IBM A1000-083 - Assessment: Foundations of Watson AI v2 Advanced Practice Exam: Hard Questions 2025

An enterprise is deploying Watson Discovery to analyze 500,000 proprietary technical documents with heavy domain-specific terminology. After initial ingestion, relevancy scores are consistently below 0.3 for known-relevant documents, and the system struggles with acronym disambiguation. The data contains tables, embedded diagrams, and multi-column layouts. Which combination of strategies would MOST effectively improve retrieval quality?

A data science team is building a fraud detection model using Watson Machine Learning. They have a dataset with 1,000,000 transactions where only 0.5% are fraudulent. After training multiple models, their best classifier achieves 99.2% accuracy but the business reports it's missing 70% of actual fraud cases in production. What is the PRIMARY issue and solution?

A Watson Assistant chatbot for insurance claims processing must handle interruptions, context switching, and multi-turn conversations where users frequently provide information out of order. The current implementation loses context when users ask tangential questions mid-flow. Which architectural pattern and Watson Assistant features would BEST handle this complex conversational requirement?

During model evaluation, a supervised learning model for customer churn prediction shows training accuracy of 94% but validation accuracy of 72%. The learning curves show that training error decreases steadily while validation error plateaus after 30% of training data. Feature importance analysis reveals the model heavily weights 'customer_id' and 'timestamp' fields. What is the MOST likely diagnosis and remediation?

A Watson Natural Language Understanding (NLU) application analyzes customer feedback in English, Spanish, and Portuguese to extract sentiment, emotions, and custom entities (product codes, specific features). After deployment, Spanish sentiment analysis shows 25% lower accuracy than English, and custom entity extraction fails to identify product codes in Portuguese text that contain special characters. What is the MOST comprehensive solution?

An organization is implementing Watson Studio for a collaborative data science project involving 50 data scientists working on customer lifetime value prediction. They need to manage experimentation, track model versions, ensure reproducibility, and deploy models to production with governance controls. The team uses various frameworks (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch). Which architectural approach would BEST support these requirements?

A Watson Discovery collection contains 100,000 legal contracts. Users report that queries for 'force majeure' return documents containing 'Act of God', but queries for 'Act of God' don't return documents with 'force majeure'. Custom relevancy training has been performed with 200 queries. The issue persists despite the training. What is the MOST likely cause and solution?

A regression model predicts equipment failure time (in days) for predictive maintenance. The model shows R² = 0.82 on test data, but in production, maintenance teams report that 40% of predicted failures occur significantly earlier than predicted, causing unexpected downtime. Post-deployment analysis reveals the model performs well on newer equipment but poorly on assets over 5 years old. What is the PRIMARY issue and appropriate solution?

A Watson Assistant deployed for IT helpdesk support uses webhook integrations to query ticket systems, AD servers, and knowledge bases. During peak hours, users experience 15-30 second delays for responses requiring webhook calls, and some requests timeout. Dialog logs show webhook latencies averaging 8-12 seconds per call, and some workflows make 3-4 sequential webhook calls. What combination of optimizations would MOST effectively improve performance?

A financial services company is implementing Watson Natural Language Understanding to analyze earnings call transcripts for sentiment and extract financial entities (revenue figures, guidance, company names). Compliance requires that no transcript data be retained by the Watson service after processing, and all data must remain in the EU region. However, they need to continuously improve custom entity extraction accuracy over time. How should this be architected to meet all requirements?
