Did IBM publish papers describing the algorithms used in IBM Watson?
Supposedly IBM Watson has 41 different subsystems (which I find analogous to Apple Siri’s 35+ APIs). I have not seen a complete list of these 41 subsystems; however, the IBM Journal of Research and Development recently published a special issue, “This is Watson” [1]. The electronic version with 17 papers at $31 each would run $527. Despite a number of direct inquiries, I have been unable to locate any printed version. 🙁
