Watson Does Research with Recipes

In MIT Tech Review:  Intelligence for research.  The model of food recipe construction and how it might be applied to other questions. Again, in our own experimentation in this field, we used models of interaction, plus rule based knowledge plus databases plus numeric algorithms to provide real value to the enterprise.   A recipe is just a tailored script you are trying to construct.  We were doing that with coffee blends.  Saved millions.  Not so different from recipe construction and delivery as a final product.
