Dispatch of network of Chinese quality news (reporter Zhang Binbin) do not know this to still how many person remembers IBM once giant, the consumer level that at this late hour carries in our C can have seen the figure of IBM rarely. Before be being written down some year firm of wall street survey thinks the apple should buy IBM, a lot of business that because of its the banner leaves and technology are malic place need, give out at the outset buying price is 200 billion - 250 billion dollar. Nowadays, shrink of IBM market prise is serious, it is one hundred and twenty-four billion seven hundred and sixty-eight million dollar only at present, even if is to add the excessive price that buys to also do not cross left and right sides of 150 billion dollar.
Although this idea looks,be like some impossible, but very intuitionistic however explained IBM to still be in in AI domain the reality that encounters a setback. The brilliant early of IBM begins parting, 2017 " god " fertile Buffett expresses human relations · to had lost confidence to IBM. Its with a ha scatter Wei president to hold presiding apparitor concurrently as · of Bai Kexi Er, buffett represents this company already 2017 mix first quarter undersell of the 2nd quarter the stock of about 1/3 IBM of hold.
Want to know to occupy public data, wolunbafeite opened up 2011 endowment 120 much dollars invested IBM, up to by 2016, the Bai Kexi Er of in control of of Ba Fei spy with a ha drops Wei company is IBM the biggest partner, oppose a scale for 8.6% . The battalion that decreasing what held account consults is IBM closes already successive the 20th quarter drops, innovate 15 years to come battalion closes new low, net profit drops compared to the same period 13% , business income is become season is cut to 18.2 billion dollar.
Many business sell IBM centre of gravity changes AI to medical treatment
IBM has been that no longer once brilliant " giant " , its transition ability did not imagine inside course of study it seems that medium that kind is powerful. According to relevant statistic, it is since 2009, IBM sold 10 many business at least, include server of the hep PC inside course of study, X86 and chip to make etc. Ceaseless atrophy and sell core business, make investor right the future of IBM is losing confidence gradually.
At present IBM returns what can say to be " future " namely the acknowledge of strategy of IBM artificial intelligence was calculated, the Watson that its representing is IBM (Watson) , and one of its mainest application fields are AI medical treatment.
And regard pillar as the product, watson's closest negative news also is to emerge in endlessly. It is the Watson medical treatment that artificial intelligence research and development is in charge of below IBM banner first, with Dekesasi university MD installs center of heart dark cancer (collaboration of MD Anderson Cancer Centre) is old, devoted gigantic endowment " diagnostician of artificial intelligence cancer " project suspend payment. What following sb's heels and come is, steep fall as the turnover of IBM, commercial assayer people oppugn Watson after all when to can give real commercial value for company creation all the time.
Cast issue of too complex artificial intelligence technology not to talk. Operation M.D. The university announces the Dekesasi that installs heart dark center close the cooperative project issue with IBM, be willing unexpectedly to add up to Alexandrine and original value the project of 2.4 million dollar pays the reparations that is as high as 39 million dollar to IBM. Although M.D. Anderson center did not make a specific assessment to Watson, but can see from inside the reparations of a huge sum former the commercialize can care to Watson.
AI iatrical commercializes foreground
Domestic Thomas Fuchs says the computational pathology of Memorial Sloan-Kettering of center of new York cancer: "Train a car that drives automatically, anybody can tell there are a tree or one side guidepost before it, drive the system learned to differentiate roadblock. But, in professional domain of medicine, this kind of state of affairs is little little, groomed only tens of year what expert ability tells a system is right answer. Groomed only tens of year what expert ability tells a system is right answer..
The data of medical treatment domain is not easy to read and understand Yi Jian, the data of numerous domain is existing of all sorts of circumstances " skimble-scamble " . And what Watson needs is data of will much professional medical treatment undertake study, this comes round to need to cost many incident and capital talent implementation in eye.
Also weigh even him IBM, watson is the item that a need throws support for a long time. Wind casts the copartner Stephen Kraus of company Bessemer Venture to express, "Can Watson improve sanitarian activity finally, reduce medical treatment cost? Very likely. But the likelihood won't happen inside 5 years, and the position that Watson also cannot replace a doctor. And the position that Watson also cannot replace a doctor..
It is the project that a such need be thinkinged support for a long time, will be reported to say by American media The Register May last year, personage of IBM inside information discloses, healthy branch should fire Watson about the employee of 50-70% . Without doubt, act cutting down the member of persons employed meant IBM Watson to encounter heavy defeat in domain of medical treatment health.
Preexistence this life of Watson
1997, the super computer of IBM research and development " deep blue (Deep Blue) " conquer chess champion blocks Sipaluofu. At that time, this is regarded as the one great progress of the computer, mean AI to begin to anabiosis. But the open fight between factions of artificial intelligence was not ignited, "Deep blue " can conquer mankind, a bit more crucial it is it has a special chip to be able to calculate very quickly.
If look today the rapid development of artificial intelligence, its backside cannot leave 3 factors: Computational force, algorithm and huge data. And 1997, computational strength condition is OK and contented, but the algorithm that does not have huge data become reconciled. Accordingly, "Deep blue " it is a super computer merely.
After this, "Deep blue " begin to disappear, after 14 years, IBM was rolled out " deep blue " upgrade edition -- Watson (Watson) .
This, watson is to play the game likewise, gain the wide attention of people. In the United States' most welcome in Feburary 2011 intellective guess program " critical margin " in, watson beats two the most successful players on this program history to agree - Zhan Ningsi and Bulade - Lu Te, become a winner.
IBM is attributed to its victory ability of Natural Language Processing, this lets it can analytic and complex program and the clew that are full of pun, scan next its giant solution warehouse.
Watson did not bring AI medical treatment to revolution can calculate promotion only or transform
At present we very the final conclusion below the tomorrow that presses medical treatment health, IBM had invested billions of dollar to Watson business, but " Doctor Watson " (Doctor Watson) has not bring revolution to medical treatment industry. Nevertheless, what cannot ignore is the change that Watson brings to medical treatment industry, the cerebral tumor that the observation that needs to be as long as 160 hours originally observes to ability gives out suffers from medical treatment to plan, watson wants 10 minutes only. The scholar inside course of study thinks, big data + the promotion that intelligent humanness will come to to bring is not accomplished in one move absolutely, the technology needs what otherwise breaks to upgrade, ability has greater use sense gradually, after change promotion reachs certain amount, just can appear so called revolution.
