Watson Architecture

Primary Search

  • Lucene and Indri search engine
  • Preprocessing generated keyword->text based documents
  • Keyword associated with found document added to candidate answer list
  • Primary Search extended with all synonyms

Hypothesis Generation

Unlike most sea animals, in the sea horse this pair of sense organs can move independently of one another

  • A Sea Horse can move its eyes independently.
  • A Sea Horse can move its ears independently.
  • A Sea Horse can move its skin independently.
  • A Sea Horse can move its nose independently.
  • A Sea Horse can move its tung independently.

Watson Architecture

Evidence Scoring

  • Generated Candidate Answer is
    • ESG'd
    • PAS'd
    • searched against corpus
    • LATs used to determine whether a candidate answer is an instance of the answer types

Evidence Scoring

Oncology Expert Advisor

Oncology Expert Advisor

  • Dynamic patient summary
  • Evidence-based treatment options
  • Care pathway advisory
  • N=400 historical patient cases
  • false-positive rate 2.9%
  • false-negative rate 0.4%
  • accuracy 82.6%
