IBM Watson evaluation - is training data uploaded/saved to IBM servers?


Reading the documentation at https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/conversation-enhanced#local it states "Ensure that you have a Bluemix account. While you can do part of this deployment locally, you must still use Bluemix.". If I use a custom dataset will any of this data be sent to IBM's servers ?

Specifically I think im referring to step circled red ('Create or import training data') : enter image description here I plan to build a similar app to conversation-enhanced (https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/conversation-enhanced) but want to ensure local data will not be sent to IBM.


Solution

  • Yes, you will need to send data to IBM.

    If you are planning on using the IBM BlueMix services, then I recommend you read the terms of use, found here, to understand your full agreement:
