    When can people on the Internet start asking Watson questions

    I’m studying Artificial Intelligence in Amsterdam at the moment and I can’t wait to help develop Watson 2.0

    Are the slides used in this presentation online? I’d love to use them in my own small presentation about Watson.

    @AnitaCock of course. please make any other scientific breakthrough completely insignificant, which was made possible with the help of IBM because I beg you to overrate the finding you think you have made there even more. How tasty was my little frenchman?

    WOW! “IBM & THE HOLOCAUST” is a popular subject of videos! It’s AMAZING how many videos there are, on the subject of “IBM & THE HOLOCAUST”! Without IBM machines, HITLER COULDN’T OF WIPED OUT 6 MILLION VICTIMS!!!!!

    “Watson is a triumphant celebration of thirty years of advances in efficiently indexing a large, broad library of texts, and fifty years of advances in statistical machine learning that can train on a huge set of past Jeopardy! example clues and responses,” says machine learning pioneer Doug Lenat of Cycorp Inc. in Austin, Tex.

    The idea I had was if a computer such as watson could hear a human voice process the words (which would not be hard because cell phones already have this ability).

    @doom032 yes,but it,s a child know, it learns.see it as the development from DOS to Windows for example and look at the size if Watson, the first pc where just as big, 20 years later we have labtobs an use internet on cellphones.

    @doom032

    and its know how to reply :D

  21. doom032 on January 28, 2012 at 9:24 pm

    @mrpishi1 It’s not really smart, it just knows a lot.

    @jameschuston
    another typo in your correction itself.

    ln ((12546798*pi) )^ 2 / 34567.46 = 0.00885 (instead of your 0.00855 :-)

    and removing the extra parens.. simplifies to

    ln (12546798*pi) ^ 2 / 34567.46 = 0.00885

    @jameschuston
    I agree, I came to the same answer. the paren changes the answer to .001011191733
