An absolutely amazing display of technology
Quote:
Jeopardy! sit-in Watson, a supercomputer, will be using DeepQA technology to procure Jeopardy! answers. It is armed with a Linux system that is powered by 10 refrigerator-sized racks of IBM POWER 750, with 15 terabytes of RAM and a 2,880 processor core. Throughout its lifespan, Watson has stored tens of millions of informational pieces—perfect for combat. With specs like this, former champs had better prepare. The videos of the computer in action are simply amazing. It's able to discern the question from it's atypical phrasing in Jeopardy and return the "question" in natural language. They hope the technology can assist in medical diagnoses. |

As an old (well, not that old) IBM'er from the 70s and 80s, I am definitely going to watch this.
