Question Answering
From narrow AI to broad AI - pharmaphorum
Imagine you're in the emergency room, where doctors and nurses are always making last minute critical decisions. To be able to have a trusted system that you could have a dialogue with, that you could argue with, will help you make more informed decisions. It's not going to make your decision for you, but it's going to help you reason more effectively. The reasoning side of AI is becoming increasingly important. When we brought Watson and other solutions to market, narrow AI was an emerging technology. With narrow AI you can quickly get very good results from a thin slice of data, but narrow AI can be very complex as well.

AliMe KBQA: Question Answering over Structured Knowledge for E-commerce Customer Service
Li, Feng-Lin, Chen, Weijia, Huang, Qi, Guo, Yikun
With the rise of knowledge graph (KG), question answering over knowledge base (KBQA) has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Despite much research has been conducted on this topic, it is still challenging to apply KBQA technology in industry because business knowledge and real-world questions can be rather complicated. In this paper, we present AliMe-KBQA, a bold attempt to apply KBQA in the E-commerce customer service field. To handle real knowledge and questions, we extend the classic "subject-predicate-object (SPO)" structure with property hierarchy, key-value structure and compound value type (CVT), and enhance traditional KBQA with constraints recognition and reasoning ability. We launch AliMe-KBQA in the Marketing Promotion scenario for merchants during the "Double 11" period in 2018 and other such promotional events afterwards. Online results suggest that AliMe-KBQA is not only able to gain better resolution and improve customer satisfaction, but also becomes the preferred knowledge management method by business knowledge staffs since it offers a more convenient and efficient management experience.
Medication Regimen Extraction From Clinical Conversations
Selvaraj, Sai P., Konam, Sandeep
Extracting relevant information from clinical conversations and providing it to doctors and patients might help in addressing doctor burnout and patient forgetfulness. In this paper, we focus on extracting the Medication Regimen (dosage and frequency for medications) discussed in a clinical conversation. We frame the problem as a Question Answering (QA) task and perform comparative analysis over: a QA approach, a new combined QA and Information Extraction approach and other baselines. We use a small corpus of 6,692 annotated doctor-patient conversations for the task. Clinical conversation corpora are costly to create, difficult to handle (because of data privacy concerns), and thus `scarce'. We address this data scarcity challenge through data augmentation methods, using publicly available embeddings and pretrain part of the network on a related task of summarization to improve the model's performance. Compared to the baseline, our best-performing models improve the dosage and frequency extractions' ROUGE-1 F1 scores from 54.28 and 37.13 to 89.57 and 45.94, respectively. Using our best-performing model, we present the first fully automated system that can extract Medication Regimen (MR) tags from spontaneous doctor-patient conversations with about ~71% accuracy.
How AI Helped Decode Ancient Geoglyphic Etchings In Peru
Trapezoids, triangles and many other geometric shapes -- that's what one would see if they flew a drone over the high desert in Peru, South America. These giant geometric figures resemble birds, insects and other living beings. These are the famous Nazca lines which were discovered in the 1920s. In total, there are over 800 straight lines and 300 geometric figures. Archaeologists have been studying these lies ever since their discovery and still continue to do so till date.
Women Leaders in AI IBM Watson
Women represent only a small minority in AI--an estimated 22% of the global AI workforce, and often with lower-ranking jobs than men. See how IBM's Be Equal campaign is focused on encouraging more girls into sciences and math and more women into computer science in order to break down barriers and close the gender gap.
IBM Watson Health Unveils Imaging AI Marketplace of FDA-Cleared Solutions -
Today at RSNA, IBM Watson Health is announcing two new products, and showcasing a variety of partnerships and clients that are using our advanced technologies to improve the way radiologists deliver care. We are delighted to announce these collaborations at RSNA highlighting our advancements in medical imaging globally," said Anne Le Grand, General Manager, Imaging, Life Sciences, and Oncology, IBM Watson Health. "From helping clinicians to identify potential missed findings to seeing a summary view of patient records quickly, our innovative technologies are at the forefront of Watson Health's mission to help enable clinicians to more effectively respond to the world's most pressing health challenges." Clinical Review 3.0, a tool recently launched in the UK that analyzes medical imaging studies and their associated reports to identify potentially missed findings, facilitating higher quality and more comprehensive care for the patient. IBM Watson Health Imaging has recently engaged with Fortrus Ltd, to grow upon the reseller's strong relationship with the UK public sector, which includes a single supplier outcome-based Managed Services framework. The Imaging AI Marketplace is a single-source solution designed to help simplify the complex process of locating, purchasing, deploying and managing the vast array of AI imaging applications. The Imaging AI Marketplace is carefully curated and contains only FDA-cleared solutions alongside Watson Health developed AI solutions. Guerbet, a global specialist in contrast agents and solutions for diagnostic and interventional imaging, also recently signed an exclusive joint development agreement to develop an artificial intelligence software solution to support prostate cancer diagnostics and monitoring, utilizing MR imaging. This deal extends their earlier collaboration regarding liver cancer signed in January 2018. In addition, 4ways, a fast-growing private teleradiology network in the UK that enables UK-based radiologists to work remotely over a leading technology platform, has committed to underpin its ambitious growth strategy with IBM Watson Health's Merge PACS 8.0 platform, upgrading its current platform to support their business growth.

Voice search is changing healthcare? Business & Leadership Change
"Love it or hate it, voice technology is here to stay." Voice search isn't perfect, and it's nowhere near as advanced in its capabilities as it will be in just a few years. But it's already affecting the way people search for services and providers. From its novel start to its rapid infiltration into more of our lives, voice-enabled tech (or voice assistants) is changing the way we access and use healthcare. In fact, Amazon recently greenlighted six healthcare companies to develop apps for Echo (Alexa), and HIPPA compliant apps are already in the works for several major players.
