Human Brain Magic!!!


• Humans are very good at making judgment calls.

• Reasoning leads to judgment.

• But not very good at analyzing volumes of data.

• Especially given the amount of data we are collecting….

Judgment Calls!


“All the problems of the world

could be settled easily if men were

only willing to think.” - Thomas J.

What is Watson?


• Natural Language – Read/listen and understand natural

language. This means it can read documents, articles, blogs,

etc.

• Dynamic learning – Gets smarter with interacting with experts.

• Hypothesis generations – Scores hypothesis and confidence

metric.

• Cognitive Thinking – Process information more like human

than a computer.

• Data discovery - pull in data, analyze it and figure out whether

it is good quality data

Watson – in healthcare

• 90% of worlds data is created in last 2 years.

• 80% of today’s data is NOT structured.

• 1 Trillion connected devices produce 2.5 Quintillion bytes of

data/day.

• 83% of CIOs indicate that the need for BI and analytics on this is

impossible.

• 700K new articles by National Library of Medicine by 2010.

• Physicians limited to 3-5 hours of reading per week.

• Not enough time to read journals, developments, new drugs, side

effects.

• You can’t continue to use pharma rep as your trusted advisor
