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 focused on pattern recognition and using Watson Analytics to identify regularities in data, in an effort to (automatically) positionally classify athletes based upon the provided data. We made some preliminary assumptions, based upon a peek at the player statistics data provided, loaded it into Watson Analytics, created a prediction, and ultimately aligned the outcomes with our original assumptions.

In the next chapter, we will introduce the concept of personalized recommendations and the use of Watson to create a specialized plan through conversations. In that chapter, the objective will be to create an individualized plan based upon characteristics found within a pool of data.
