The Google booth will be hosting a live demo of the Google Assistant. Google will be demonstrating its pioneering interpreter mode with real time, 2-way translation. The exhibit will present an overview of the Google Assistant technology and home automation capabilities.

With your Google Assistant, you can enjoy entertainment, find answers, manage everyday tasks, and easily control smart home devices -- just by using your voice.  Listen to your favorite song, find a delicious brownie recipe, or check your commute to work. Or, prepare for movie night by dimming the lights and streaming the latest blockbuster. The more you use it, the more useful it gets. It’s your own personal Google, always ready to help. Your Google Assistant can also help in situations where you may not speak the local language. For example, the Google Assistant interpreter mode can translate up to 27 languages. It uses machine learning to make context aware translations. You may have heard of it -- this technology was debuted at CES 2019. It will help small businesses and hotels everywhere to communicate and build relationships with people across the globe.  The demonstration of the Google Assistant technology will give insight into how voice assistant is progressing as the latest cutting-edge technology trend.

Detecting Backdoor Attacks on Deep Neural Networks by Activation Clustering

Dr. Nathalie Baracaldo, Research Staff Member, AI Platforms, IBM Research

While machine learning (ML) models are being increasingly trusted to make decisions in different and varying areas, the safety of systems using such models has become an increasing concern. In particular, ML models are often trained on data from potentially untrustworthy sources, providing adversaries with the opportunity to manipulate them. In this demo, I will demonstrate how poisoning attacks work and showcase a novel and very effective approach to backdoor detection and removal for neural networks.

Can Blockchain enhance Loyalty Programs?

Dr. Dulce Ponceleon, Content Protection Competency Center, IBM Research

Loyalty programs are structured marketing strategies designed by merchants to encourage customers to continue to shop at their businesses associated with each program. We present a decentralized Loyalty Program that enables different entities with their own program to interact through a broker service on the blockchain. This enables new forms of reward point exchanges.

Natural Language Query (NLQ) demo

Dr. Fatma Ozcan, Principal Research Staff Member-Big Data, IBM Research

Natural Language Interface to Database (NLIDB) eliminates the need for an end user to use complex query languages like SQL by translating the input natural language statements to SQL automatically. In this demo, we will showcase a wide range of complex business intelligence queries against a financial dataset, which conforms to a combined FIBO and FRO ontologies. The users will be able to submit their queries and examine the resulting SQL queries that the system generates.

Knowledge Graph for Intellige

Nidhi Rajshree, Engineering Manager & Architect, Knowledge Graph, IBM Watson AI Platform

With the enormous amount of unstructured data available, it is important for customers to rapidly narrow down the search over a large corpus in a structured manner and find relevant information quickly. We propose a system to construct a minimally supervised knowledge graph which generates a query-based faceted structure for searching a document collection. Customers are able to narrow down search results by filtering and retrieve the most relevant document.

Self-Driving Car

Intel & Mobileye’s technology powers the “eyes” and “brains” in the majority of the autonomous test cars on roads today. The fleet will showcase Intel and Mobileye’s full suite of safety-minded and economically scalable software, including surround-view computer vision, crowdsourced REM-based mapping and localization, several levels of sensor fusion, efficient, semantic-based artificial intelligence (AI) for driving policy (decision-making), and a formal safety layer. Our fleet will be used for development and validation providing a highly scalable and cost-effective L4/L5 platform.

Intel Drone Light Shows

Intel’s drone light shows take the wonders of drone technology and transform them into an entirely new form of entertainment. With Intel® Drone Light Shows, brands or organizations have the power to brighten up the night sky and indoor spaces with a perfectly choreographed light show of hundreds, even thousands of drones—creating a stunning way to communicate.
