Re: [ontolog-forum] IBM Watson & source code

David Eddy,

I think you have an excellant Idea..  Just imagine feeding a COBOL program and asking Watson to convert that to  Java and open source or whatever...   Modernization is over...   we all will be jobless..

( Watch what we ask for, for all you know, you may get it.. ---- unemployment..:-))

All -

For certain Watson handles the sort of textual documents that humans 
tend to deal with.  There is another type of textual document that 
very few humans can cope with... source code.

Any speculation what would happen if Watson were fed a diet of 
computer programs?  Stuff like COBOL, Fortran, JCL, CICS, APL, HTML, 
PHP, Python, Java, _javascript_ & the hundreds of languages in active 
use in enterprises.

Could Watson answer questions like:  "I need to change XYZ... what 
else do I need to pay attention to?"
