GVU Center Brown Bag Seminar: Ashok Goel and the GT Watson Research Group

January 28, 2016 Abstract: GT Watson is a set of cognitive systems designed, developed and deployed at Georgia Tech on top of IBM's Watson cognitive system. It includes cognitive systems for question answering in support of biologically inspired design, ecological modeling, and education and training in artificial intelligence. GT Watson adds layers of semantic processing to Watson and explores the use of external data sources. For example, in the project on ecological modeling, it exploits Smithsonian Institution's Encyclopedia of Life, the world's largest database of biological species. In this team talk, we will present several instances of GT Watson .
