Can anonymous publications/research win the Nobel Prize? I assume not as it would defeat the point, and since they can't, it'll be sometime yet. I think the barrier soon to giving a computer the prize won't be quality of work but rather public sentiment and tradition, so anonymity could easily be the answer. EDIT: or publishing under the pseudonymous facade of a real person, is what I meant. I was asleep when I wrote this earlier, and it totally doesn't make sense.
Fantastic that they've found practical applications so quickly.WellPoint’s chief medical officer Samuel Nussbaum said at the press event today that health care pros make accurate treatment decisions in lung cancer cases only 50% of the time (a shocker to me). Watson, since being trained in this medical specialty, can make accurate decisions 90% of the time.
