There is a huge need for Government organizations, at every level, to better manage and harness data as they serve the needs of their citizens. During the development of “Watson,” various analytics technologies were developed that can be used to make sense of unstructured information in order to bring new insights in a variety of fields — from the Government 2.0 envisioned by the White House to health care, social services, energy, water resources, transportation, food safety, customs, border protection, financial markets, education, and more. Through the use of these advanced analytics, Governments can be better equipped to understand their constituent needs, the impact of related services, evaluate more effective ways to deliver offerings in the era of tightened budgets, and be more accurate and targeted in subsequent planning and IT investments.

This presentation will provide an overview of the “Watson” development process, highlight some of the advanced analytic technologies used, and provide examples of where they could be used.
