IBM Watson Trend
Consumer AI app using NLP and machine learning ARIMA to analyze millions of social conversations, perform sentiment analysis, and forecast health, technology, and holiday product trends. Watson Trend was one of the highest performing IBM Signature Moments to that point, with 12,000+ Twitter mentions and 125M impressions, which ranked in the top 5, and an amplification rate of 1.37, 6th highest among Signature Moments to that point. Hundreds of articles were written about it. The app was recognized by Apple as a “Best New App” and was named “Technology of the Year (2016)” by the Digital Analytics Association and download over 100,000 times on both iOS and Android.
