This blog contains the random thoughts of a guy named Tommy. We'll share thoughts on writing, photography and anything else I want, because it's my blog and not yours.

IBM's Watson plays Jeopardy
Has anyone been watching Jeopardy on ABC lately, starting on Monday (Feb 14) and running through this evening (Feb 16)? While I don't normally watch this show, they are doing a special game pitting the two greats, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, at the game against IBM's Watson Computer.
It is absolutley facinating, after watching the PBS show Nova, which covered the technology behind Watson. Actually the computer seems to be winning. Of course it does come up with some "interesting" answers at times :-)
To have a computer understand the question, which is actually the answer, and then turn around and state the question is astonding. One thing that's interesting, when it wages money it comes up with exact dollar amounts. People will say $400, $500, or $1000, etc. But, watson on his last wager stated $473. Funny...but exact.

Good Morning Mr Snowman
Well, we woke up to another round of snow here in the sunny northeast of the US of A. :-) At least the guy behind the snowplow is making a living this year. Believe it or not, there are two cars parked here.
