Hilton and IBM Pilot 'Connie,'The World's First Watson-Enabled Hotel Concierge
IBM continues to advance
New York - Arab Today
IBM continues to advance and stretch the boundaries of what Watson can do, which includes embedding cognitive capabilities into new form factors such as robots.
Hilton and IBM have collaborated on a pilot project to debut the first Watson-enabled hotel robot concierge named "Connie."
Connie draws on domain knowledge from Watson and WayBlazer, a Watson ecosystem partner, to inform Hilton guests on local tourist attractions, dining recommendations and hotel features and amenities.
This is just the beginning, and Connie is learning. Each interaction with a guest is an opportunity to teach Connie new information and expand its corpus of knowledge.
Based on the knowledge gathered from this pilot, IBM can continue to advance cognitive technology and help accelerate the solutions its partners can bring to market.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
