Recently, netizen @Ma Li broke the news on Zhiqun that IBM China Research Institute was closed. The main reason is internal adjustment, the original Boss retired, after all, the research institute itself is difficult to profit.

At the height of IBM’s China research boom, various government departments scrambled to subsidize it. Who could have predicted that IBM was also in decline today, with technology bottlenecks, stock declines, and eventually bankruptcy.

Once the “iron rice bowl” of Zhongguancun, dream Company is in the hearts of countless people

Founded in 1995, IBM China Research Institute is one of IBM’s top 12 research organizations worldwide and the first research institute in a developing country. It is located in the northwest corner of Beijing Shangdi Information Industry Base, located in zhongguancun Software Park, was once the “holy land” of Beijing university students.

Due to the wide range of research fields, the key research topics include big data analysis, cloud computing, Internet of Things and technological innovation and application of cognitive computing, most of those who hold the “iron rice bowls” of IBM have doctoral and master’s degrees from first-class universities in China or even the world.

When IBM was at its peak, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as “the dream company of countless students from prestigious universities where the north of Qing Dynasty was reunited with each other”.

Watson is the light of AI, and it once shone brightly for IBM

Since its establishment, IBM China Research Institute has many years of research and accumulation in the field of artificial intelligence and cognitive computing. Artificial intelligence was first established at the Dartmouth Conference in 1956, at which IBM was a major participant.

Among its many notable technological achievements, the most famous is Watson, the famous ARTIFICIAL intelligence program in cognitive computing, which was launched in 2011 and is named after the founder of IBM.

Watson is an application of advanced natural language processing, message retrieval, knowledge representation, automatic reasoning, machine learning and other open question answering techniques. The power of integrating technology from multiple fields into an architecture to understand human natural language.

That year involved in the research and development of Watson and Japan and other countries of the research institute of technical personnel, after four years, finally ushered in the birth of “Watson”. According to the researchers, Watson can process 500 gigabytes of data per second, the equivalent of reading a million books a second. In 2011 the system was featured on the US TV quiz show Jeopardy! (Dangerous journey!) He beat two human champions and rose to fame.

This research has been promising for use in medical-assisted artificial intelligence systems. Patients’ personal information is said to be fed into the system, which then recommends appropriate treatment options for doctors based on information from numerous medical studies, medical guidelines and clinical trials.

Why the closure of IBM China Research Institute can cause turbulence in the science and technology circle, it must start from the impact of IBM on human beings. Some say that when IBM was founded in 1911,Has the first half history of computers and the Internet. For more than 100 years, IBM has achieved more in technology than most other countries, and its employees are paid to do the best jobsSix Nobel Prizes and six Turing Prizes each. So,IBM is also known as the Big Blue.. Why did such a tech giant suddenly shut down its China research institute?Among them, the biggest reason is that IBM China research institute actually does a lot of basic research, i.eIt does not produce much direct economic benefit by itselfOn top of that, IBM’s own faltering will have a direct impact on the amount of money it receives. IBM lost out to Microsoft in the PC era; In the Internet era, it is not as good as the cloud computing of Facebook and Amazon. IBM’s revenue has been declining for a long time, and its stock price has been falling. Big Blue seems to be in trouble.

As for the closure of IBM China Research Institute, many netizens expressed nostalgia for the once-glorious “dream job”, while others felt sorry for it. Anyway, say goodbye to the brilliant IBM China Research Institute! Where tech giants fall, new ones are bound to rise. At present, Oracle has become the largest enterprise software company in the world. Some netizens say that the dismal end of IBM China Research Institute will bring oracle some experience and lessons.
