[NAGDU] The Osgood files

[Cindy Ray]

There was a piece about Guiding Eyes for the Blind using Wtson on the CBS
Evening News Wednesday night, so you might find something if you go to their
24/7 website, and I can't remember how to go there. They did mention the
advantages of using the software to match people and dogs in the evening
news piece. I thought it was quite fascinating and might like to know more.

CBS news radio has a bit called "The Osgood Files".  Today, it was about a
guide dog school using IBM's Watson to analyze data submitted by raisers on
puppy behavior to predict who would make it to be a guide dog.  According to
the report, Watson was 100% accurate.  The raiser interviewed said how the
data could be used to intervene early in potential problem behaviors, but
that bit wasn't explained much in the short piece.

I missed the beginning, so didn't hear which school it was.  The pup being
talked about was TJ.
