Jeopardy! against.....

a friggin computer!


Here is Monday's episode of Jeopardy! as we start our IBM challenge with a supercomputer codenamed, "Watson". We have returning champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter competing against "Watson" for a $1,000,000 prize. Here is part one of day 1 of the IBM challenge. Please subscribe to the Rashad8821 channel to watch day two of the IBM challenge.






February 14th, 2011....."Watson", becomes self aware.

I, for one, welcome our new overlord.

Someday Watson will be an Iphone App w/voice recognition.

There is all sorts of potential for these kinds of systems. In the future, a large percentage of cumulative human knowledge will be at everyone's fingertips. We won't even need to learn things the same way, we will just need to train our brains to use new knowledge efficiently on the fly.

Its kind of mind boggling.

Absolutely! I love it! All the processing can be done in the cloud and you could ask questions through your iPhone or wherever.

The company I work for actually was developing a service like this years ago but it failed to launch. We were actually going to be at the other end of the phone looking up information via Google/Wikipedia/etc manually though.

in about less than a decade we should have the same amount of processing power on our mobile phones.

Simple questions can already asked to an Android phone, so I can only imagine that within several years the voice search will be sophisticated enough to deal with complex questions

i bet they designed watson to randomly get some answers wrong and randomly have a slower response time for answering questions.

im sure the technology is already there for mobile phones..

Google has released a translation app now which is under 15mb and as far as i know, does not require a constant connection to the internet

you speak into the phone, it translates it back and can speak it in the regional dialect of the language you are translating it too basically on the fly, over 60 languages

not the same i know, but the technology is there and i'm sure a TONNE more than this jepordy computer.

Not the same thing either, but related to translating. So amazing




I wouldn't downplay the incredible things that Watson is doing though, or the amount of computer power required for them to make this work successfully. I don't think you'll see anything even close to it anytime soon as a client-side app.

It's not Watson's knowledge that's impressive, it's Watson's ability to interpret human language, especially the sometimes cryptic language of Jeopardy!

Also, Watson's knowledge doesn't come from an encyclopedia. If you believe Wikipedia, it actually "read" to build up its knowledge -- meaning that it would have to parse its own reading.

Probably just researched where it fell the most from past episodes and went from there.

so when can we expect to see this in cloud computing with a wireless interface to our brains?
that'll be pretty cool, but just incase, keep keanu on standby.
