Question: how can the author know what Watson really is doing unless the author worked on Watson?
If you're going to try and explain the above to me, don't do it by explaining what Watson "really" is doing (unless you worked on Watson yourself). Explain exactly how you can tell the difference from the outside.
As far as I can tell all the author did was point out that Watson made a mistake (saying that Dylan's songs is about love fading) and this is not enough, since humans make mistakes too.
- abhgh 8y agoI am not sure if the author did this (he certainly doesn't mention it), but a lot of what constituted Watson at the time of Jeopardy was published as a set of 17 papers called "This is Watson" in the IBM Journal Of Research and Development. Other than that too, I think you can make a reasonable assessment of any NLP system at this level of abstraction by looking at what is cutting edge in NLP today (by following conference proceedings etc).
