My baby was on Nova tonight!

I am SO proud!  The computer's name is Watson and my baby helped him learn to think -- and to answer jeopardy questions. So far I don't know who won the games that will be on Mon, Tues and Wed of next week, but I do know that Watson had a great showing in the previews and was featured on Nova last night.

Here is a cute photo of him ... http://www-03.ibm.com/innovation/us/watson/research-team/strategy.html


The bluejay on my card is because that was the name of the project several years ago when David first started working on it.

  2. Omygosh....I watched Nova last night and am a Jeopardy fan. How exciting. My DH was in graduate school in the 60's and was sooo excited about AI, but like the program said it was nowhere near as easy as was first looking. You have every reason to be proud!

  3. I don't even know how to express how awesome that is - maybe Watson could do it, but I can't! You must be so proud!
