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

Finally, at this stage in the project, we should have already created and reviewed a reasonable number of visualizations, and hopefully gained insights not previously known that will help us prepare a more accurate product revenue forecast.

In this project, we might not be so interested in sharing assets with colleagues as much as wanting to just use the information and insights gained in creating the product forecast we are responsible for. To that point, we most likely would not use the Watson Analytics Assemble features (as we have done in previous chapter projects).

Although we might not use Assemble, the Exploration can be saved so that we can keep those views and visualizations that we feel are valuable enough to us and that we can use regularly to prepare future forecasts. The following is a simple example.

If we have asked the following question...
