One of the major difficulties of this supercomputer, is to figure out if the questions contain elements of irony or metaphor. Watson to win the event to its two human opponents and correctly answer the three questions, showed the degree of success attributed to each of them. In the competition test, Watson won $ 4,400 and their opponents 3,400 to 1,200 respectively.
IBM's goal, has been working four years in the project is to highlight their progress in artificial intelligence.
As you know, earlier in 1997, the IBM computer Deep Blue beat chess champion, Garry Kasparov .
Here you can see the video prepared by IBM supercomputer presentation Watson. If you can win the contest, the proceeds will go to charitable funds.
