This tutorial explains how to perform text analytics using the Analytics for Hadoop service and dashDB service (formerly known as the Analytics Warehouse service) on IBM Bluemix . Most of the processes are performed on a client machine with Eclipse IDE and the BigInsights plugin installed. After extracting the desired text, we use R in dashDB to plot charts with the results.

In part 1 of this blog we had seen how data that is handled in an ecommerce system could be bucketed into various perspectives and categorized into the role it plays or supports. And we discussed two use cases which I shall restate here: UC1: A shopper must be allowed to define and manage any number of personal information about them. In this blog let us get down to the solutioning decisions and see how the puzzle pieces fall into place. For properly solutioning this we must revisit the data that we will end up capturing and understand what qualities the data store must support. Apart from the obvious needs of storing, retrieving and updating data the choice should allow for discovery and exploration of the data over and beyond the...Read More

IBM Watson Analytics (Commerce Lounge) for...

E-Commerce in India is valued at USD $10 Billion in 2014 and expected to cross USD $15 Billion in 2015 (Report from IAMAI). India has barely scratched the surface of web ecommerce potential but is poised to go ballistic (in a good way) in mobile commerce. An interesting tidbit here is that over 5.5 million 4G enabled mobile devices have been sold but less than 100K 4G subscribers are there, mainly because of the limited availability of 4G network in India. But with reports suggesting that 4G Internet will be launched countrywide in 2015, it is not far fetched to think mobiles may soon monopolize shopping in India. But rules of old world no longer apply. (Old = 5 years ago.... and I may be too generous here.) While there is general trend...Read More

I’m excited about a new node package that I was introduced to this past week! One of my colleagues, the venerable German Attanasio, introduced me to a Node.js package that he, along with this team, have created to simplify Watson Service development on Bluemix. This weekend I decided to sit down and play with the new package. You can find the watson-developer-cloud package on npmjs.com. As indicated in the package documentation, it is currently alpha quality and not recommended for production. Nonetheless, the watson-developer-cloud package is impressive and extremely simplifies embedding cognitive services into a node application.Running an example on your laptop The sample code below demonstrates how straightforward it is to create a...Read More

In addition to using programmatic computing, Watson has three capabilities that make it that does not use prepared answers, but determines its answers and acquired.” never been done before, resulting in a fundamental change in the way businesses look at quickly solving problems.

As an architect/practitioner growing up in a world of enterprise architecture where data is rarely seen outside the ambit of relational schema, NoSQL brings with it a breath of fresh air - simultaneously challenging previous beliefs, promising exciting opportunities and bringing its load of inevitable baggages. In this blog post, I shall walk down the discovery path of how, as an architect, I see NoSQL complementing or supplementing or replacing traditional solutions. The perspective is that of an architect trained in a world of stack architecture and transactions, so this may not resonate well with advocates of either technology. However it highlights opportunities and challenges that would translate into solutions that everyone can...Read More
