The company is engaged researchers and entrepreneurs to find commercial uses for the technology and progress. David Ferrucci, IBM Fellow who heads the project today, Big IBM Watson Conference on research data that is especially promising on the health of a group of reporters and analysts said. IBM Columbia University and the University of Maryland in collaboration with researchers and practitioners to develop applications. Meanwhile, only three months to adapt to threat researchers at Watson! Database for the medical field. Presumably, other areas are relatively easy to adjust, too.
But affordability is a big problem. Watson computer jargon "embarrassing parallel", the high-performance microprocessors is to use thousands of machines. Equality embarrassing expensive.

During the exhibition form a break, I asked colleagues and IBM Ferrucci on the question of affordability. Ferrucci response that the cost of computing decreases rapidly, and Watson Forum, which is affordable for every customer can serve more industries and applications.

Rod Smith, IBM, the IBM Emerging Internet Technologies Research Group led by another member that would be a more important user interface simplicity. If IBM can develop user-friendly interface, customers rapid return on investment of the technology and adopting an increasingly receive. Therefore, if the service is relatively expensive, it is worth the price.

Another important capability offered by Watson shared cloud computing services as is the creation of services for specific industries. Thus, many customers use the same applications and computing resources themselves so that services with high efficiency.

It was only three months after the crisis! After the competition, but it is clear that Watson is a life-threat machine! If you improve in the coming months we can play an important role in the world will know.
