What is the data format required for input in the IBM-Watson cloud product?


I'm having a hard time figuring out what type of data watson accepts: RDF triples, relational, delimited text, etc.

There's really no documentation anywhere.

Does anyone know?


Solution

  • Watson currently eats unstructured English Prose in HTML, Word Doc, Text, and certain formats of PDF.

    Some API documentation can be found here: https://www.ibmdw.net/watson/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2013/11/An-Ecosystem-Of-Innovation-Creating-Cognitive-Applications-PoweredByWatson.pdf

    You can also get a bit more if you go to the bottom of the mobile developer challenge page that's here: ibmwatson.com (see 'Helpful Hints about Watson')

    If there's other documentation you're looking for, specific feedback would be helpful to pass on
