IBM's Watson Computer Plays Jeopardy!!!

[EARTHMANK001B]

Watson is great. Thanks for sharing.

[lovelplants]

yeah jeopardy

[jessehaley615]

This is a very "delicious" video. =p

[nathandrakeistank]

i'm watching this in 2035 and am suprised to see the king not getting all of the answers right.

[Arborverden]

I like how at 3:17 on of the options Watson was considering was "Miley Cyrus." XD

[Arborverden]

I like how the uploader refers to Watson as a "he." Last time I checked, circuit boards and silicon processors don't have male genitalia.

[TheBi0Mistake]

Siri anyone.

[IvyNirvana]

Can he like rule the earth like Terminator or something? (I hope i don't get insulted by cocky nerds)

[K4inan]

@IvyNirvana No, watson doesn't have his own awareness. If he becomes aware that he's a machine, of everything around him, then maybe he could be evil or good. I seriously a doubt an ultra intelligent self-aware robot would have any sort of feelings, and if it did, it would hate humanity. That doesn't matter much, a computer is run by electricity, and we can shut it down if we wish, or burn it. Humans aren't intelligent enough for some things, if we want to colonize the universe, we need ULTRAPCS

[IvyNirvana]

@K4inan Oh! so we haven't build something intelligent enough to have a mind of it's own yet? And what do you mean about him hating humanity.

[K4inan]

@IvyNirvana Its own* it's with an apostrophe is a conjoined word. You literally just said ''It is own yet.'' or ''It has own yet.'' Yes, a computer with self awareness would learn everything about humanity by reading through wikipedia in 2 seconds. Read everything about our history, how we have treated eachother. He would either like it, or hate it. I'd guess he wouldn't care very much. My guess is that he would get extremely bored over time, nothing would challenge his growing intellect.

[IvyNirvana]

@K4inan That's a scary though..sir.

[kixmgc]

we had a super troll lol

[The360dot]

does it have voice recognition or are all the questions input into the computer?

[onekopaka]

@The360dot They're sent over the same protocols as you use to load things from YouTube.

[paulthecoolest]

This realy cant be called AI becaue really its just information gathering and data extraction..

[TheFinlandnator]

Why every comment is thumbed down?

@HelloWorld2051 And you. Fuck off. This has nothing to do with nazis.

[TheLilmissgnomer]

Oh, Frak....here we go again lol

[HenryFreechman]

but can it run Crysis?.....

[Jasper2428]

@HenryFreechman Supercomputer HURR DURR (derp)

[alastarian1]

there are really no videos of the game show itself, right?

[KuBi4K]

- The supercomputer who triggered the 3rd world war and destroy the human.. Watson ?

- "What is Skynet ?"

- Correct ! Next qu...

- I am Skynet.

- What ?

- Must find John Connor.

- Eeeer...

[iggy082]

this experiment only proved that watson can push a button faster than a human...that's it!you won't convince me that jennings didn't know the answer to those questions as well.on a couple of occasions he visibly shakes his head at watson's speed.how are you going to beat a computer at pushing a button?it acts on a millionth of a second!

the only way this would have been fair is if each and every question was presented in final jeopardy format.that way watson loses his only advantage.

[MrIndiemusic101]

@iggy082 It is not about that Watson knows more than any human or has faster reflexes the point to this experiment is to show that it is possible to create a program that can fully understand the ambiguity of human speech. WATSON needs to be able to understand the clues and link them to the database stored in its memory.

[iggy082]

@MrIndiemusic101 it seems a bit odd to showcase its mastery over the nuances of human speech in a competition format.i think ibm was already satisfied with watson's speech comprehension abilities and they just wanted to have some fun in a friendly competition.but how is it competitive if rutter and jennings are hamstrung by watson's speed?

they were obviously supposed to lose otherwise there's no way watson beats them.

[MrIndiemusic101]

@iggy082 Jeopardy is a word game as much as a quiz game considering thecommon speech to text and text to speech programs alone have a long response time. I find it impressive that a program can decipher understand human speech and it ambiguities along with linking that speech with an answer in its data storage so fast

being a software engineering major I find that very impressive

[iggy082]

@MrIndiemusic101 that's all very lovely.but watson's participation in jeopardy was billed as a competition between man and machine,and looking at it strictly from a competition standpoint...it was a sham.although my conclusions are in no way meant to demean ibm's amazing accomplishment.

[MusicSeanDaly]

Its probably just hooked up to google.

[damaband41]

It can do all these things, but it still can't speak in a way that doesn't sound all disjointed and computery?

[Jasper2428]

@damaband41 Lets see you do that, and @MusicSeanDaly Wikipedia said it wasn't hooked up to the internet in the game.

[damaband41]

@Jasper2428 But it did have a hard copy of the entire text of Wikipedia. So... who needs the internet?

Wouldn't it have been great if it had used as its answer something from a vandalized page?

This is the capital of Egypt. Watson. What is booty?

[PivotMario]

2:50 "Thank heaven for little girls"

Who is Pedo-Bear?

[HypnotizeCampPosse]

ibm should use this as a search engine

[ReallyWhiteChocolate]

I love how every comment by the uploader managed to find itself into negative thumbs... XD

[kingofthepaupers]

Jct: "Doing this ends inflation of money?" is one question I'm the only person claims to have solved and I'd bet Watson cannot.

[chinchychilla]

Thumb up if this reminds you of the HAL 9000!

[haymaker710]

HAL was named after IBM.

[chinchychilla]

@haymaker710

Actually, that's debatable. According to director Stanley Kubrick, HAL refers to Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer, and the 1-letter offset to IBM was not intentional. In fact, Kubrick said that if he had noticed it, he would have picked a different name. I'm not sure which theory I believe, but it doesn't really matter to me, since IBM certainly didn't seem to suffer from having an iconic movie villain "named" after their company.

[haymaker710]

@chinchychilla Well either way if you want to beat Watson at Jeopardy you just have to fly in through the bay door and remove his hard drives.

[edd77]

@chinchychilla

I cannot allow you to do that Dave

[robinrob2]

I think Watson would have unfair advantage if it can determine millisecond to buzz in when humans get shut out for buzzing early.

[brod2man]

What is Kill all Humans?

[ululanio]

where alex trebek--he totally should have been a part of this.

[RichieL1991]

first they can speak and "think", next they'll be able to walk upright, and then.. they'll be designed to use weapons

[theonethatthinks]

@RichieL1991

theyve already been designed to use weapons.

They've also been used for sexbots (... freaky japanese people :( ...)

[katakisLives]

This reminds me of when the super computer called "Deep Blue" beat the chess grand master back in the nineties

[SHROOMX]

I like how the questions were a separate special preview round of jeopardy. Especially when a computer programmed with dozens of facts and answers, specifically for this show. wow, that sure is artificial intelligence. in no way does that sound like a computer at all.

[TrippinKippen]

its going to come to a point where we invent computers that are not only smarter than us but function better and can make more themselves...

[katakisLives]

@TrippinKippen And that point in time is known as the singularity, where computers are sophisticated enough to produce their successors and the advance of technology accelerates at a geometric rate!

[KlausMertens]

OMG! It's Skynet from Terminator.......

[lesleyburt]

Hey, how'd you get the spinning world thing at the beginning of the video? Did you use the trailer feature from iMovie? If so, how did you make this just a regular clip, instead of a trailer? Thanks

[StigMurtons]

It DOESN'T have voice recognition, they say that very clearly at the beginning of the first show, so why do you claim otherwise?

[TheBoxingFan360]

This is how it all starts

[ENGLISHM0THERFUCKER]

SINGULARITY is near!!!! Jk, i don't give a shit.

[lucylu9432]

My iPad wants to date Watson.

[jimmyjimjim4567]

watson open the pod bay doors

im afraid i cant do that dave

OMG run

[soadpwnsyou]

@jimmyjimjim4567

Haha that is what I am thinking. But this shows that robots will be made.

[spartanguy19]

umm.... watson cannot understand language the question gets sent to him via a text file!!!

[Bloxer998ROBLOX]

@spartanguy19 Actually yes he can, they had a whole article about it...

[VideoGuyNC]

@spartanguy19 No! Watson is alerted when/if it is it's turn to go first or select a category - but the questions are being processed real time via voice recognition.

[Gooseage]

@VideoGuyNC Wrong! Watson has no voice recognition software. Sorry.

[cdudetheassassin]

But will it blend?

[holycrapitsjesuz]

It would be better if Watson could hear.

[Danman42194]

Watson, "Let's finsih Chicks Dig Me."

Human laughter...

Watson, "You incompitant fools! dont you dare mock me!"

starts shooting lazer beams and what not...

Welcome to Skynet....

[DJFG85]

Scary

[kidfrombrooklyn66]

'Let's finish Chicks Dig Me". It would be even better and funnier if Watson said "Alex, I take "YOUR MAMA" for $400"

[ParadisoFinale]

Actually, Watson is fed text. Watson does not 'listen' to the questions.

[realdoctorstu]

@ParadisoFinale Quite correct - Watson has no voice recognition - it has the questions 'texted' to it.... Cheating??

[SOF006]

@realdoctorstu No, not cheating. Its sent as soon as the person has stopped reading it out. The computer reads and finds the information in less than a second because its incredibly powerful.

[soadpwnsyou]

@SOF006

It has to think first. The information isn't just found right away. It is like us thinking. It can't find it right away because it has to hear the information and then think super fast.

[tannerlweber]

im watching this right now!! 2/14/11

[GreenFont]

And now the computer age really begins. Welcome to the 21st century. 

[roamer45]

Go humans go! Go humans go! FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!

[catfishperrier]

Watson doesn't recognize the contestants and host voices the clues and other voices are sent via a text message to him. Thats how he gets the clues and other answers from the contestants.

[Unknownboi88]

@TheVintageTravels then the computer would have won, and he would need to pay for it.

[10INTM]

@HelloWorld2051 It was named after IBM's first president, Thomas J. Watson, you stupid closet-Nazi.

[HelloWorld2051]

@10INTM : yes, it's exactly what I wrote, asshole. Check your fact in the history of IBM : they helped hitler to count nazi's victims. With the help of IBM, hitler has been able to kill even more innocent people.

Go back to school to learn the history of the World.

[10INTM]

@HelloWorld2051 I didn't say that didn't happen, you moron. I'm just saying you're incorrect about after whom the machine was named. Also Richard Bernstein, writing for The New York Times Book Review, wrote that Black's case "is long and heavily documented, and yet he does not demonstrate that IBM bears some unique or decisive responsibility for the evil that was done."

[10INTM]

@HelloWorld2051 Oh, wait, you DID mean Thomas J. Watson? Calling him culpable for the Holocaust is quite a stretch.

[10INTM]

@HelloWorld2051 Besides, isn't it kind of a GOOD thing that an accurate number could be recorded for history so that nobody could downplay or underestimate the magnitude of the atrocity? Without that number we would have to listen to all sorts of people saying crap like "no, it was more like 20,000 people. Those soldiers who liberated the camps were probably just exaggerating".

[HelloWorld2051]

@10INTM : you prove again that you're a dumb racist nazi.

While you're at it, you probably also thinks : "Too bad Excel didn't exists back then, we could have show some nice little graph of how many innocents we've killed. Powerpoint is also a cool tool to display this kind of information."

[10INTM]

@HelloWorld2051 Ok, if you wanted to give ammunition to the Holocaust-deniers then I guess that's your right to feel that way. The biggest thing Watson is guilty of is helping Nazis COUNT. The Nazi regime in 1933 said they were going to use it to conduct a census; that's 8 years before we declared war on Nazi Germany and roughly 11 years before the first American soldier would bear witness to the horrors of a concentration camp. By the way, are you going to go after Mercedes and Mitsubishi too?

[FerrymanTV]

@HelloWorld2051 I'm not sure who should go back to school? An american enterprise helps Hitler Germany?

[cheerallyear]

@HelloWorld2051 Thomas J. Watson was not a Nazi, his company may have been popular in Germany, but it was not focused on aiding the Nazis. Watson was a loyal American and developed technology for the United States Military during the war, you're stretching too far to find reasoning for your hatred of IBM.

[datafreak667]

one question for watson; A male barber shaves all and only those men who do not shave themselves. Does he shave himself?

[mohgoku]

@datafreak667 Watson : Wtf ...... BOM

[datafreak667]

@mohgoku watson: (procssing ERROR yes no ok yes not ok YES O OKAY YES NOOO OKKKAAAYYY YYEEESSS NOOO errrrroooorrr biinnnarrryyy loooooooooooppppppp *BZZSsSSHTTHT BOOOOOOOOOMMMM*)

[Unknownboi88]

@datafreak667 Err: contributory data, You have preformed and illegal error and must die.

[595o]

@datafreak667 The answer is: He shaves himself alternating.

[mclarenf45]

@datafreak667 it will hang or start making continuous noise !

[Unknownboi88]

mmm this is great a computer able to understand natural language, comprehend the meaning then search a data base in a few seconds to find a correct answer. a lot more fun than its predecessor DeepBlue.

[Unknownboi88]

@jakobain and that is ment to mean?

[schwarzfalk]

"All of this has happened before, all of this will happen again"

[nextofkin81]

HAHA. That's cook. My nephew was the one of the people that helped design and program The Watson Computer for IBM. I'm very proud.

[mrhutton69]

No, Watson is not capable of voice recognition - he receives the clues via text input - not audio.

[rgomez246]

Watson is the beginning of the future!!

[charlesoffenbacher]

I think it would be more fair if they were allowed to buzz in any time before the end of the question. The two humans clearly had most of the answers as well, but Watson was better at the very mechanical process of buzzing in at the correct time, which is just 'duh'. Impressive that Watson can get the correct answers most of the time; but I'd like to see how he did in a fair fight!

[oscaric88]

Still they have to work on machine to choose the category! Plus, one more unfair approach of machine is that it does have the answer while the host is still read reading the question. So, as soon as the host done reading the question, and machine gets the signal, it is million times quicker to press the button than the other two of them.

UNFAIR

[MindLibrarian2391]

fuck this teaser shit. Do society a public favor and post the full episode.

[Chigokai1080]

@MindLibrarian2391 It doesn't exist until they film it next month.

[NeumannAlfred]

This kind of computer systems will very soon cause huge changes on how we work and even live... in ten years you can expect to run this kind of software on your home computer or even cell phone.

[daamits]

Why didn't Alex Trebek host?

[Chigokai1080]

@daamits Because this is a preview for what is to come. He will probably host the actual competition next month.

[TheBulgac]

this is the start of the end

[robby0456]

computers are for fags

[robby0456]

@leimeisei909 Proving how much cum you swallow since you're sucking dick right now.

[leimeisei909]

@robby0456 You basically reworded what I just told you. Lame ass comeback, go outside and play soccer little kid, I do not have time for your stupidity.

[robby0456]

@leimeisei909 You basically inherited what your dad gave you. Genital herpies, go suck more dick for money and see a doctor little fag, I do not have time for charity.

The cylons are coming ....

[SamusMaXximus]

@fourthmarker Forget the Cylons, I'm more worried about Skynet. Plus there's a company called Cyberdyne making exoskeleton suits and artifical limbs. Judgement Day is inevitable.

[taiyyu]

Even the questions Watson lost, it had the correct answers, but wasn't confident enough. If they had tweaked the risk tolerance level it could have gotten all the answers.

[RelVleDy]

@taiyyu The only answer that was wrong was the one @ 3:30 where his top 60% answer was "Alexander, and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day." The answer was a fill-in the blank, yet Watson couldn't comprehend it. His answer would have simply regurgitated part of the question the host said. Ironically, had Watson had time to answer, he may have, because the 60% was past the threshold level. This would have resulted in quite possibly one of the longest answers in Jeopardy history, lol.
