Overview of this book

IBM Watson provides fast, intelligent insight in ways that the human brain simply can't match. Through eight varied projects, this book will help you explore the computing and analytical capabilities of IBM Watson. The book begins by refreshing your knowledge of IBM Watson's basic data preparation capabilities, such as adding and exploring data to prepare it for being applied to models. The projects covered in this book can be developed for different industries, including banking, healthcare, media, and security. These projects will enable you to develop an AI mindset and guide you in developing smart data-driven projects, including automating supply chains, analyzing sentiment in social media datasets, and developing personalized recommendations. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to develop solutions for process automation, and you'll be able to make better data-driven decisions to deliver an excellent customer experience.

The problem defined

The technical definition of pattern recognition is as follows: the calling out or identification (recognition) of patterns and regularities in data based on prior knowledge or the information extracted from the pattern.

Pattern recognition is considered by some to be a mature but still exciting and fast developing field, underpinning developments in cognitive fields such as computer vision, image processing, text, document analysis, and even neural networks.

The discipline of pattern recognition is continuing to find applications in fast-emerging areas every day.

Using data in this way is important, in that it provides insightful analytics to help align both recruitment efforts as well as coaching and team strategies aimed at the creation of successful—or winning—teams.

How will this work? Let's think about a similar problem.
