I would like to take you on an exciting and rewarding personal journey that brings together Devoxx and IBM Watson.
The journey began with a discussion on how to leverage IBM Watson, to make a cognitive search engine for Devoxx videos, and Voxxed articles. Voxxed.com hosts valuable articles and videos covering cutting edge technologies and penned by pre-eminient technologists worldwide for the Devoxx community.
Stephan Janssen and I presented this cognitive search prototype at Devoxx UK in June 2016. There was tremendous interest in Watson along with some skepticism around Watson being a truly cognitive platform. Skepticism which would be answered at the next Devoxx in Belgium!

With the addition of Watson’s Conversation API and natural language queries, we used the popular Pepper Robot as the front end. He charmed the audience with his answers to questions, derived from IBM Watson’s Conversation service. Watch the fun Devoxx BE keynote here.
In response to skepticism for the Watson cognitive search engine at Devoxx UK, we also had a three hour university session that would take a “Deep Dive into Watson’s Neural Networks” at Devoxx BE.
As you can tell, it’s been a whirlwind trip and amazing experience for me working with Devoxx and the brilliant people in the community. But the best part of this trip is that it hasn’t ended yet. We have Devoxx US coming to San Jose in March 2017. I am excited to be part of the Devoxx US Program Committee, as well as presenting at Devoxx US. So my Devoxx journey continues and I’m so excited to see what happens next and you can be sure, I’ll be sharing all that great news with all of you…
