What is Watson?


IBM Watson is a cognitive system enabling a new partnership between people and computers.

Watson is a technology platform that uses natural language processing and machine learning to reveal insights from large amounts of unstructured data.

Unlike typical computers, Watson can unlock the vast world of unstructured data that makes up as much as 80 percent of existing information today. Watson knows that all data is not created equal. It’s able to distinguish between different kinds of information. It culls relevant data from disparate sources, and it creates hypotheses and continually tests them in order to narrow in on the most reliable and accurate results. Because Watson can read, analyze, and learn from natural language, just as humans can, it can make the sorts of informed, context-specific decisions we would expect from a person, as opposed to a search engine.
