Jeopardy Fail - "What is Leg"

Skeeve says...

Watson had some funny answers, including the Final Jeopardy question, but he blew both humans away - he won with $35,734 to Rutter's $10,000 and Jenning's $4800 (and that is after the humans effectively doubled their scores).

Absolutely fascinating. I'm going to give this another promote as the Jeopardy Episodes start tonight! (February 14th)


Let's get Siftbot on it too for the next game event. Maybe he can beat IBM Watson!

While they mentioned Chess, there was no mention of the Computer Go problem, that is, getting a computer to be able to play Go beyond the level of studied amateur. Still a great episode of Nova as usual. I would love to see IBM tackle that next since that would solve a few more key issues like visual/spacial issues, then combine wherever they are with the Deep Blue and their goals of the Watson program with whatever they would call their Go computer and you would have a fairly nice AI system.
I wonder why they didn't plug in speech recognition so it could hear the answers... of course at the same time a real Jeopardy player may buzz in before he finishes so I guess it needs to be able to see the answer at the same time...

This was only the first round score. It went on:

"Though Watson ended the exhibition in the lead with $4,400 compared to Jenning’s $3,400 and Rutter’s $1,200, a continuation of that battle shown on internal televisions during lunch revealed that Jenning had pulled ahead after scoring a Daily Double. Watson still isn’t perfect, it seems."

Actually, this story has been going around that the computer won. Which is WRONG! If you get the rest of the story, you'll know that the computer ends up getting stomped by Jennings by the end of the segment.

You're probably thinking of a different test. Watson did win the game shown in the video. Though they only played single Jeopardy. http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/13/ibms-wat

Final Score
Watson : $4,400
Ken : $3,400
Brad : $1,200.



I hope they do more of these with v2, v3, v4, Skynet, etc.

You can only buzz in after the answer is read.


Didn't they used to in the past? What happens if you did it early?


I think there might be a delay before you can buzz again. So it is disadvantageous to buzz early.


That's true, but the delay is only 1/4th of a second. So those contestants you see just furiously spamming the buzzer aren't stupid, it's still a valid strategy. At least you're almost guaranteed to get a buzz in within the first quarter second.

I think this is why the squishy humans have any chance to answer. It's got to be difficult for an AI to precisely judge when a question is over. I wouldn't be surprised if Watson uses the buzzer spam method.


I like to spam.

Oh, it seems Watson now has an actual buzzer that he has to hit with his robo digit. I'd say giving that thing a finger is a fatal step in the wrong direction.

From the latter half of the video it seems Watson will only buzz in if the probability of a correct answer is very high (green). If they set the cut-off lower, say 60%, it would have buzzed in much more often.

By the title of the video, I assumed that "destroy" meant the humans would have 0 points... It would have been much more intimidating if they had a "Cyberdyne Systems Model 101" standing between the 2 humans instead of a screensaver.
