might have been able to forecast the flight congestion.

We investigate case-based reasoning (CBR) problems where cases are represented by abstract factors and (positive or negative) outcomes, and an outcome for a new case, represented by abstract factors, needs to be established. To this end, we employ abstract argumentation (AA) and propose a novel methodology for CBR, called AA-CBR. The argumentative formulation naturally allows to characterise the computation of an outcome as a dialogical process between a proponent and an opponent, and can also be used to extract explanations for why an outcome for a new case is (not) computed.

AlchemyLanguage is a collection of APIs that offer text analysis through natural language processing. The AlchemyLanguage APIs can analyze text and help you to understand its sentiment, keywords, entities, high-level concepts and more.

Not every startup CEO can say they were able to grow their business to a point where they were acquired. Even fewer can say they did it twice. But that is exactly the case for AlchemyAPI Founder and CEO Elliot Turner. Turner launched his first startup, MimeStar, a software development company focused on network intrusion detection, while a sophomore in high school. Inc. acquired it by the time he was twenty-one. He quickly saw the shift in the market to the need to democratize artificial intelligence (A.I.), and decided to venture out on his own to start AlchemyAPI.
