Palestrante: Claudio Santos Pinhanez (IBM Reserch)
Título: Using Cognitive Computing to Understand the Internet of People
Resumo: This talk discusses how cognitive computing techniques can be used to process and extract insights from data produced by people. Different projects from the IBM Research Brazil laboratory are used to illustrate the challenges and opportunities of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the Internet of People, including applications in social media text analytics, life-event detection, and social imagery processing. The talk also explores the use of AI and ML in new finance-related applications, including some results on the use of graph analytics on healthcare management data and a prototype of an intelligent agent for investment advice. The importance of quantitative and ethnographic studies as tools for algorithm discovery and validation in the Internet of People is also highlighted, with some examples from the laboratory’s work on microcredit applications.
