IBM's Watson explained at RPI's EMPAC

After checking out RPI's panels at EMPAC discussing IBM's Jeopardy challenge I must say I'm impressed with what they've done.  There are videos linked at watson.rpi.edu that really give some insight into how Watson works.  The videos are about an hour each (and no, they don't show any of the Jeopardy games), check them out if you're interested in what went on last week.

    I like the picture of asking what the linux code to reformat a drive is. Watson reformats himself.

    I followed this closely recently but it's always interesting to see how it works rather than the end result some time, certified geek here so keeping tabs on your blog bro, keep it up

    It all is really quite elementary...

    If the IBM computer is allowed to reference the internet, there is no way a human being could beat it at jeopardy.

    I had heard a lot about Watson, but I never caught any of the episodes, thanks for the vids on the insight into this marvel of technology!
