It has been 16 months since the Missing Lauren case was started. However, it was recently closed a couple of months ago, when they could not find another lead.
Finding Lauren

He has been on this case for a while and even though the case is closed is really frustrated.
This is Lieutenant Potts.

He receives a call from the chief saying that a new and powerful computer program has been made available by the government to solve cold cases.

He thinks about it for a while and becomes hopeful for Lauren and her family.

Giving Watson all of the Evidencefrom a Cold Case
Connecting Old Cases
We wanted to leverage Watson to analyze the finite corpus of a closed cold case to help detectives find new leads and reopen these cases
How can we leverage the corpus of old - solved and unsolved cases to connect with new case data to use Watson for finding new insights and leads
Opportunity Space

Watson is expensive to run, so it should be consulted to answer critical questions
Finite set of Documents
Yes/No Training
Watson works best with a finite set of documents--adding new documents means you will need to teach Watson how to interpret the new documents
Watson learns corpora by asking yes/no questions about its hypotheses
Assumptions
Watson is Expensive

Concept
![Page 9: IBM Watson : Cold Case Solutions](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5483db69b079592e0c8b4a5a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Whenever Lieutenant Potts opens the IBM Watson Cold Case Solutions program, he is greeted with the login screen.
![Page 10: IBM Watson : Cold Case Solutions](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5483db69b079592e0c8b4a5a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
After he enters his credentials, he can choose to open an existing case file or create a new one. He’s already collected the evidence in Lauren’s case, so he’s ready to create a new case file.
![Page 11: IBM Watson : Cold Case Solutions](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5483db69b079592e0c8b4a5a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A new case number is automatically generated and Lieutenant Potts enters some details about the case. He directs the program to a folder containing all of the evidence in Lauren’s case and uploads the contents of the folder.
![Page 12: IBM Watson : Cold Case Solutions](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5483db69b079592e0c8b4a5a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
After he has saved the documents, Watson starts processing the evidence in the background. A few moments later, Watson begins asking him to clear up some ambiguities in the files.

Watson continues asking questions until all of the ambiguities between the documents have been resolved. As Lieutenant Potts answers more questions, Watson’s comprehension of the documents increases. The program shows Watson’s learning progress at the bottom of the screen.
![Page 14: IBM Watson : Cold Case Solutions](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5483db69b079592e0c8b4a5a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
After Watson’s comprehension reaches 100%, Lieutenant Potts finds that he can ask a question of Watson. He knows the stakes are high and he wants to check that Watson knows what it’s talking about. To test Watson, he asks a question he already knows the answer to.
![Page 15: IBM Watson : Cold Case Solutions](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5483db69b079592e0c8b4a5a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Watson found the correct answer to his question based on the evidence in the file. Now it’s time for the department-wide training session on how to write useful questions for the IBM Watson Cold Case Solutions program.
![Page 16: IBM Watson : Cold Case Solutions](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051610/5483db69b079592e0c8b4a5a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
After Lieutenant Potts and Watson have worked together to solve the case, he prints the Evidence Report. There are step-by-step explanations of how Watson came to its conclusions. Now that Potts knows which pieces of evidence Watson used, he can re-trace the program’s steps. Armed with this information, he can defend Watson’s findings as evidence in court.

Future StrategiesLeveraging high speed analysis for opened casesUsing the high speed analysis to analyze new data from previously closes cases. As new data and documents become available they are uploaded into the Watson system for quick analysis.
