The supercomputer named Watson was a big hit last year when it became famous for beating two Jeopardy! champions. By using its IBM natural language processor, it perused its vast reams of knowledge to respond the oral questions. Now, Watson will help medical students at Cleveland Clinic analyze medical problems and develop evidence-based solutions. By using its base of medical knowledge, it will be a valuable partner to medical students. In return, students will help improve Watson's language and domain analysis capabilities.
