Interview with Jonathan Kaufman
summary
IBM breaks Watson into 15 discrete APIs and runs them on Bluemix over SoftLayer so developers can bind Watson as a service to apps. Recent work ingests patient histories and new journals with partners Sloan Kettering and Cleveland Clinic to surface treatment suggestions and drug interactions; the system returns confidence-ranked recommendations rather than verdicts. Privacy and opt-in for personal data are explicit design points, and search and shopping apps get taste-aware ranking experiments.
