Major:
Overall, I thought the article was very informative and accessible to everyone. This is a subject that could have easily become overly technical but it was very easy to understand. I do have comments, however. In the second sentence do not define what Jeopardy! is. There is already a link associated with the word and there is no need for it. Also, you mention that DeepQA has more uses other than Watson but you never mention them. You should make a list that introduces the four topics you discuss later on in the article.

For the following sentence: “The ability to ask a computer a question and have it provide an answer is not new, but machine learning techniques like DeepQA are greatly expanding the types of questions that computers can answer.” Define what new types of question the computers will be able to answer. Overall, just expand on the introduction so that is engaging to the reader and is comprehensive of the subjects you will discuss later.

“DeepQA employs two techniques to complete NLP: english slot grammar (ESG) parsing, and predicate-argument structure (PAS) building.” It would be useful to the reader if these two terms were linked to a Wikipedia article (if they exist).

“It is not hard to see how a question and answer system like DeepQA can be repurposed.” Observations like these should be avoided. Don’t rely on assumptions. Only use accepted statements.

Minor:
Be consistent with the use of Jeopardy!. In the final paragraphs you don’t include the exclamation point.

“DeepQA architecture is the basis on Watson’s question and answer abilities.” Use for instead of on.

“The system of adding sources to the system can be broken down into three steps”. Include a colon at the end of the sentence before starting the list. Also, start the sentences with a capital letter.

“One application would use DeepQA to search through legal documents to find laws that might help or limit the ability for a business to achieve a business goal.”
