讲座内容简介：

Researchers and practitioners have been pursuing smartcomputing for decades. The initial focus was on smart appliances and gadgets enabled by instrumentingand connecting everyday objects. Then came smart environments such as smartoffices and smart homes that were interwoven with sensors, actuators, andcomputational elements and that were personalized and adaptive. More recently,the advent of technologies like mobile crowdsensing and the Internet of Thingshas resulted in smart systems at the societal scale, including many smart cityapplications. In spite of the tremendous growth in scale, smart computing systems havestayed at more or less the same level of smartness so far. The smartness has mostly stemmed from the capabilitiesof detecting dynamic user context and responding to that context autonomously. Going forward, an important direction is to enable asignificantly heightened level of smartness in computing systems, by leveragingdevelopments in big data and cognitive computing. Applications that integratebig data across the board and are cognizant promise to be more insightful andoffer augmented intelligence to humans. In this talk, I will discuss theimplications of big data and cognitive technologies on smart computing. I willdraw upon our experience at IBM Watson Health, and discuss how big data andcognitive computing can come together to enable innovative health solutionsthat address many clinical, societal, and economic issues. I will present usecases, highlight the challenges, describe our approaches, and relate to clientexperiences.
