It just one step closer to having real AI. | ||

Yeah, I'm curious to see how it would bid in different situations i.e. behind someone who has been very consistent vs. behind someone who has been correct on and off. I want to know how much game theory is taken into account when calculating those utility functions. As far as the natural language processing part goes, actually understanding the answer and formulating a question is a non-trivial part of computational linguistics. That part alone is a huge undertaking even with Watson knowing the answer (from a computer science perspective anyways). Is it bad that I'm really excited to watch this? | ||

It wouldn't be particularly hard to load most of the lit/historical data into the computer to answer the majority of questions. And 80% of statistics are completely made up on the spot without any reference. Seriously though, this is not even close to true. The information Watson has in its database is the equivalent of millions of books. To seek out the pertinent information and answer the question correctly in such a short period of time (~3 seconds) is truly an amazing feat in artificial intelligence programming | ||

However, his ability to come up with the answer is not instant. He would have to process the question, search through a database or a network of connections of some sort and then finally produce the answer. Search problems have traditionally been quite slow in AI and Watson is probably still slower than a human in this regard. | ||

For example Green Tea, Dark Tea and some other stuff http://sc2.nibbits.com/forums/17/tools As for BW. The BWAI competition comes into mind. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/01/skynet-meets-the-swarm-how-the-berkeley-overmind-won-the-2010-starcraft-ai-competition.ars/ http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=160539 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=190474 | ||

If esports gets big enough perhaps that will be the next grand challenge. First chess, then Jeopardy, then SC2, then... go? | ||
