It's a computer after all. It is meant to be smarter than humans. It's not that surprising. For the most part, calculators are faster than humans. Watson just has a shit load of memory that he can recall from. It's a computer, so its fast as hell, not too impressive. Like Alex said, it can't hear or see. It would be more impressive if you could speak to him, and it could read the answers. As of right now, it's just a fast computer with a lot of storage space.
Meet the Champs 1:16 first up is Brad Rutter he wow three Jeopardy Tournaments and has never been defeated. 1:35 Now we have Mr Jeopardy Ace himself he has won every Jeopardy game in 2004 Ken Jennings 1:55 and introducing for the first time a super computer with a mind of his own WATSON. lets play Jeopardy
The only thing impressive about this is that neither Ken or Brad could beat Watson's clicks. The problem with this spectacle is: it is obvious that the answer is known to all contestants before you are even allowed to click, and if you click too early in Jeopardy your clicker is deactivated for several seconds. So watching this display basically decomposes into who clicks the fastest within the first few clues.
@adgsTV haha well we might as well personify him. this guy is a beast. imagine watson in the 80's haha. he'd be called moby dick or yokozuna or something like that. mighty joe data. king tron.
I wasn't astonished wth this at all. Yeah, Watson is a marvel, buts its like bukaroo12 said, if it was 3 AI against each other, it would be more competitive.
Watson vs Siri ---- The epic battle!! -Watson was awestruck as he was in love with Siri; thus missed all the "Answers", yet Siri got all of them right! When Alex wondered if she liked Watson to which Siri answered "I really have no opinion." but when Watson insisted on an answer, she replied "This is about you. Watson, Not me."
they put the answers in the computer before the show started.. so he knew every answer for every category, he didn't have confidence... staged bullshit... ok for every category, they just put each individual answer for each question.. confidence my ass
@SuperMarioBrothers09 Dude, you're an idiot. Dozens of very talented computer scientists spent years and millions of dollars to make Watson; Just because you are too stupid to begin imagining how this team overcame dozens of obstacles to create this brilliant machine does not mean it is a cheat.
This demonstrates the greatest weakness in Jeopardy--namely, winning often comes down to who can best time when to press the buzzer, not who knows the most or thinks fastest
Watson won only because it can better time when to press the buzzer (the humans got to answer only when Watson wasn't sure)
I would LOVE to see a College Bowl or Quiz Bowl format--no screen with words, only a reader, and players can buzz at any time--man could beat Watson there, depending on how the questions were worded
@Erlo3 I agree that humans and computers are vastly better suited to different kinds of tasks, but I think you might be missing the point here. The point is that Watson has outmatched humans in a competition that was previously thought to require quintessentially human skills. I guess it's good that we still have some skills that the machines can't yet emulate. For example, [DATA EXPUNGED BY SKYNET/GLADoS/SHODAN/Watson/HAL 9000/Wikipedia/Dread Cyborg Cthulhu/That Dolphin from Johnny Mnemonic]
I'm a neuroscientist. This fact exactly passed my mind while watching. I could answer some of those questions, too. I'm unsure of how fast the computer was pressing the buzzer. But I could read many of those questions before Alex talks, possibly get an answer a second later, and I surely could develop a confidence interval for my answer before buzzing before Alex is done talking. But yeah, it's all about that buzzer. Many of those questions were not difficult.
Must say I'm not that impressed. Certainly it's great, but Watson just displays an encyclopedic knowledge which it can access very quickly. This is in a sense a bit like chess, but with more appeal to fuzzy logic instead of just deterministic logic. On top of that you have a bit of voice recognition, which anyway is not a big deal. I wonder how would Watson answer if the host started saying jokes about Irishmen...
This isn't really all that fair. I mean there is actually one person's brain working behind a single -human's- jeopardy podium. Them and them alone. Only what they remember, which can be difficult at times. But Watson was programmed to remember everything he was ever taught, and would've been taught by everyone who programmed him...more than one human brain in one jeopardy player. It's an unfair advantage.
I find the storage capacity of the 15 TBs of Watson to be interesting. The 3D Interactive Virtual compatiple system will require much more than 15TBs to operate at minimum capacity because it goes way beyong your average CGI. It's like almost like carrying hollow deck in a compact visor. OOPS! did I give something way?
Anyone else think that Watson just answers questions faster? I mean, look to the guy on the left. He's clicking almost every time but he's just not clicking fast enough.
@CenkIsAdorable, that's because Jeopardy buzzers work differently from what most people think. Jeopardy buzzers are frozen when Alex is reading. If a contestant buzzes in before the question is finished, he/she is locked out for five seconds (which of course is plenty of time for someone else to steal the answer). The trick is to buzz in immediately after the question is finished being read, which of course gives the computer an advantage to a certain extent.
this is so amazing a great step for humans by losing to one fo their creations - this is the 2nd time IBM has done this the first when 1st was when they beat kasparov so bad he had a mental meltdown and was only good for politics
Hey guys, if you're into game shows check out this new Internet game show that anyone can play and win just by watching the video clues. The show is called Cash Clues
I'd like to see Google or Microsoft or whoever create an AI competitor to go up against Watson. A Jeopardy fight among 3 AI machines would be an awesome annual event!
Impressive work but I was disappointed that Watson got the question directly in electronic form. That alone gives it an advantage in accuracy and maybe a few extra ms of time.
idk how to take this, i'm actully not that impressed, it seems to me based on the info i heard in the show that its really just a giant database, of everything known, and when trebeck asks a question its like the computer performs a very fast search for keywords in the question then based on the simularities of the important words he does another search which provide him with his "answers" and to the most relevant and possible simularities to the first "key words that go together.
Don't get me wrong it's a very impressive piece of technology, but I get the feeling what we're really proving here is that a machine can 'press' an electronic button faster than a human can press a physical one.
Harry Potter is the prime suspect for Moody's and Snape's murders?! And Dumbledore being a suspect as well, after being murdered himself by Snape?! Watson, you just made Potter fans all over the world cry.
I've just read the book Final Jeopardy by Steven Baker Chroniclizing the development of Watson. Very fascinating read, I'm actually strongly considering studying computer science now.
I was super disappointed when Watson wasn't confident in his answer for the Harry Potter question... the most beautiful literacy is lost on a computer (:
I want a Watson. I'm already bored with my iPhone 4. Eventhough I can access every bit of knowledge the Internet has to offer... Even the dirty ones lol. I want Watson to simple tell me the answer. Hey Watson, is a "dude" really a hair on an elephant's butt?
Truly revolutionary. A giant computer an refrigeration unit. Yeah, truly amazing. It's not amazing when it's that huge. It should just use the cloud. Why can't IBM Just be modern, and not go 1940-60s...
I find the size of Watson to be very funny...in the same EXACT way that we find a room-sized computer from the 50's to be humorous.
Today, a computer just as powerful as those 1950's behemoths can fit in our pockets. In less than 10 years, Watson will fit in our pockets as well.
If you're wondering how it will happen so fast, technological progression isn't linear... it's exponential. So, what took 60 years to do, will take a LOT less time going forward. The future isn't far off at all...
Every YT video .. some how .. stupid ickle boys managed to find them . and for reasons only known to them,,
feel compelled to type the same old boring pointless insults.
why ? You thinking I must comment ..the world needs to know I have an empty head..with nothing worthwhile to say..so I'll show everyone just how backward I am when STFU is all I can think up ( and no doubt "your momma" as an opyional 2nd ).
@siciliano29 Yes, but there will be limits to advancement (e.g, we can't fit as much silicon in the processors because the electricity would jump from one transistor to another.)
@siciliano29 Er, kinda-sorta: while it's been that way for decades (the exponential growth, in accordance with Moore's Law), there is in fact an upper limit (damn universe and it's limits...), so eventually we won't be able to progress any further. It's also the same with any other progress in which the limits of the universe will stop it: the closer we get to the limits of the universe, the slower our progression, and eventually we simply run into a wall and have to stick with what we have.
@siciliano29 And with that said, I generally concur that you're right about Watson being able to fit in our pocket eventually, though from my math it looks like between 18 and 20 years (if computers are doubling in speed every 18 months (Moore's Law), and the modern palm PC is only 1/10000 as powerful for example, it would take 13 to 14 more times of the processing power doubling to get there, and (13 x 18 months) / 12 months = 19.5 years)
And then again I guessed on the palm PC's speed ratio..
@siciliano29 naa i think it'll be a personal comp in a bit less then ten years, year 2020 is the year the personal computer is expected to exeed human capacity, it'll prbbly take a few more years till we got it in our pockets, two or three pbbly.
but yeah know year 2045 is the year human will gain ethernal life, virtualy ;P
@thecryingsoul Quantum tunneling means that there is a finite limit to miniaturization of our current technologies, meaning unless there are drastic new technologies a computer of this power may never be small enough to fit in our pockets
@DatAwkwardWhale oh ho it will i promise you. and when the material we use now isn't enough we will find a substitute. in fact there is already tecnologies that alows programing in 3systems instead of in 2system, the only reason it isn't in use is bc's it would take a lot of effort to recreate all we have now in a different system code.
even the most negative scientists believe that human discoveries will begin to decrease in about 1000 years.
@siciliano29 but CPU speed in the last 10 years has been lucky to get an 8% increase... from 1950-now, it has shot up on average on about 30-40% speed increase each year.
no matter what kind of computer humans make we will always be smarter because we have something they will never ever have although they call it this. A REAL FULLY WORKING BRAIN that is able to do a lot of stuff like judge distances with little to no information and be able to figure out if its to far to go or how fast we have to go <- just a example. they are many more examples out their
i am pretty sure those 2 are not worlds best, just best in USA

I was super disappointed when Watson wasn't confident in his answer for the Harry Potter question... the most beautiful literacy is lost on a computer (:

I want a Watson. I'm already bored with my iPhone 4. Eventhough I can access every bit of knowledge the Internet has to offer... Even the dirty ones lol. I want Watson to simple tell me the answer. Hey Watson, is a "dude" really a hair on an elephant's butt?

Truly revolutionary. A giant computer an refrigeration unit. Yeah, truly amazing. It's not amazing when it's that huge. It should just use the cloud. Why can't IBM Just be modern, and not go 1940-60s...

I find the size of Watson to be very funny...in the same EXACT way that we find a room-sized computer from the 50's to be humorous.
Today, a computer just as powerful as those 1950's behemoths can fit in our pockets. In less than 10 years, Watson will fit in our pockets as well.
If you're wondering how it will happen so fast, technological progression isn't linear... it's exponential. So, what took 60 years to do, will take a LOT less time going forward. The future isn't far off at all...

do keep in mind moores law states that technology will advance every 2 years. nor less no more unless humanity succumbs to total economic collapse.

P.S. Alex Trebek has such an awesome voice to listen to lol I could listen to him drone on for hours.

@siciliano29 That's because Watson has over 2000 processors and 15 Terabytes of RAM. It's godly.

@siciliano29 Yes, but there will be limits to advancement (e.g, we can't fit as much silicon in the processors because the electricity would jump from one transistor to another.)

@siciliano29 Er, kinda-sorta: while it's been that way for decades (the exponential growth, in accordance with Moore's Law), there is in fact an upper limit (damn universe and it's limits...), so eventually we won't be able to progress any further. It's also the same with any other progress in which the limits of the universe will stop it: the closer we get to the limits of the universe, the slower our progression, and eventually we simply run into a wall and have to stick with what we have.

@siciliano29 And with that said, I generally concur that you're right about Watson being able to fit in our pocket eventually, though from my math it looks like between 18 and 20 years (if computers are doubling in speed every 18 months (Moore's Law), and the modern palm PC is only 1/10000 as powerful for example, it would take 13 to 14 more times of the processing power doubling to get there, and (13 x 18 months) / 12 months = 19.5 years)
And then again I guessed on the palm PC's speed ratio..
Truthiness231 5 months ago
@siciliano29 naa i think it'll be a personal comp in a bit less then ten years, year 2020 is the year the personal computer is expected to exeed human capacity, it'll prbbly take a few more years till we got it in our pockets, two or three pbbly.
but yeah know year 2045 is the year human will gain ethernal life, virtualy ;P

@thecryingsoul Quantum tunneling means that there is a finite limit to miniaturization of our current technologies, meaning unless there are drastic new technologies a computer of this power may never be small enough to fit in our pockets

@DatAwkwardWhale oh ho it will i promise you. and when the material we use now isn't enough we will find a substitute. in fact there is already tecnologies that alows programing in 3systems instead of in 2system, the only reason it isn't in use is bc's it would take a lot of effort to recreate all we have now in a different system code.
even the most negative scientists believe that human discoveries will begin to decrease in about 1000 years.
the increase in processing is about 60% a year.

@siciliano29 but CPU speed in the last 10 years has been lucky to get an 8% increase... from 1950-now, it has shot up on average on about 30-40% speed increase each year.

no matter what kind of computer humans make we will always be smarter because we have something they will never ever have although they call it this. A REAL FULLY WORKING BRAIN that is able to do a lot of stuff like judge distances with little to no information and be able to figure out if its to far to go or how fast we have to go <- just a example. they are many more examples out their
