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.

Reviewing the results

We have come to the section of the chapter—and the phase of the project—when we finish reviewing the output generated by Watson Analytics, hopefully identify several insights, and try to draw a reasonable conclusion.

We started with a pretty clear assumption: if our team is looking to recruit for the wide receiver (WR) position, we may not be interested in a prospect's body weight, but height may be important; and perhaps a prospect's recorded time in the 40-yard dash may outshine their performance in the bench press drill. We've already done some exploring and reviewing at this point, so let's see if the data agrees with that assumption.

During our explorations, we gathered insights such as height and weight by position, as well as specific averages for these physical statistics for players playing WR. We also generated...
