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.

Summary

In this chapter, we introduced the idea of blending patient history data with data sourced from dialogs between a physician and a patient. We then went through the process that is required to create an IBM Watson Analytics project so that you can use Watson to gain a better understanding of the provided data, establish a project objective, use Watson Analytics to create a prediction based upon the data, and finally construct a Watson story to share the insights that you gained.

In the next chapter, you will learn about sentiment analysis, using Watson Analytics to automatically analyze and categorize text posted to social media in an attempt to determine an audience's feeling about a topic.
