The medical training of IBM's Watson computer will continue at a Manhattan cancer hospital.
IBM and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre said yesterday that they'll add the newest in oncology research and the hospital's accumulated experience to Watson's vast knowledge base.
The outcome can help you the hospital diagnose and treat cancer more quickly, accurately and personally, they said.
"The capabilities are enormous," said Larry Norton, deputy chief for breast cancer programmes at Sloan-Kettering. "And in contrast to my medical students, Watson doesn't forget anything."
Watson won fame by beating the world's best players in Jeopardy!, a televised quiz show requiring knowledge in history, literature, the humanities and culture.
Watson went to work last year for the health insurer Wellpoint.
It can be the top of next year before patients on the hospital are making the most of Watson's speed and depth but, if successful, the completed product can be used anywhere on the planet to assist cancer treatment.
