So What is Watson Anyway?

A good compact video on how IBM Watson works, and also how it is different from the 'rule based' expert systems methods we developed in the 90s.

In particular the natural language ingesting of resources like documents, images and expertise.  Also including learning as a natural part of its process, which should improve maintenance of expertise, and  its use in new contexts.

We should note that these are claims, and quite ambitious ones, so how well this works in practice remains to be seen.   Actively investigating.   Health care application tests are the most prominent ones today.
