The ability to speak in free english to a computer and get a natural response that's actually accurate is so much more powerful than people think. What's next, getting into your car and saying "hey, drive me to the airport but take the scenic route. Also, hit a starbucks on the way" Amazing. I'm hoping for quick medical diagnosis and maybe chemical trouble-shooting for those dealing with possibly poisonous combinations. | ||

Should be interesting. thats how jennings did it for 75 episodes straight lol | ||

Rutters came back and tied with Watson... Tomorrow should be awesome! Like someone said before me Jennings strat seems like its the way to go. Watson has proven to be a formidable opponent! | ||

Step 1: upload some software that will understand human voice Step 2: google the question because it's a fucking computer. You can just stick a tiny usb stick that connects to the internet underneath all those layers of computers. Step 3: write the code that will make the computer pick the most likely answer congradulations IBM, you now have marketed your products to an even greater audience. | ||

You're completely failing to understand the process. The computer is actually understanding the use of the complexities of the English language. Software that recognizes voice commands is very primitive and can only understand basic statements. It can't do anything like understand the various language devices used to make Jeopardy questions. | ||

Its funny that the real magic is in step 3, you make it sound so easy but its understanding what the question is and picking the correct answer thats hard. especially with the puns and word play that is often used on that show. Thought it was really cool to watch my GF really liked it were gonna watch tomorrow. | ||

Context is a big barrier for these programs, they actually talked about it on the show how a major hurdle is making it understand the difference between Usain Bolt running in a 100m race and McCain running for president; two phrases using one identical word but two whole different contexts and the program has to be able to make the distinction between the two words quickly and accurately. | ||

This Is just a normal computer on steroids. Thats it. It's not a true learning computer. Just a powerful, well programmer one. It's a big gimmick, that's all it can ever be. Skynet? Ha! Yeah right.. | ||
