Performance of IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding Across Market Features

IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding Likes & Dislikes

ease of use and accessibility and its customization/ diverse integration possibilities

integration with other IBM services

Able to understand slangs and dialects that are even not commonly used. Intents are properly understood and responses effective

in specialized domains (in my case chemical / drug discovery ), the out of the box solution needs substantial customization to meet expectations

complexity, understanding languages and limited sentiment analysis

Limited to languages being used and Indian language support is limited. Returns spelling mistakes
