- Weather – analysis and prediction using big data and IoT
- Investing – stock pick recommendations based on Twitter feeds
- Application testing – cognitive capabilities added to test suites to understand application behavior
- IT Security – analysis and machine learning of security threats
IBM is adding cognitive features to many of their products including data analytics, application testing and IT security. IBM announced three new APIs at the show including voice tone, emotion and visual image recognition. Watson in the cloud accessed via APIs is proving the great potential of cognitive computing for IBM.
