For this tutorial, we're going to power TJBot with APIs from Watson Developer Cloud. We'll start by putting a voice interface onto TJBot, then give it the ability to converse and understand your emotional tones. In part 2 of the tutorial, we'll transfer the code onto a Raspberry Pi and put the whole thing into the physical TJBot itself. For the sake of simplicity, we'll keep the conversation simple.

IBM Watson's AI is trying to find new cancer treatments IBM continued Watson's evolution on Thursday when the computing company announced it will use the artificial intelligence system to seek out new treatments for cancer patients. The plan also includes a partnership with drug-maker Pfizer, and for good reason: It will be one of the first companies to use Watson for drug research and the first to customize the A.I. for its own purposes. Pfizer will use Watson to "support the identification of new drug targets, combination therapies for study, and patient selection strategies in immuno-oncology." This collaboration is part of IBM's efforts to use Watson as a medical tool. The company said that the A.I. has "ingested" more than 1 million articles from medical journals, 4 million patents, and 25 million abstracts from Medline, a medical supplies manufacturer and distributor.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has added natural language question answering to its unstructured data analytics engine. The engine, HPE IDOL, uses machine learning to boost the accuracy of human interactions with computers. The next wave of IT innovation will be powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning. We look at the ways companies can take advantage of it and how to get started. HPE IDOL's natural question answering capability joins a crowded field as Nuance and IBM via Watson all have similar plays on natural language processing.

IBM Watson is set to take the fight to cybercrime. Fortune 500 companies across the globe are tackling cybercrime by deploying IBM Watson's cognitive computing power. Watson for Cyber Security, a project designed to take the fight to hackers, is a year-long research effort that initially was focused around universities but has been extended to various industries, including banking, healthcare, insurance, and automotive. Using artificial intelligence technologies, such as machine learning and natural language processing, to analyse vast amounts of structured and unstructured data, Watson is designed to help cybersecurity professionals identify threats. Marburg Hospital's Centre for the Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases is using the cognitive computing system to solve some of the most complex medical cases.

You may know Watson as IBM's Jeopardy-winning, cookbook-writing, dress-designing, weather-predicting supercomputer-of-all trades. Starting today, 40 organizations will rely upon the clever computers cognitive power to help spot cybercrime. The Watson for Cybersecurity beta program helps IBM too, because Watson's real-world experience will help it hone its skills and work within specific industries. After all, the threats that keep security experts at Sun Life Financial up at night differ from those that spook the cybersleuths at University of New Brunswick. IBM researchers started training Watson in the fundamentals of cybersecurity last spring so the computer could begin to analysize and prevent threats.

HARMAN participated at IBM's World of Watson event in Las Vegas to announce how we are integrating the cognitive technology capabilities of IBM Watson with HARMAN's powerful enterprise IOT solutions. Drawing on our extensive enterprise IOT solutions, HARMAN is providing the'central nervous system' to the IBM Watson'brain' for more intuitive, connected experiences in healthcare, hospitality and corporate settings. The result: voice enabled cognitive rooms by HARMAN. Mohit Parasher, executive vice president and president, Professional Solutions at HARMAN, participated on stage to discuss how HARMAN and IBM successfully tested a prototype voice-activated JBL speaker solution at Thomson Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia that allows patients to control their environment directly and answer questions with the goal of improving patient experiences and care. Eighty percent of physicians describe themselves as overextended or at capacity.

IBM's Deborah DiSanzo made the announcement at the 2016 Forbes Healthcare Summit. Immunotherapy is an approach that uses the immune system to fight diseases, unlike chemotherapy, which kills cancer cells. Immunotherapy works on cells in the immune system to combat cancer. Dario Gil, director of symbiotic cognitive systems at IBM Research, holds a remote control wand while giving a demonstration of the IBM Watson immersion room during an event at the company's headquarters in New York Oct. 7, 2014. By partnering with IBM's Watson for Drug Discovery, Pfizer hopes to more quickly analyze and test hypotheses from "massive volumes of disparate data sources" that include more than 30 million sources of laboratory and data reports as well as medical literature.
