Which technology sits behind Watson?
How Watson works:
Understands natural language
• Example: Last night I shot an elephant in my pyjamas
• Ambiguity of language
• Context provides meaning
Reasons by generating and evaluating
evidence-based hypothesis
• Find deep rationale for given answers
• Asks for additional information to improve responses
• Different than Google: move from basic search to discover
Learns from experts and through data
• Ingests and analyses domain sources
• Generates evidence-based decisions with confidence
• Learns with each new action and outcome
