IBM Watson: A Fashionista Never Says Sorry
October 19, 2017
I haven’t paid much attention to IBM Watson since the popular media began poking holes in IBM’s marketing assertions. However, I feel compelled to highlight the information in “Presenting Intelligent Fashion: IBM’s Watson and Vogue Unveil the World’s First AI Inspired Saree.” There’s nothing quite like versatile software able to treat cancer and whip up a saree.
Here’s the passage that I found amusing:
Findability Sciences, an IBM ecosystem partner, used Watson’s Visual Recognition API to extract specific context around patterns and colors that were most dominant. Aura Gupta used this data via a custom-built IBM application, to design a never-before-seen saree-gown that was worn by the event’s MC and Emmy Award winning actress, Archie Panjabi. The designs embodied the achievements of every woman and two men, yet were unique to each individual winner.
Quite a case example.
