IBM Cognos Analytics
IBM Cognos Analytics is IBM's web-based business intelligence platform for enterprise-scale reporting, dashboards, data modeling, and AI-assisted analysis, with governance and fine-grained access controls across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments.
IBM RoboRXN
IBM RoboRXN is a cloud-based autonomous chemical synthesis platform by IBM Research Europe, announced in August 2020, combining AI synthesis planning with a robot laboratory chemists access online.
IBM TrueNorth
IBM TrueNorth is a digital neuromorphic microprocessor developed by IBM Research under DARPA's SyNAPSE program and published in 2014, implementing one million spiking neurons on 5.4 billion transistors.
IBM Watson for Oncology
IBM Watson for Oncology was a clinical decision-support system developed by IBM with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that ranked evidence-based cancer treatments, announced in 2012 and sold off by 2022.
IBM Watson Health
IBM Watson Health was an IBM business unit, launched in 2015, that applied Watson computing to healthcare data and analytics until its 2022 sale to Francisco Partners.
IBM watsonx.data
IBM watsonx.data is IBM's hybrid, open data lakehouse, part of the watsonx platform announced May 2023 and generally available July 2023. It runs Presto, Spark, OpenSearch, Cassandra, and Milvus engines over open formats such as Iceberg with built-in governance.
iBorderCtrl
iBorderCtrl was an EU-funded research project, running 2016 to 2019, that piloted automated border control with biometric verification and AI deception detection for Schengen land borders.
Iceberg REST catalog specification
The Iceberg REST catalog specification is an OpenAPI-defined HTTP protocol in Apache Iceberg for talking to any Iceberg catalog: config, namespaces, tables, commits, credentials, scan planning. One client works with any compliant server like Polaris or Glue.
ID3 algorithm
ID3, or Iterative Dichotomiser 3, is a classic 1986 algorithm by Ross Quinlan that builds classification decision trees from labeled examples, choosing each split by information gain.
Idempotent pipeline
Idempotent pipeline: a data or request pipeline whose reruns over the same input produce the same result, using MERGE/upsert, partition overwrite, checkpointing, and idempotency keys so retries and backfills never duplicate data.
Identity document
An identity document, also known as identity papers, is any document a government recognizes as proof of legal identity, such as a passport, national identity card, or birth certificate.
Identity documents of India
Identity documents of India are official credentials issued by central and state authorities, including Aadhaar, PAN, and voter ID, though most do not by themselves prove Indian citizenship.
IDx-DR
IDx-DR is an autonomous AI diagnostic system that detects diabetic retinopathy from retinal photographs; renamed LumineticsCore in 2023, it was the first autonomous AI diagnostic cleared by the FDA in 2018.
IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems
The IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems is an IEEE Standards Association program, launched in 2016, that embeds ethics in AI design.
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing
The IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) is the flagship technical conference of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, first held in Philadelphia in 1976.
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI) is a monthly peer-reviewed journal published by the IEEE Computer Society since 1979, covering computer vision, pattern analysis, and machine learning.
Image analysis
Image analysis, also called automated image analysis, is the computer extraction of meaningful information from digital images, underpinning industrial inspection, satellite mapping, and medical diagnosis.
Image captioning
Image captioning is the AI task of generating a natural-language sentence that describes an image, bridging computer vision and natural language processing since the 2014 Show and Tell model.
Image classification
Image classification is the computer vision task of assigning a whole image to one category label, and since 2012 the standard benchmark for deep learning models.
Image compression
Image compression is the set of methods for representing digital images in fewer bits, divided into lossless methods like PNG and lossy methods like JPEG, which achieve roughly 10:1 to 20:1 size reductions.
Image deblurring
Image deblurring is the task of recovering a sharp image from one degraded by blur, modeled as convolution with a blur kernel, split into non-blind and blind deblurring.
Image dehazing
Image dehazing is a computer vision method that removes haze and fog from a photograph by inverting atmospheric scattering, recovering a clearer image with higher contrast.
Image denoising
Image denoising is the task of recovering a clean image from a noisy one, one of the oldest and most studied problems in image processing.
Image forgery detection
Image forgery detection, also called image authentication or image integrity verification, determines whether a digital image was altered, and in its localization form identifies which pixels were manipulated.
Image fusion
Image fusion is a computational imaging method that combines complementary information from several images of the same scene into one image, supporting pan-sharpening, change detection, and medical imaging.
Image hashing
Image hashing converts an image into a compact binary code so perceptually similar images receive similar codes, unlike cryptographic hashes, which change completely with any single input bit.
Image inpainting
Image inpainting reconstructs missing or corrupted regions of an image, named in a 2000 SIGGRAPH paper and later transformed by deep learning and diffusion models.
Image matting
Image matting is the computer vision task of estimating each pixel's foreground opacity and color, so the foreground can be composited onto a new background in image and video editing.
Image quality assessment
Image quality assessment (IQA) measures how faithfully an image represents its subject, using metrics such as PSNR and SSIM, plus no-reference models like BRISQUE and NIQE.
Image quantization
Image quantization is a digital image processing method that reduces the number of distinct colors or intensity levels in an image, so it can be stored with fewer bits.
