Overview
Reveal unseen insights in your data
IBM Watson® Discovery makes it possible to rapidly build cognitive, cloud-based exploration applications that surface unseen and actionable insights hidden in unstructured data with features powered by natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning.
Features
Understands your document structure
Smart Document Understanding (SDU) is a visual machine learning tool that enables users to label text so that the tool builds an understanding of critical components inside your enterprise documents, such as headers, tables and more. Once you annotate a few pages of your documents, SDU can teach itself the rest, retrieving answers and information only from relevant content.
Delivers passages as answers
Traditional enterprise search engines perform keyword searches and provide end-users with links to documents. But with Watson Discovery, you’ll get specific passages that possess the relevant information and its source documents using semantic search. The design of this platform ensures that all the information you need is easily accessible.
Surfaces insights with text mining
Content mining uses natural language processing to understand context and relationships in text. As a result, search across your documents to surface patterns, trends, anomalies, and the evolution of elements in your content in near real-time.
Offers NLP enrichments
The platform’s out-of-the-box NLP enrichments include entity extraction, sentiment analysis, emotion analysis, keyword extractions, category classification, concept tagging, and more.
Integrates with chatbots
Powered by Watson Discovery, IBM Watson® Assistant search skill enables virtual agents to respond to user's queries quickly and efficiently. You’ll also be able to provide a better customer experience by delivering passages of text from relevant content.
Provides user friendly tooling
Intuitive tooling empowers your subject-matter experts to teach IBM Watson® the language of your industry. Get started with no previous programming or coding skills required.
Creates industry-specific dictionary
Create a custom dictionary, inclusive of synonyms, to help Watson Discovery find and learn terms that hold meaning for your workflows. You can also add a Patterns resource that teaches the platform to recognize patterns in your data and suggests more rules for your review.
