IBM Watson for Artificial Intelligence & Cognitive Computing




IBM Watson for Artificial Intelligence & Cognitive Computing

IBM Watson has evolved from being a game show winning question & answering computer system to a set of enterprise-grade artificial intelligence (AI) application program interfaces (API) available on IBM Cloud. These Watson APIs can ingest, understand & analyze all forms of data, allow for natural forms of interactions with people, learn, reason - all at a scale that allows for business processes and applications to be reimagined. If you’re someone who wants to build applications based on cognitive computing, AI, and ML, then this course is perfect for you.

This practical course on IBM Watson is designed to teach you how to build intelligent AI, ML, and Cognitive Computing based applications and systems. Beginning with an introduction to IBM Watson and exploring its components/features, you will learn how it can solve common pitfalls and be beneficial for your businesses. You will then learn the core Cognitive Computing techniques, concepts, and practices that Watson adopts and makes accessible to all. You will also get a detailed understanding of the Watson APIs such as training them and eventually building applications using them. Next, you will learn how to build chatbots, analyze text at a deeper level, transcribe audio, train a machine to classify & detect objects in pictures, extract entities, emotions, sentiment and relationships from news articles, and more. Finally, you will learn machine learning and deep learning to build intelligent AI systems.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, IBM Watson for Beginners, will start by introducing Watson and what it can do for you. You will discover the kind of problems Watson can help with and discover the main components/features that enable it to work. Along the way you will learn the core Cognitive Computing techniques, concepts, and practices that Watson adopts and makes accessible to all. After that brief start, you'll delve into problem solving with Watson. Each section will deal with a kind of problem that Watson can solve, using 1 or more illustrative examples to show you how Watson can be used to solve your own business problems and build powerful intelligent systems.

The second course, Learning to Build Apps Using Watson AI, will give you a hands-on introduction to getting a detailed understanding of the Watson APIs, how to train them, and eventually build applications using them. You will go through the fundamentals behind each of the APIs, lots of code examples on how to use them on different types of unstructured data, spot the scenarios where you can apply them as well as real-life use case examples. You will learn about how to build conversational apps a.k.a., chatbots, analyze text at a deeper level, transcribe audio, training a machine to classify & detect objects in pictures, extract entities, emotions, sentiment and relationships from news articles, and more. You will also learn the different types of data, basics of AI including machine & deep learning, approach to building AI systems. You will learn about the basics of getting started with IBM Cloud, Watson and setting up an environment to build AI infused apps.

By the end of this course, you will have a complete understanding of the various Watson APIs and will have developed the skills to effectively use them in applications and business processes you may be working on.
