The North Face uses IBM’s Watson to make online shopping smarter<\/strong><\/a> — from thestreet.com by Rebecca Borison<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Aiming to solve one of e-commerce’s challenges of not offering personalized service, VF Corp’s “The North Face” on Monday launched a new online shopping tool using IBM’s Watson artificial intelligence system.<\/p>\n

The tool, which is powered by Fluid<\/a> and called XPS<\/a>, guides a consumer through the online store to better find what he or she is looking for.<\/p>\n

E-commerce today doesn’t generally give the personal attention a consumer might get when he walks into a store and is greeted by a human being. This new tool seeks to address that challenge.<\/p>\n
