Watson Discovery Advisor has been upgraded to seek out hidden relations in data.

IBM has upgraded its Watson Discovery Advisor data analysis service so it can answer your questions before you even ask. The updated Watson Discovery Advisor can examine a body of data and identify trends, correlations and other points of interest for researchers, IBM said. The service will provide you leads "when you don't know the question to ask, and for when you want to uncover and discover in the data new insights and patterns," said Steve Gold, IBM vice president for the Watson platform.

Watson Discovery Advisor is a commercial offshoot ( http://www.pcworld.com/article/2086160/ibm-launches-business-unit-to-make-watson-a-moneymaker.html ) of Watson, packaging some of Watson's capabilities as a data analysis cloud service.

There is also notification of a Watson Group Discovery Event which has, unfortunately, reached us too late to be of any use - it took place on the 28 Aug in New York. Did any members of our community attend, and what was it like?

    Watson: "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."
