18. Now here comes the question how
Watson learns something ?

19. Watson is “Cognitive Computing”
• Cognitive computing
systems learn and
interact naturally with
people to extend what
either humans or
machine could do on
their own.
• They help human
experts make better
decisions by penetrating
the complexity of Big
Data.

20. How human learns ?
OBSERVE
1 INTERPRET
2 EVALUATE
3 DECIDE
4

21. Watson uses the same methods for learning
