I don't quite understand why you're demanding this. As I see it, Watson is still pretty experimental and we're probably still learning what kind of stuff it's good or bad at. Why not build a few apps, throw it at hospitals or schools or other use cases, and see whether it actually helps anyone?
Basically, I feel like you're asking for peer-reviewed papers that show that Dropbox is a good way to share files. Nobody would write a paper about that. They would just try Dropbox.
- willis77 13y agoA lot of the hype has been around using Watson as a medical decision support system, so yes, they do need peer-reviewed papers before "throwing it at hospitals". In medicine, you can't "see if it helps" without a controlled experiment. It's just too subtle to see when it's not helping, and also too late.
