  Okay, here's two, then I gotta get off this thread and get back to work: http://www.businessinsider.com/r-ibms-watson-to-guide-cancer-therapies-at-14-centers-2015-5 http://www.businessinsider.com/r-ibms-watson-to-guide-cancer... https://www.mskcc.org/about/innovative-collaborations/watson-oncology https://www.mskcc.org/about/innovative-collaborations/watson...

    Neither of these are a peer-reviewed publication. As a bioinformatician, I'm really struggling to see what is new here. It seems like it's mostly a marketing thing.

    You seem to be working against your own argument. 1) Business Insider is at best, simply not research journal, nor is it specifying results. 2) The medical center publication first statement says "A team of physicians and analysts at Memorial Sloan Kettering has been “training” IBM Watson for more than a year..." Seems like like something productive would be going the other way....

      No... it wouldn't be going the other way. You have to train with corpuses of data.

        Right, but training isn't productive unless it's means to an end. Has there been a productive end, and can you share it with us?
