What is IBM Watson Discovery?
IBM Watson Discovery is an advanced search and analytical tool that uses Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to automatically enrich the data ingested into the index. This provides a much better search experience when compared to traditional keyword-based search engines.
Give your developers, data scientists, and business users insight into your data like Keyword Extraction, Sentiment Analysis, Concept Tagging, Category Classification, Semantic Role Extraction, Emotion Analysis, Entity Extraction, and Relation Extraction.
IBM Watson Discovery is a cloud-based application hosted on the IBM Cloud. The costs vary, as with most cloud service, but there is a free tier that we will use in this course.
