(I just signed up for this free MOOC)
IBM MOOC titled "Cognitive Computing -- Question Answering Technologies behind IBM Watson"
We have designed a massive open online course (MOOC) on the question answering technologies behind IBM’s original Watson Jeopardy!® system. This MOOC is taught directly by developers of the system and based on a Columbia University graduate course that Alfio Gliozzo taught for two years. It covers background concepts needed to understand IBM’s Watson Jeopardy!® system and cognitive technologies. Topics include: Deep QA Architecture, Semantic Integration and Machine Learning, NLP, Unstructured Information Management Architecture, Structured Knowledge in Watson, Domain Adaptation, and Distributional Semantics.
This MOOC is accessible from "Learn the Technology"in http://ibm.com/watsonacademy and a 1.5-minute course trailer at http://ibm.co/1yCV7QZ.
The course takes ~20 hours to complete, including:
Nine video-based lectures with a total run-time of ~10 hours
More than 100 deliberate practice and challenge questions
Eight foum topics to provoke reflection and promote social learning
A final assignment, submitted online.
You may choose to teach the course or embed any of the online course material in your courses; in this case you must not alter the content and must give IBM credit for the course material. We hope you will join us and send us feedback on the usefulness of our course material so we can add and improve the course. We also hope that this course further expands the Watson ecosystem, inspiring new services with Watson technology.
