The largest machine that man in Jeopardy

The final round of Jeopardy winner with Watson has spent $ 77.147, against $ 24 000 to Ken Jennings and $ 21 600 Brad Rutter. We report the details of the first leg in our current "Jeopardy: man vs. machine." We left Watson, the IBM system has tied with Brad Rutter. The second and third rounds were won handily by the machine that has dominated its competitors.

Specifically, Big Blue has shown the most advanced artificial intelligence that he had ever seen in public. The system was fast and very often right. He had some difficulties with puns or innuendo, which shows that the machines are still many limitations to overcome. However, the greatest weakness of Watson was probably the lack of a sense of humor.

IBM has spent six billion dollars annually in research and development to achieve this victory. It will give the million dollars he won in a charity. The firm will now use the language skills and analysis of Watson for various fields such as medicine, especially diagnostic aid.
