Cognitive Systems (‘
Cognitive Systems (‘kognɪtɪv sistem’) - Applying human-like
characteristics to conveying and manipulating ideas, that when
combined with the inherent strengths of digital computing can
help users address problems with higher accuracy, more resilience,
and on a massive scale over very large bodes of information
Watson is a Cognitive System
‒ Teases apart the human language
to identify inferences between text

‒ Can demonstrate human-like accuracy
‒ Performs at speeds far faster, and at

Hard Questions?
Computer programs are natively explicit, fast and exacting in their calculation
over numbers and symbols….But Natural Language is implicit, highly
contextual, ambiguous and often imprecise.

Our Focus is on reusable NLP technology for analyzing volumes of as-is text.
Structured sources (DBs and KBs) are used to help interpret the text.
We do NOT attempt to anticipate all questions and build specialized databases.
In a random sample of 20,000 questions we found
2,500 distinct types*. The most frequent occurring <3% of the time.
The distribution has a very long tail.
And for each these types 1000’s of different things may be asked.

Deep Analytics – Combining many analytics in a novel
architecture, we achieved very high levels of Precision and
Confidence over a huge variety of as-is content.
Speed – By optimizing Watson’s computation for
Jeopardy! on over 2,800 POWER7 processing cores we
went from 2 hours per question on a single CPU to an
average of just 3 seconds.
Results – in 55 real-time sparring games against former
Tournament of Champion Players last year, Watson put
on a very competitive performance in all games -- placing
1st in 71% of the them!

How does it work?
Interprets and answers user questions directly based on
primary data sources (brochures, web pages, manuals,
records, etc.) that have been selected and gathered into a
body of data or ‘corpus’. The service returns candidate
responses with associated confidence levels and links to
supporting evidence.
Use Cases
Healthcare: What is a stroke? What is the cause of
Wilson Disease?
Travel: Where is the best place to stay in Prague?
Input: Your questions.
Output: List of passages and confidence scores

TPDEV
Uncover a deeper understanding of people's personality
characteristics, needs, and values to drive personalization
How does it work?
Personality Insights extracts and analyzes a spectrum of personality
attributes to help discover actionable insights about people and entities,
and in turn guides end users to highly personalized interactions. The
service outputs personality characteristics that are divided into three
dimensions: the Big 5, Values, and Needs. While some services are
contextually specific depending on the domain model and content,
Personality Insights only requires a minimum of 3500+ words of any
text.
Use Cases
The service can analyze text based on a customer’s twitter stream to
help a travel agency decide between leading with a budget or luxury
trip offer
Anywhere improving a customer engagement can help create an
organization differentiate itself.
Input:
Output: Portrait API returns a JSON

TPDEV
Translate and publish content in multiple
languages
How does it work?
The Watson Language Translation service provides
domain-specific translation utilizing Statistical Machine
Translation techniques that have been perfected in our
research labs over the past few decades. Currently, three
domains are available that provide translation among a
total of seven languages. For best results, a domain that
matches the content to be translated should be chosen.
Use Cases
A French speaking help desk representative is assisting a
Portuguese speaking customer through a chat session
and is able to interact through the translation service
Input: plain text
Output: plain text in selected language
Language Translation

TPDEV
Rules-based user response system. Script conversations
any way you like to answer questions, walk through
processes, or just to chat!
How does it work?
The IBM Watson Dialog service enables a developer to automate
branching conversations between a user and your application. The
Dialog service enables your applications to use natural language to
automatically respond to user questions, cross-sell and up-sell,
walk users through processes or applications, or even hand-hold
users through difficult tasks. The Dialog service can track and store
user profile information to learn more about end users, guide
them through processes based on their unique situation, or pass
their information to a back-end system to help them take action
and get the help they need.
Use Cases
Walk a user through the steps to reset their password or help
them choose a credit card. Developers script conversations as they
would happen in the real world, upload them to the Dialog
application and allow end users to get the help they need
Dialog

TPDEV
Link euphemisms or colloquial terms to more
commonly understood phrases
How does it work?
Concept Expansion is a Watson service that analyzes large
amounts of text to create a dictionary of contextually
related words. Concept Expansion's pattern recognition
technology helps users identify contextually similar terms
and phrases, create dictionaries, and find or organize text
based on those dictionaries. It knows that 'The Big Apple'
refers to New York City and that 'getting in touch' means
communicating by email, letter, or phone.
Use Cases
Concept Expansion can be used to build dictionaries of
conceptually related words across large amounts of
unstructured data in multiple domains such as financial
services, legal, medical etc.
Input: List of terms to
start seed list and a fixed
fata set.
Output: Ranked list of similar terms found
within the fixed data set
Concept Expansion

TPDEV
Extracts relationships between different text
entities
How does it work?
Unlike general-purpose text analytics tools, Relationship
Extraction leverages Watson machine learning
technologies. The API can analyze news articles and use
statistical modeling to perform linguistic analysis of the
input text. It then finds spans of text and clusters them
together to form entities, before finally extracting the
relationships between them.
Use Cases
Relationship Extraction can be used to build
applications such as semantic search engines, business
and competitive intelligence tools, knowledge graphs,
social media monitoring tools, and more.
Can be used in business and competitive intelligence
to find information about competitors’ products in the
news
Useful for brand management; helps find information
about your own products
Input: News articles.
Output: XML document displaying the relationships
