How do you think it'll go? What disadvantages do you think Watson will have?

I saw that about a week ago....pretty amazing stuff.

I think that was the trial show. I saw the link on yahoo but didn't watch it. Watson won i read, but now they can tweek their games.
The real one is a three day event.

ahhh ok... yeah i watched the whole vid on youtube and it was really cool. watson dominated for a while. i watched another video talking about watson itself and all the programming they had to do to get all of the knowledge in watson. its just algorithm after algorithm after algorithm. fascinating stuff.

i cannot wait.....i watch Jeopardy nightly

so yeah they've been putting 'WATSON' up against pretty much any Jeopardy champ who was willing to test it....at first it took a while for the computer to understand things like voice inflection but apparently it is ready to go up against the best....they did a trial run with WATSON, Jennings and Rutter and the computer killed them.....but in an interview Jennings said he feels he may have figured the computer out!!!

so yeah looking forward to this

Altough I think you're allright, I should warn you that avoiding the 'no links' rule can cause a ban. Just sayin'

It's not an advertisement though. If a new member is blatantly advertising something, or spams to 15 posts so they can share a real link, that will result in an automatic ban.

Allright, that wasn't mentioned in the topic

It's just a discussion topic for a TV show, which is alright.
