IBM Watson

IBM Watson is a computer system capable of

IBM Watson
answering questions posed in natural language.[1] It
was developed as a part of IBM's DeepQA project by a
research team, led by principal investigator David
Ferrucci.[2] Watson was named after IBM's founder
and first CEO, industrialist Thomas J. Watson.[3][4]

The computer system was initially developed to

answer questions on the popular quiz show

Description
Watson was created as a question answering (QA) computing
system that IBM built to apply advanced natural language
processing, information retrieval, knowledge representation,
automated reasoning, and machine learning technologies to the
field of open domain question answering.[1]

IBM stated that Watson uses "more than 100 different techniques The high-level architecture of IBM's
to analyze natural language, identify sources, find and generate DeepQA used in Watson[9]
hypotheses, find and score evidence, and merge and rank
hypotheses."[10]

In recent years, Watson's capabilities have been extended and the way in which Watson works has been
changed to take advantage of new deployment models (Watson on IBM Cloud), evolved machine
learning capabilities, and optimized hardware available to developers and researchers.

Software
Watson uses IBM's DeepQA software and the Apache UIMA (Unstructured Information Management
Architecture) framework implementation. The system was written in various languages, including Java,
C++, and Prolog, and runs on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 operating system using the Apache
Hadoop framework to provide distributed computing.[11][12][13]

Hardware
The system is workload-optimized, integrating massively parallel POWER7 processors and built on
IBM's DeepQA technology,[14] which it uses to generate hypotheses, gather massive evidence, and
analyze data.[1] Watson employs a cluster of ninety IBM Power 750 servers, each of which uses a
3.5 GHz POWER7 eight-core processor, with four threads per core. In total, the system uses 2,880
POWER7 processor threads and 16 terabytes of RAM.[14]

According to John Rennie, Watson can process 500 gigabytes (the equivalent of a million books) per
second.[15] IBM master inventor and senior consultant Tony Pearson estimated Watson's hardware cost at
about three million dollars.[16] Its Linpack performance stands at 80 TeraFLOPs, which is about half as
fast as the cut-off line for the Top 500 Supercomputers list.[17] According to Rennie, all content was
stored in Watson's RAM for the Jeopardy game because data stored on hard drives would be too slow to
compete with human Jeopardy champions.[15]

Data
The sources of information for Watson include encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauri, newswire articles
and literary works. Watson also used databases, taxonomies and ontologies including DBPedia, WordNet
and Yago.[18] The IBM team provided Watson with millions of documents, including dictionaries,
encyclopedias and other reference material, that it could use to build its knowledge.[19]

Operation
Watson parses questions into different keywords and sentence fragments in order to find statistically
related phrases.[19] Watson's main innovation was not in the creation of a new algorithm for this
operation, but rather its ability to quickly execute hundreds of proven language analysis algorithms
simultaneously.[19][20] The more algorithms that find the same answer independently, the more likely
Watson is to be correct. Once Watson has a small number of potential solutions, it is able to check against
its database to ascertain whether the solution makes sense or not.[19]

Comparison with human players

Watson's basic working principle is to parse keywords in a clue while searching for related terms as
responses. This gives Watson some advantages and disadvantages compared with human Jeopardy!
players.[21] Watson has deficiencies in understanding the context of the clues. Watson can read, analyze,
and learn from natural language, which gives it the ability to make human-like decisions.[22] As a result,
human players usually generate responses faster than Watson, especially to short clues.[19] Watson's
programming prevents it from using the popular tactic of buzzing before it is sure of its response.[19]
However, Watson has consistently better reaction time on the
buzzer once it has generated a response, and is immune to human
players' psychological tactics, such as jumping between categories
on every clue.[19][23]

In a sequence of 20 mock games of Jeopardy!, human participants

were able to use the six to seven seconds that Watson needed to
Ken Jennings, Watson, and Brad
hear the clue and decide whether to signal for responding.[19]
Rutter in their Jeopardy! exhibition
During that time, Watson also has to evaluate the response and match
determine whether it is sufficiently confident in the result to
signal.[19] Part of the system used to win the Jeopardy! contest
was the electronic circuitry that receives the "ready" signal and then examines whether Watson's
confidence level was great enough to activate the buzzer. Given the speed of this circuitry compared to
the speed of human reaction times, Watson's reaction time was faster than the human contestants except
when the human anticipated (instead of reacted to) the ready signal.[24] After signaling, Watson speaks
with an electronic voice and gives the responses in Jeopardy!'s question format.[19] Watson's voice was
synthesized from recordings that actor Jeff Woodman made for an IBM text-to-speech program in
2004.[25]

The Jeopardy! staff used different means to notify Watson and the human players when to buzz,[24] which
was critical in many rounds.[23] The humans were notified by a light, which took them tenths of a second
to perceive.[26][27] Watson was notified by an electronic signal and could activate the buzzer within about
eight milliseconds.[28] The humans tried to compensate for the perception delay by anticipating the
light,[29] but the variation in the anticipation time was generally too great to fall within Watson's response
time.[23] Watson did not attempt to anticipate the notification signal.[27][29]

History

Development
Since Deep Blue's victory over Garry Kasparov in chess in 1997, IBM had been on the hunt for a new
challenge. In 2004, IBM Research manager Charles Lickel, over dinner with coworkers, noticed that the
restaurant they were in had fallen silent. He soon discovered the cause of this evening's hiatus: Ken
Jennings, who was then in the middle of his successful 74-game run on Jeopardy!. Nearly the entire
restaurant had piled toward the televisions, mid-meal, to watch Jeopardy!. Intrigued by the quiz show as a
possible challenge for IBM, Lickel passed the idea on, and in 2005, IBM Research executive Paul Horn
supported Lickel, pushing for someone in his department to take up the challenge of playing Jeopardy!
with an IBM system. Though he initially had trouble finding any research staff willing to take on what
looked to be a much more complex challenge than the wordless game of chess, eventually David Ferrucci
took him up on the offer.[30] In competitions managed by the United States government, Watson's
predecessor, a system named Piquant, was usually able to respond correctly to only about 35% of clues
and often required several minutes to respond.[31][32][33] To compete successfully on Jeopardy!, Watson
would need to respond in no more than a few seconds, and at that time, the problems posed by the game
show were deemed to be impossible to solve.[19]
In initial tests run during 2006 by David Ferrucci, the senior manager of IBM's Semantic Analysis and
Integration department, Watson was given 500 clues from past Jeopardy! programs. While the best real-
life competitors buzzed in half the time and responded correctly to as many as 95% of clues, Watson's
first pass could get only about 15% correct. During 2007, the IBM team was given three to five years and
a staff of 15 people to solve the problems.[19] John E. Kelly III succeeded Paul Horn as head of IBM
Research in 2007.[34] InformationWeek described Kelly as "the father of Watson" and credited him for
encouraging the system to compete against humans on Jeopardy!.[35] By 2008, the developers had
advanced Watson such that it could compete with Jeopardy! champions.[19] By February 2010, Watson
could beat human Jeopardy! contestants on a regular basis.[36]

During the game, Watson had access to 200 million pages of structured and unstructured content
consuming four terabytes of disk storage[11] including the full text of the 2011 edition of Wikipedia,[37]
but was not connected to the Internet.[38][19] For each clue, Watson's three most probable responses were
displayed on the television screen. Watson consistently outperformed its human opponents on the game's
signaling device, but had trouble in a few categories, notably those having short clues containing only a
few words.

Although the system is primarily an IBM effort, Watson's development involved faculty and graduate
students from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Massachusetts
Amherst, the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute, the University of Texas
at Austin, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Trento,[9] as well as students
from New York Medical College.[39] Among the team of IBM programmers who worked on Watson was
2001 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? top prize winner Ed Toutant, who himself had appeared on
Jeopardy! in 1989 (winning one game).[40]

Jeopardy!

Preparation
In 2008, IBM representatives communicated with Jeopardy!
executive producer Harry Friedman about the possibility of having
Watson compete against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, two of the
most successful contestants on the show, and the program's
producers agreed.[19][41] Watson's differences with human players
had generated conflicts between IBM and Jeopardy! staff during
the planning of the competition.[21] IBM repeatedly expressed
concerns that the show's writers would exploit Watson's cognitive Watson demo at an IBM booth at a
deficiencies when writing the clues, thereby turning the game into trade show
a Turing test. To alleviate that claim, a third party randomly picked
the clues from previously written shows that were never
broadcast.[21] Jeopardy! staff also showed concerns over Watson's reaction time on the buzzer. Originally
Watson signaled electronically, but show staff requested that it press a button physically, as the human
contestants would.[42] Even with a robotic "finger" pressing the buzzer, Watson remained faster than its
human competitors. Ken Jennings noted, "If you're trying to win on the show, the buzzer is all", and that
Watson "can knock out a microsecond-precise buzz every single time with little or no variation. Human
reflexes can't compete with computer circuits in this regard."[23][29][43] Stephen Baker, a journalist who
recorded Watson's development in his book Final Jeopardy, reported that the conflict between IBM and
Jeopardy! became so serious in May 2010 that the competition was almost cancelled.[21] As part of the
preparation, IBM constructed a mock set in a conference room at one of its technology sites to model the
one used on Jeopardy!. Human players, including former Jeopardy! contestants, also participated in mock
games against Watson with Todd Alan Crain of The Onion playing host.[19] About 100 test matches were
conducted with Watson winning 65% of the games.[44]

To provide a physical presence in the televised games, Watson was represented by an "avatar" of a globe,
inspired by the IBM "smarter planet" symbol. Jennings described the computer's avatar as a "glowing
blue ball crisscrossed by 'threads' of thought—42 threads, to be precise",[45] and stated that the number of
thought threads in the avatar was an in-joke referencing the significance of the number 42 in Douglas
Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.[45] Joshua Davis, the artist who designed the avatar for the
project, explained to Stephen Baker that there are 36 trigger-able states that Watson was able to use
throughout the game to show its confidence in responding to a clue correctly; he had hoped to be able to
find forty-two, to add another level to the Hitchhiker's Guide reference, but he was unable to pinpoint
enough game states.[46]

A practice match was recorded on January 13, 2011, and the official matches were recorded on January
14, 2011. All participants maintained secrecy about the outcome until the match was broadcast in
February.[47]

Practice match
In a practice match before the press on January 13, 2011, Watson won a 15-question round against Ken
Jennings and Brad Rutter with a score of $4,400 to Jennings's $3,400 and Rutter's $1,200, though
Jennings and Watson were tied before the final $1,000 question. None of the three players responded
incorrectly to a clue.[48]

First match
The first round was broadcast February 14, 2011, and the second round, on February 15, 2011. The right
to choose the first category had been determined by a draw won by Rutter.[49] Watson, represented by a
computer monitor display and artificial voice, responded correctly to the second clue and then selected
the fourth clue of the first category, a deliberate strategy to find the Daily Double as quickly as
possible.[50] Watson's guess at the Daily Double location was correct. At the end of the first round,
Watson was tied with Rutter at $5,000; Jennings had $2,000.[49]

Watson's performance was characterized by some quirks. In one instance, Watson repeated a reworded
version of an incorrect response offered by Jennings. (Jennings said "What are the '20s?" in reference to
the 1920s. Then Watson said "What is 1920s?") Because Watson could not recognize other contestants'
responses, it did not know that Jennings had already given the same response. In another instance, Watson
was initially given credit for a response of "What is a leg?" after Jennings incorrectly responded "What is:
he only had one hand?" to a clue about George Eyser (the correct response was, "What is: he's missing a
leg?"). Because Watson, unlike a human, could not have been responding to Jennings's mistake, it was
decided that this response was incorrect. The broadcast version of the episode was edited to omit Trebek's
original acceptance of Watson's response.[51] Watson also demonstrated complex wagering strategies on
the Daily Doubles, with one bet at $6,435 and another at $1,246.[52] Gerald Tesauro, one of the IBM
researchers who worked on Watson, explained that Watson's wagers were based on its confidence level
for the category and a complex regression model called the Game State Evaluator.[53]
Watson took a commanding lead in Double Jeopardy!, correctly responding to both Daily Doubles.
Watson responded to the second Daily Double correctly with a 32% confidence score.[52]

However, during the Final Jeopardy! round, Watson was the only contestant to miss the clue in the
category U.S. Cities ("Its largest airport was named for a World War II hero; its second largest, for a
World War II battle"). Rutter and Jennings gave the correct response of Chicago, but Watson's response
was "What is Toronto?????" with five question marks appended indicating a lack of confidence.[52][54][55]
Ferrucci offered reasons why Watson would appear to have guessed a Canadian city: categories only
weakly suggest the type of response desired, the phrase "U.S. city" did not appear in the question, there
are cities named Toronto in the U.S., and Toronto in Ontario has an American League baseball team.[56]
Chris Welty, who also worked on Watson, suggested that it may not have been able to correctly parse the
second part of the clue, "its second largest, for a World War II battle" (which was not a standalone clause
despite it following a semicolon, and required context to understand that it was referring to a second-
largest airport).[57] Eric Nyberg, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and a member of the
development team, stated that the error occurred because Watson does not possess the comparative
knowledge to discard that potential response as not viable.[55] Although not displayed to the audience as
with non-Final Jeopardy! questions, Watson's second choice was Chicago. Both Toronto and Chicago
were well below Watson's confidence threshold, at 14% and 11% respectively. Watson wagered only $947
on the question.[58]

The game ended with Jennings with $4,800, Rutter with $10,400, and Watson with $35,734.[52]

Second match
During the introduction, Trebek (a Canadian native) joked that he had learned Toronto was a U.S. city,
and Watson's error in the first match prompted an IBM engineer to wear a Toronto Blue Jays jacket to the
recording of the second match.[59]

In the first round, Jennings was finally able to choose a Daily Double clue,[60] while Watson responded to
one Daily Double clue incorrectly for the first time in the Double Jeopardy! Round.[61] After the first
round, Watson placed second for the first time in the competition after Rutter and Jennings were briefly
successful in increasing their dollar values before Watson could respond.[61][62] Nonetheless, the final
result ended with a victory for Watson with a score of $77,147, besting Jennings who scored $24,000 and
Rutter who scored $21,600.[63]

Final outcome
The prizes for the competition were $1 million for first place (Watson), $300,000 for second place
(Jennings), and $200,000 for third place (Rutter). As promised, IBM donated 100% of Watson's winnings
to charity, with 50% of those winnings going to World Vision and 50% going to World Community
Grid.[64] Similarly, Jennings and Rutter donated 50% of their winnings to their respective charities.[65]

In acknowledgement of IBM and Watson's achievements, Jennings made an additional remark in his Final
Jeopardy! response: "I for one welcome our new computer overlords", paraphrasing a joke from The
Simpsons.[66][67] Jennings later wrote an article for Slate, in which he stated:
 IBM has bragged to the media that Watson's question-answering skills are good for more
than annoying Alex Trebek. The company sees a future in which fields like medical
diagnosis, business analytics, and tech support are automated by question-answering
software like Watson. Just as factory jobs were eliminated in the 20th century by new
assembly-line robots, Brad and I were the first knowledge-industry workers put out of work
by the new generation of 'thinking' machines. 'Quiz show contestant' may be the first job
made redundant by Watson, but I'm sure it won't be the last.[45]

Philosophy
Philosopher John Searle argues that Watson—despite impressive capabilities—cannot actually think.[68]
Drawing on his Chinese room thought experiment, Searle claims that Watson, like other computational
machines, is capable only of manipulating symbols, but has no ability to understand the meaning of those
symbols; however, Searle's experiment has its detractors.[69]

Match against members of the United States Congress

On February 28, 2011, Watson played an untelevised exhibition match of Jeopardy! against members of
the United States House of Representatives. In the first round, Rush D. Holt, Jr. (D-NJ, a former
Jeopardy! contestant), who was challenging the computer with Bill Cassidy (R-LA, later Senator from
Louisiana), led with Watson in second place. However, combining the scores between all matches, the
final score was $40,300 for Watson and $30,000 for the congressional players combined.[70]

IBM's Christopher Padilla said of the match, "The technology behind Watson represents a major
advancement in computing. In the data-intensive environment of government, this type of technology can
help organizations make better decisions and improve how government helps its citizens."[70]

Current and future applications

According to IBM, "The goal is to have computers start to interact in natural human terms across a range
of applications and processes, understanding the questions that humans ask and providing answers that
humans can understand and justify."[36] It has been suggested by Robert C. Weber, IBM's general
counsel, that Watson may be used for legal research.[71] The company also intends to use Watson in other
information-intensive fields, such as telecommunications, financial services, and government.[72]

Watson is based on commercially available IBM Power 750 servers that have been marketed since
February 2010.[19]

Commentator Rick Merritt said that "there's another really important reason why it is strategic for IBM to
be seen very broadly by the American public as a company that can tackle tough computer problems. A
big slice of [IBM's profit] comes from selling to the U.S. government some of the biggest, most
expensive systems in the world."[73]

In 2013, it was reported that three companies were working with IBM to create apps embedded with
Watson technology. Fluid is developing an app for retailers, one called "The North Face", which is
designed to provide advice to online shoppers. Welltok is developing an app designed to give people
advice on ways to engage in activities to improve their health. MD Buyline is developing an app for the
purpose of advising medical institutions on equipment procurement decisions.[74][75]

In November 2013, IBM announced it would make Watson's API available to software application
providers, enabling them to build apps and services that are embedded in Watson's capabilities. To build
out its base of partners who create applications on the Watson platform, IBM consults with a network of
venture capital firms, which advise IBM on which of their portfolio companies may be a logical fit for
what IBM calls the Watson Ecosystem. Thus far, roughly 800 organizations and individuals have signed
up with IBM, with interest in creating applications that could use the Watson platform.[76]

On January 30, 2013, it was announced that Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute would receive a successor
version of Watson, which would be housed at the institute's technology park and be available to
researchers and students.[77] By summer 2013, Rensselaer had become the first university to receive a
Watson computer.[78]

On February 6, 2014, it was reported that IBM plans to invest $100 million in a 10-year initiative to use
Watson and other IBM technologies to help countries in Africa address development problems, beginning
with healthcare and education.[79]

On June 3, 2014, three new Watson Ecosystem partners were chosen from more than 400 business
concepts submitted by teams spanning 18 industries from 43 countries. "These bright and enterprising
organizations have discovered innovative ways to apply Watson that can deliver demonstrable business
benefits", said Steve Gold, vice president, IBM Watson Group. The winners were Majestyk Apps with
their adaptive educational platform, FANG (Friendly Anthropomorphic Networked Genome);[80][81] Red
Ant with their retail sales trainer;[82] and GenieMD[83] with their medical recommendation service.[84]

On July 9, 2014, Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories announced plans to integrate Watson to

improve their customer experience platform, citing the sheer volume of customer data to analyze.[85]

Watson has been integrated with databases including Bon Appétit magazine to perform a recipe
generating platform.[86]

Watson is being used by Decibel, a music discovery startup, in its app MusicGeek which uses the
supercomputer to provide music recommendations to its users. The use of Watson has also been found in
the hospitality industry. Go Moment uses Watson for its Rev1 app, which gives hotel staff a way to
quickly respond to questions from guests.[87] Arria NLG has built an app that helps energy companies
stay within regulatory guidelines, making it easier for managers to make sense of thousands of pages of
legal and technical jargon.

OmniEarth, Inc. uses Watson computer vision services to analyze satellite and aerial imagery, along with
other municipal data, to infer water usage on a property-by-property basis, helping districts in California
improve water conservation efforts.[88]

In September 2016, Condé Nast started using Watson to help build and strategize social influencer
campaigns for brands. Using software built by IBM and Influential, Condé Nast's clients will be able to
know which influencer's demographics, personality traits and more best align with a marketer and the
audience it is targeting.[89]
In February 2017, Rare Carat, a New York City-based startup and e-commerce platform for buying
diamonds and diamond rings, introduced an IBM Watson-powered chatbot called "Rocky" to assist
novice diamond buyers through the daunting process of purchasing a diamond. As part of the IBM Global
Entrepreneur Program, Rare Carat received the assistance of IBM in the development of the Rocky Chat
Bot.[90][91][92] In May 2017, IBM partnered with the Pebble Beach Company to use Watson as a
concierge.[93] Watson technology was added to an app developed by Pebble Beach and was used to guide
visitors around the resort. The mobile app was designed by IBM iX and hosted on the IBM Cloud. It uses
Watson's Conversation applications programming interface.

In November 2017, in Mexico City, the Experience Voices of Another Time was opened at the National
Museum of Anthropology using IBM Watson as an alternative to visiting a museum.[94]

Healthcare
In healthcare, Watson has been used to analyze medical data and assist doctors in making diagnoses and
treatment decisions, including in areas such as oncology and radiology.[95] Watson's natural language,
hypothesis generation, and evidence-based learning capabilities are being investigated to see how Watson
may contribute to clinical decision support systems.[96] To aid physicians in the treatment of their
patients, once a physician has posed a query to the system describing symptoms and other related factors,
Watson first parses the input to identify the most important pieces of information; then mines patient data
to find facts relevant to the patient's medical and hereditary history; then examines available data sources
to form and test hypotheses;[96] and finally provides a list of individualized, confidence-scored
recommendations.[97] The sources of data that Watson uses for analysis can include treatment guidelines,
electronic medical record data, notes from healthcare providers, research materials, clinical studies,
journal articles and patient information.[96] Despite being developed and marketed as a "diagnosis and
treatment advisor", Watson has never been actually involved in the medical diagnosis process, only in
assisting with identifying treatment options for patients who have already been diagnosed.[98] An analysis
of 1,000 difficult patient cases reviewed by cancer researcher Ned Sharpless found that Watson made the
same recommendations as human doctors in 99% of cases.[99]

In February 2011, it was announced that IBM would be partnering with Nuance Communications for a
research project to develop a commercial product during the next 18 to 24 months, designed to exploit
Watson's clinical decision support capabilities. Physicians at Columbia University would help to identify
critical issues in the practice of medicine where the system's technology may be able to contribute, and
physicians at the University of Maryland would work to identify the best way that a technology like
Watson could interact with medical practitioners to provide the maximum assistance.[100]

In September 2011, IBM and WellPoint (now Anthem) announced a partnership to utilize Watson to help
suggest treatment options to physicians.[101] Then, in February 2013, IBM and WellPoint gave Watson its
first commercial application, for utilization management decisions in lung cancer treatment at Memorial
Sloan–Kettering Cancer Center.[8]

IBM announced a partnership with Cleveland Clinic in October 2012. The company has sent Watson to
the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, where it will
increase its health expertise and assist medical professionals in treating patients. The medical facility will
utilize Watson's ability to store and process large quantities of information to help speed up and increase
the accuracy of the treatment process. "Cleveland Clinic's collaboration with IBM is exciting because it
offers us the opportunity to teach Watson to 'think' in ways that have the potential to make it a powerful
tool in medicine", said C. Martin Harris, MD, chief information officer of Cleveland Clinic.[102]

In 2013, IBM and MD Anderson Cancer Center began a pilot program to further the center's "mission to
eradicate cancer".[103][104] However, after spending $62 million, the project did not meet its goals and it
has been stopped.[105]

On February 8, 2013, IBM announced that oncologists at the Maine Center for Cancer Medicine and
Westmed Medical Group in New York have started to test Watson in an effort to recommend treatment for
lung cancer.[106]

On July 29, 2016, IBM and Manipal Hospitals[107][108][109] (a leading hospital chain in India) announced
the launch of IBM Watson for Oncology, for cancer patients. This product provides information and
insights to physicians and cancer patients to help them identify personalized, evidence-based cancer care
options. Manipal Hospitals is the second hospital[110] in the world to adopt this technology and first in the
world to offer it to patients online as an expert second opinion through their website.[107][111] Manipal
discontinued this contract in December 2018.

On January 7, 2017, IBM and Fukoku Mutual Life Insurance entered into a contract for IBM to deliver
analysis to compensation payouts via its IBM Watson Explorer AI, which resulted in the loss of 34 jobs.
The company said it would speed up compensation payout analysis via analyzing claims and medical
records, and increase productivity by 30%. The company also said it would save ¥140m in running
costs.[112]

Several startups in the healthcare space have been effectively using seven business model archetypes to
take solutions based on IBM Watson to the marketplace. These archetypes depends on the value generate
for the target user (e.g. patient focus vs. healthcare provider and payer focus) and value capturing
mechanisms (e.g. providing information or connecting stakeholders).[113]

By 2022, IBM Watson Health was generating about a billion dollars in annual gross revenue,[114] but was
facing a lack of profitability and increased competition. One expert assessed to CNN that "IBM was
clearly not gaining much traction in the healthcare market". A 2021 post from the Association for
Computing Machinery (ACM) titled "What Happened To Watson Health?" described the portfolio
management challenges of IBM Watson Health given the number of acquisitions involved in the Watson
Health division creation in 2015, as well as technical limitations that existed at the time regarding where
the Watson AI framework could be deployed.[115] In February 2021, the Wall Street Journal reported that
Watson Health was exploring a sale.[116] On January 21, 2022, IBM announced the sell-off of its Watson
Health unit to Francisco Partners.[117]

IBM Watson Group

On January 9, 2014, IBM announced it was creating a business unit around Watson, led by senior vice
president Michael Rhodin.[118] IBM Watson Group will have headquarters in New York City's Silicon
Alley and will employ 2,000 people. IBM has invested $1 billion to get the division going. Watson Group
will develop three new cloud-delivered services: Watson Discovery Advisor, Watson Engagement
Advisor, and Watson Explorer. Watson Discovery Advisor will focus on research and development
projects in pharmaceutical industry, publishing, and biotechnology, Watson Engagement Advisor will
focus on self-service applications using insights on the basis of natural language questions posed by
business users, and Watson Explorer will focus on helping enterprise users uncover and share data-driven
insights based on federated search more easily.[118] The company is also launching a $100 million
venture fund to spur application development for "cognitive" applications. According to IBM, the cloud-
delivered enterprise-ready Watson has seen its speed increase 24 times over—a 2,300 percent
improvement in performance and its physical size shrank by 90 percent—from the size of a master
bedroom to three stacked pizza boxes.[118] IBM CEO Virginia Rometty said she wants Watson to
generate $10 billion in annual revenue within ten years.[119] In 2017, IBM and MIT established a new
joint research venture in artificial intelligence. IBM invested $240 million to create the MIT–IBM Watson
AI Lab in partnership with MIT, which brings together researchers in academia and industry to advance
AI research, with projects ranging from computer vision and NLP to devising new ways to ensure that AI
systems are fair, reliable and secure.[120] In March 2018, IBM's CEO Ginni Rometty proposed "Watson's
Law," the "use of and application of business, smart cities, consumer applications and life in
general."[121]

Chefs Watson
Watson helped a team of chefs create five new poutines for the 2015 La Poutine Week food festival in
Toronto and Montreal. It analyzed the demographics and popular cuisines of the cities and drew from a
database of tens of thousands of recipes to create fusion pairings for each city.[122] IBM and Bon Appétit
magazine co-created an AI cooking app known as Chef Watson.[123]

Chatbot
Watson is being used via IBM partner program as a chatbot to provide the conversation for children's
toys.[124]

Building codes
In 2015, the engineering firm ENGEO created an online service via the IBM partner program named
GoFetchCode. GoFetchCode applies Watson's natural language processing and question-answering
capabilities to the International Code Council's model building codes.[125]

Teaching assistant
IBM Watson is being used for several projects relating to education, and has entered partnerships with
Pearson Education, Blackboard, Sesame Workshop and Apple.[126][127]

In its partnership with Pearson, Watson is being made available inside electronic text books to provide
natural language, one-on-one tutoring to students on the reading material.[128]

As an individual using the free Watson APIs available to the public, Ashok Goel, a professor at Georgia
Tech, used Watson to create a virtual teaching assistant to assist students in his class.[129] Initially, Goel
did not reveal the nature of "Jill", which was created with the help of a few students and IBM. Jill
answered questions where it had a 97% certainty of an accurate answer, with the remainder being
answered by human assistants.[130]
The research group of Sabri Pllana developed an assistant for learning parallel programming using the
IBM Watson.[131] A survey with a number of novice parallel programmers at the Linnaeus University
indicated that such assistants will be welcomed by students that learn parallel programming.

Weather forecasting
In August 2016, IBM announced it would be using Watson for weather forecasting.[132] Specifically, the
company announced they would use Watson to analyze data from over 200,000 Weather Underground
personal weather stations, as well as data from other sources, as a part of Project Deep Thunder.[133]

Fashion
IBM Watson together with Marchesa designed a dress that changed the colour of the fabric depending on
the mood of the audience. The dress lit up in different colours based on the sentiment of Tweets about the
dress. Tweets were passed through a Watson tone analyzer and then sent back to a small computer inside
the waist of the dress.[134]

Tax preparation
On February 5–6, 2017, tax preparation company H&R Block began nationwide use of a Watson-based
program.[135]

Advertising
In September 2017, IBM announced that with its acquisition of The Weather Company's advertising sales
division, and a partnership with advertising neural network Cognitiv, Watson will provide AI-powered
advertising solutions.[136][137][138]
