The series includes the following volumes: , SG24-8387 Volume 1 Getting Started , SG24-8394 Volume 2 Conversation , SG24-8393 Volume 3 Visual Recognition , SG24-8391 Volume 4 Natural Language Classifier , SG24-8392 Volume 5 Language Translator , SG24-8388 Volume 6 Speech to Text and Text to Speech , SG24-8398 Volume 7 Natural Language Understanding Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, this collection provides the information you need to start your research on Watson services. If your goal is to become more familiar with Watson in relation to your current environment, or if you are evaluating cognitive computing, this collection can serve as a powerful learning tool. This IBM Redbooks® publication, Volume 1, introduces cognitive computing, its motivating factors, history, and basic concepts. This volume describes the industry landscape for cognitive computing and introduces Watson, the cognitive computing offering from IBM. It also describes the nature of the question-answering (QA) challenge that is represented by the Jeopardy! quiz game and it provides a high-level overview of the QA system architecture (DeepQA), developed for Watson to play the game. This volume charts the evolution of the Watson Developer Cloud, from the initial DeepQA implementation. This book also introduces the concept of domain adaptation and the processes that must be followed to adapt the various Watson services to specific domains.
