=== 07/07/2014 - Artificial Intelligence Q&A with Tim Winkler,IBM ===
 +
 +
Abstract:
 +
 +
Q&A with Tim Winkler, a former PS:One member and software engineer at IBM who works on Watson, the Jeopardy winning artificial intelligence.
 +
 +
Tim has worked for IBM for 10 years and on Watson for about 3 years. He works with natural language parsing and machine learning. Watson processes unformatted data, i.e. natural language documents, and not structured databases, so part of Tim’s job is to work on ingesting that data and making sense of it. One of his current projects is cognitive cooking, in which Watson comes up with recipes for us to cook and is really awesome:)
