Research Staff Member at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center

I work in IBM's Watson Technologies group, on the Watson^TM System, which demonstrated superior question answering capabilities by famously winning against human grand champions on the Jeopardy! quiz show. My research aims to advance the DeepQA technology inside Watson.

For technical details on Watson, see our publications in the IBM Journal of Research and Development, Special Issue on Watson.
