Teaching Watson to see within our Visual Recognition Cloud Service - Watson

When the science of IBM Research comes together with a Cloud service engineering team, something special happens. That is the case for the Watson Visual Recognition cloud service delivered by my team. In December, we launched a significant update to our Deep Learning based Watson Visual Recognition service for how Watson can see and identify subject matter of images. A recent blog post by Recast AI has provided a good summary of this marketplace and the remarkable performance that is being achieved by the Watson Visual Recognition service. When you bring together Watson Visual Recognition's market-leading performance with your ability to extend this cloud-based service with custom visual recognition classifiers, the solutions you can build are boundless.
