Approval flag based relevancy input

If we have to give the capability for the users to train the system then it will be better if the training API has an approval parameter which could be set to false to start with and then an SME could review those ratings to check if it could go i...

Relevancy Training Evaluation Tooling & Metrics Dashboard

It will be good to have a capability in the tooling to do a train/test evaluation on a WDS collection and have the nDCG & recall metrics visible in the dashboard

An API to download the training data applied by WDS

A way to download the training data that has been applied instead of just downloading all the training provided as input to the system ? This is because we need to provide the client with the list of all training that has actually been applied to ...

Ability to do semantic search

Currently first level search in WDS is based on term overlap which can be improved with relevancy training. The term overlap can be improved with query expansion. Now for a query on "car", customer also wants to retrieve documents on "Vehicle", "M...

End user notification when added to a WKS instance

Currently a user who is added using the Manage users WKS, does not get notified that they have added to a Workspace. So they do not know to go to the tooling. Also, if the user's default bluemix region is not Germany or US South, they have to chan...
