TITLE
Putting IBM Watson to Work

ABSTRACT
IBM Watson made its televised debut in February 2011, beating two of the all time grand champions in Jeopardy! Now, we are putting Watson to work, applying the technology to domains such as healthcare and financial services. We will present the evolution of IBM Watson from "Watson at Play" to "Watson at Work" as well as describe some of the technology behind Watson.
