Habré already wrote that the IBM Watson learned
prepare recipes ,
получил medical education , and try yourself in the role
sales assistant . Needless to say, these were only test projects, which served as a training system for the IBM Watson, and to verify the capability of a supercomputer.
And not so long ago, the corporation IBM
opened resources supercomputer Watson for third-party developers. As a result, it was planned to get various projects where the full advantage of the facilities IBM Watson. Some ideas have already been implemented, and the following are examples of the most interesting projects.
Personalized treatment of brain cancer h4>
At the New York Center for Genome Research проводится great work on personalized treatment of one of the most dangerous types of cancer of the human brain, глиобластомы.
Cancer - is a complex disease, the treatment of which is complicated by two big obstacles. Firstly, it may happen that in the search for effective treatment patients will have to try different options, wasting time. Secondly, oncologists just do not have time to get acquainted with the avalanche of data on cancer, even a certain type, not to mention the additional data on unusual varieties of the disease, and, especially, genome data of the particular patient.
The doctor may be quite capable specialists, but instead of all the information that can help the individual patient, the human brain is simply not capable of.
Opportunities supercomputer "sharpened" to work with Big Data, unstructured huge amounts of information. In this case, analysis of hundreds of thousands of medical certificates (600 thousand), and the data in the genome of the patient. Plus, the system analyzes the biomedical literature and data on the appropriate medication.
With the help of IBM Watson doctors get the right information, after analysis of terabytes and terabytes of data system, and use this information for personalized treatment of the patient. IBM Watson «trained" on each of the cases, getting more and more data, which can help in the treatment of other patients.
Each patient using the IBM Watson offers a personalized treatment that is aimed at the factors that led to the development of cancer in a particular person, in view of its genome. This increases the chances of a successful recovery, and each new case more increases the likelihood of such a a >.
The increase in ticket sales after the beginning of work is 700%; Reduce annual staff costs due to more far-sighted planning on the basis of the data - 10% (ie, minus 10 percent); < / 3 times the new members of the loyalty program thanks to the rapid creation and targeted marketing campaigns;
In general, IBM Watson capabilities allow the system to work and for the benefit of the banking sector, and in the music industry, as well as in the design and manufacture of electronics. More on that later will be published another article.
