Vertex AI vs. IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding

In my regular activity, Vertex AI is missing some of the True Positive Alerts due to the ML training and needs to train more data sets, after it has reduced the false positives. To find the Zero day Vulnerability it has low accuracy and sometimes it misses the true positives. Once we have trained with the large data set, it came up with good results.

IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding is a Swiss Army knife that can be used in many scenarios. An extensive list of easy to use APIs is provided making it very easy to integrate it in any environment. The text analysis is decent and above market average. It generates results in many forms to suit may scenarios (important keywords, concepts, sentiment analysis, etc.).

• Vertex AI comes with support for LOTs of LLMs out of the box
• MLOps tools are available that help to standardize operational aspects
• Document AI is an out of the box feature that works just perfectly for our use cases of automating lots to tedious data extraction tasks from images as well as papers

Incentivized

• Easy to use and extensive APIs.
• Decent accuracy.
• It recognizes concepts and semantic roles.

Incentivized

• Customization of AutoML models - A must needed capability to be able to tweak hyperparameters and also working with different models
• Model Explainability -Providing more comprehensive explanations about how models are utilizing features could be very beneficial
• Model versioning and experiments tracking - Enhancing the versioning capability could be good for end users

Incentivized

• Improve Sentiment Analysis accuracy.
• Prevent having conflicting results (sad and happy, etc.).
• Foreign names detection.

Google is always top notch with their security and user interface performance. We use Google's entire suite in our business anyways, so using Vertex became second nature very quickly. I will say, though, that Google does need to come down on the price somewhat with their token allocation. Also, their UI is very robust, so it does require some time for training to really master it.

We tend to adapt and use the platform that suits the customers needs the best. We return to Vertex AI because it is the most in-depth option out there so we can configure it any which way they want. However, it is not quick to market and constantly changing or updating it's feature-set. This makes it suitable for bigger customers that have the capital and time to spend on a bigger project that is well researched and not quick to market like some of the other options that feel like a light-version of this.

• It is pay as you go model so it'll save more cost of your org. In our case previously we used to incurred 1-2L/Month now we are reduced it to 80k-1L.
• It'll help you save your model training & model selection time as it provides pre-trained models in autoML.
• It'll help you in terms of Security wherein we can use row level security access to authorized persons.

Incentivized

• Reduced development time.
• Increased solution efficiency in understanding the user.
• Increased solution scalability.
