Re: A supercomputer is gonna compete in Jeopardy tonight!

By the way, you CAN have Watson's programming run on a normal desktop. It would take 2 hours to solve one question, but it would work. Who knows, maybe in a few years it'll be 1 hour. Or even *gasp* 30 minutes!  yikes

So... who exactly won? I get that Watson got the Final Jeopardy question wrong, but did he lose enough to fall behind Ken or Brad?

watson only bet about $900 on the last question, so he's still in the lead! but they are combining the scores from the first two days and tonight, so they may catch up!  big_smile

Re: A supercomputer is gonna compete in Jeopardy tonight!

Watson won, but he didn't get the Final Jeopardy question. Watson bet $957 on it, and Alex called him a "sneak".  My dad did get the last question, though.  It was something like: 
This city's two airports are named after a WWII pilot, and a WWII battle.
The answer was: Chicago.

Re: A supercomputer is gonna compete in Jeopardy tonight!

Ok. What's next? Super computer game shows.

Question 1.
Calculate pi?

The computers start to calculate it and the humans say that it is not a valid question.

Re: A supercomputer is gonna compete in Jeopardy tonight!

On today, February 16th, 2011, a supercomputer built by International Business Machines (IBM) consisting of ten racks each containing ten Power750 servers, have beat the two best Jeopardy players in the world, winning 1 million dollars, all to be donated to charity.

I am stunned.

I think it's pretty cool that they accomplished this. I mean like they said, we're still far off from "Star Trek"-esque computers.... but we are that much closer!

hey I wonder if Watson knows about scratch?  tongue 

Next Challenge: Make a scratch project!  lol
