The core technologies that made the Project Debater live event possible are available for commercial use. Debater technologies infused in Watson products include idiom sentiment understanding in Watson NLU, efficient text clustering for topic modeling in Watson Discovery, and user customizable sentence level classification in Watson Discovery.
Key Point Analysis and Narrative Generation are also available as software services through the IBM Research Early Access Program. These technologies were featured in the That's Debatable television series and in the Grammy Debates with Watson backstage experience—summarizing thousands of pro and con arguments contributed by the audience, supporting debate on topics ranging from social issues to pop culture.
The same technologies were also used to analyze the textual input of the IBM Employee Pulse survey with hundreds of thousands of textual answers to multiple open questions.
