IBM's Watson Supercomputer Destroys Humans in Jeopardy | Engadget

[@robertwhitley6233]

This was before Watson's fall from grace.He was busted on "To Catch A Predator".He showed up to the house nude,nothing covering his circuitry,looking for a freshly built Gaming PC straight out of the factory.He calculated that there was a 78% chance of it being a trap but he went to that house anyway.

[@ItsTickingTime]

Belated Plot twist: the "Factory" was really a house on North Man's Drive 3412 where they had built and sold Custom built gaming PC's for 300% markup of the original price of all the pieces put together

[@doodelay]

Wow they're actually answering faster that a computer that can read a million books per second and that has memorized wikipedia verbatim. Very impressive humans indeed :)

[@kvmairforce]

In 20 years, Watson 2.0 will be able to answer faster and better than every human (all 7 billion) on Earth combined.

[@nasragiel]

He is good yes, but look at the answers, the program is slower sometimes, but just by a few milliseconds and the computer seems to answer always right, we don't know if the human players would have answered *all* questions right, we can't see what they thought. :) This program is a masterpiece of software engineering from a scientific point of view. The questions are easy to understand for a human but a computer doesn't just look them up from a database, the game is challenging because you (and the computer) need to understand the semantics. And it's impressive how good that program does that!

[@lolzkeplar]

It seems to me as if Watson was allowing them to catch up and then when they were close, over, or matching his score he would speed up his answers. It seems to me his slow answering speeds were intentional.

[@TheLayeredKing]

It actually looked like under a certain % threshold, watson was either answering on a longer delay, or simply not answering because of, I don't know, a 30-35% or higher probability of error.

[@em00k]

Hmm, you're missing the point. It's much easier for a human to extrapolate the exact answer from the way the question is asked, the magic behind Watson is the way it's able to understand the speech and then work out and answer. Watson will hold back if the probability of an answer is not high enough. You can see when Watson answers his very sure of the answer. Watson doesn't just do a text search of a wiki!

It is just that if you personally consider these tasks difficult to do by saying "why not", I have enough evidence to assume that you have some troubles completing these chores.

[@coreyalejos3472]

+Fyn lol that's how you know robots have come far, if they don't have confidence.

[@KMR-232]

True but that's just a fragment of the whole competition. At the end Watson had 3x more winnings than its human opponents.

[@OliverJD]

That's how Watson works out answers. It comes up with an answer, and rates his confidence that it is correct. If it's below a certain threshold (as shown on screen) Watson keeps making answers until the threshold is exceeded, meaning that Watson answers as confidently as possible.

[@jordanshepetofsky2677]

1:38--1:39 It's so funny to hear Watson say "Chicks Dig Me". Then again, the name of the category itself, "Chicks Dig Me", is pretty funny. The people who come up with the names for the categories are brilliant.

[@lakshaybhatia1883]

To all the people out there saying that why the hell is a computer standing like a dummy and not answering despite having stored TBs of data... Harvard came out with a case study that I am doing in my B school.. The developers had a great challenge at their disposal. For eg machine had to estimate the confidence level before pressing the buzzer. So there were cases where Watson knew the answer but didn't go for the buzzer. It's a lot lot more complicated than what it seems like. So please google about the engineering marvel and read its history.

[@intheair1987]

Beating a computer even once is like already very good.

[@VulcanFleet]

As a trivia competitor, I can testify that reflexes are the most important part of these events. Watson's reaction time is probably orders of magnitude better than a human's, so if the humans can't buzz in until after the question has finished being read Watson has an advantage there. It's still fair competition, though: Watson is just really good.

Pre-installed information OR using the internet - what is the difference? It is still exactly the same process of the computer interpreting the question and searching a database using some form of analytical algorithm. Whether it searches a local database or the whole internet does not really change how it operates to answer the question.

[@creditsunknown7974]

I do hate how IBM is comparing it to human mind though. They're trying to say that it is almost human, but its just reciting facts. it has access to almost unlimited information on the web, that doesn't make it smart, it just knows how to look something up. Still very impressive.

[@m1croninja]

It's self-contained, it's not accessing the internet. You should watch the video on how it wins. It's not just querying and answering, Jeopardy is a unique challenge because the types of questions are so different, relying heavily on it's understandings of how humans use language vs. reciting stats and figures.

[@johnb8440]

I just looked it up, that is very impressive... but i still hold my opinion of its not even close to the human mind, but still very impressive

[@pah861]

John Burns What it really is, and why it is amazing, is that it can process natural language in a way never seen before. It can't create, but it can comprehend.

[@johnb8440]

Yeah, I guess that is pretty amazing when you put it that way.

[@AZURA888]

John Burns The watson computer power is near to the brain of a mouse with 20 billion neurons what is amazing, because a mouse is a mammal, so we finally have reached the final stretch, that's why Watson can do what we are watching "the understanding of the human language", using brute force algorithms to reach the power of a mammal, but this grows exponentially so for 2015 IBM will simulate the rat's brain, 2018 a dog, and one more time new capacities will appear, a human brain could run as soon as 2023 but the real impact will come 15 years after that when that capacity be widespread around the world.

[@DexLuther]

some people He would have probably answered every one correctly. The ones he wasn't able to was probably because it took a few extra fractions of a second for him to query whatever his database is.

[@Twiztid21893]

some people See, the thing with people making A.I that it isn't truly A.I is that the machine is too logical. If the A.I isn't 100% sure it has the right answer it will not buzz. Take into consideration the time it takes to correct it self rather than the time to gather, and resolve the information. True A.I can't be produced on a machine by what our standards of a machine is. We would need some sort of biological machine that can produce the chemicals humans use for basic functions in decision making, emotions, sense of self, etc. At the very least a flexible gel, or bio based brain that can move, and operate at a molecular level.

[@KeyChainer]

Twiztid21893​ that is what we are trying to achieve with computers, instead of have some chemical go off in our brain, it will leave a line of binary (or something like that) in something like the RAM or Storage. However, we still don't have a efficient enough way to make this happen/ don't have enough computing power to make this viable. (Just saying, light hearted comment, no intent to start a war)

[@noobnoobyify]

[@Graphomite]

It's QA technology. It isn't AI because it doesn't "learn," but it's more advanced than a vocal search engine because it breaks questions down grammatically to return a precise answer while a regular search engine just searches a query for keywords and pulls out the most relevant results. Regardless, Watson does not "talk" as advertised in commercials. It literally just translates questions into answers. But quality speech recognition/translation is still a really impressive and useful advancement. I'd love it if Siri could understand half the shit I asked of her. Now, Google's DeepMind technology, *that* shit is sci-fi. Uses neural networks. That's on a whole 'nother level of advanced.

[@LeeStone101]

@Adveloq By "faster than us" I actually meant in terms of reaction time, it takes a human half a second to react to anything external stimulus, computers are much faster than that in reaction time. But I agree with the rest of your comment, it is a complex issue.

[@JosephEMercado]

I don't get the hype. It's a computer. Obviously it knows the answers. Can someone explain?

[@SmokeyAshesEDM]

It doesn't know the answers. It's given a database of information and it is designed to learn and remember answers based on probability. Based off the question Watson has to think of what the answer could be, and if the probability is low it won't answer, and if the 2 answers both have a high probability it chooses it's best guess. So it isn't programmed to "play jeopardy" but think of a response to the answers based off of what it knows.

[@MightyAlex200]

it was not connected to the internet for one thing, and it also understood what the question was.

[@VuRp0]

It doesn't know the answers. It also didn't have internet access while playing. It only had a huge database of information, and learned by itself how to look up information from its database. It didn't have the answers programmed into it, it had actually learned how to play Jeopardy like a human would.

[@RickVegasGames]

Also, the act of answering the question is more complex then it sounds. Think about it. When you read what I say you have to be able to recognize what different sounds are being used together, then dicpher what their meaning is and turn that into some type of code to search for some phrase and answer in a database and then turn that into a coherent answer and response and then be able to use that answer in the future to answer a similar answer again based on information learned. The simple fact is that besides humans, no other creature we know of can do that on such a complex level. The closest is dolphins, then sorta: dogs, cats, elephants and whales. But they can't understand our complex language and all the rules and behaviors that have been created into it over thousands of years and ideas. The fact is, if a computer is able to outbeat us, it's a matter of time before a computer is able to outthink us. Want to talk about being able to sustain the technological growth? Or travel to the ends of the universe? Have a computer solve the problem for you. Have it create the technology. Then create the technology that should come after that. And then the ones after that. Realistically we're limited in intelligence, but if we can use something that is only meant to solve problems in our universe we have, then we'd be able to grow in such an amazing unprecedented way. The fact is, it's a big big deal.

Watson's advantages Part 2) Watson is a workload optimized system designed for complex analytics, made possible by integrating massively parallel processors and the IBM DeepQA software. Watson runs on a cluster of 90 IBM Power 750 servers for a total of 2880 processor cores and 16 Terabytes of RAM. Each server uses a 3.5 GHz POWER7 eight core processor, with four threads per core. That's what gives it the speed to analyze massive amounts of data and respond in less than 3 seconds.

If half the internet fits on 16TB of RAM, sure. I rather doubt it though.

It was able to take a natural language question spoken in english and "understand" it well enough to be able to construct the search in the first place. In one of the questions Watson got right, the word "Hubby" was used. This is the most amazing feat of artificial intelligence research since Deep Blue beat Kasparov.

Do u also kno that 20 years after that in the year 2050, computers/machines will be just as smart as humans, able to compute at the seem speed

[@TheChrisramsden]

How do we know you aren't a computer yourself? Just trying to shake us off your trail! My god! SKYNET!

[@VanceRox901]

@tiberiius well it can remember, and recall very quickly any document that has been put into it. it uses keywords to dig into documents and creates a list of possible answers which you saw in the video.

I'm sorry Jimmy, I'm afraid I can't do that. This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

[@omarsattack]

I guess the computer shooting lazers at people with explosions and shit was more metaphoric than I spected when reading the title...

[@manelbrichni6731]

Hi, do you have any documentation on Watson installation and how to put it in practice? Thank you

[@iCookie1]

What is remarkable is not the computer but the algorithm it uses to interpret the questions and search a database for answers

[@Angultra]

Can't believe this was so many years ago, feels like yesterday.

[@DOSTalks]

I would love to see him at the club celebrating after. "Give Watson his keys. Don't make me hit you" lol

[@thedetectorist108]

the issue with this exposition is it is not only a test of mental ability but also of reflex. the computer can immediately press the button on command, while humans have to think, "move my finger to press button," which gives an unfair advantage over humans. if it was really a test of mental capacity on a equal level, they need to give watson a button that he also has to press

[@PownyRider]

u dont need to think 'press the button'.. u do it by reflex, and whatson does it by beeing a certain % sure of his possible answer while givin the 'press button' command.. so he is actualy in a disadvantage

Quite a lot of Hospitals in New York now use Watson to advise on treatment. Not major treatment (that would be too dangerous) but it’s said that 90% of nursing decisions, in the hospitals that use it, are based on Watson’s advice. Amazing isn’t it. I bet people have no idea it even goes on. But nurses in these hospitals have access to AI, and pretty much consult it every single day

[@relcychoho]

it was pretty close the score - how come the title of video "computer 'destroys ' humans? that was actually a lie

[@filmnobelpreis]

Damn, I wanted to talk about the hat.

[@ramjam-zv7mi]

these guys were actually really good to sometimes buzz before the machine

[@wisestfoolalive]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe Watson uses a multitude of combinatorial algorithms via neural networking to link question (input) to answers (output).

In the words of Dr. Malcom from jurassic park."They were so focused on whether or not they could do it, that they didnt stop to think should we do it".
