IBM's Watson AI is learning to understand nuance and context
IBM is blazing a trail when it comes to how robots interact with humans. The company recently upgraded its Watson AI with a'Tone Analyzer' service that allows it to understand nuance and tone of text. By analyzing word choice, emoji use, and context the AI is learning to understand how we talk to each other. There are thousands of companies doing work in the AI space right now, but most of it happens in the background. It's one thing to teach an AI how to find what you're looking for on the internet, it's more impressive to give AI manners and train it to be a customer service agent.

MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab - Home
We're looking for research scientists who are passionate about developing next generation AI methodologies that will have a profound impact on health and healthcare, and improve people's lives. Our ambitious AI for Healthcare research agenda include deep learning and deep phenotyping integrating multiple aspects of healthcare data, probabilistic temporal modeling of disease and disease progression, causal inference from observational data, structured prediction, federated learning to leverage distributed data sets, integration of medical and health observational data with systems and chemical biology models, knowledge representation and probabilistic reasoning, and affective computing.
IBM is funding new Watson AI lab at MIT with $240 Million
IBM said on Thursday it will spend $240 million over the next decade to fund a new artificial intelligence research lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The resulting MITโIBM Watson AI Lab will focus on a handful of key AI areas including the development of new "deep learning" algorithms. Deep learning is a subset of AI that aims to bring human-like learning capabilities to computers so they can operate more autonomously. The Cambridge, Mass.-based lab will be led by Dario Gil, vice president of AI for IBM Research and Anantha Chandrakasan, dean of MIT's engineering school. It will draw upon about 100 researchers from IBM (ibm) itself and the university.

IBM announced on Thursday that it had reached a 10-year research partnership agreement with the university worth nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. The IBM-MIT partnership will also study the intersection between machine learning and quantum computing. Interestingly, this focal area will aid both fields, with AI helping to identify and characterize quantum devices and with quantum computers helping to optimize machine learning methodologies. But those aren't the only commercial fields being investigated, researchers will also look into the "economic implications of AI and investigate how AI can improve prosperity," according to an IBM press release.
