I hope someone writes down all the answers (questions?) and feeds them into google so we can have a Google-Watson showdown. (Oh, we need a third contestant, how about bing too).
- SoftwareMaven 16y agoIs it bad that I thought "Oh, so you are going to have Google compete twice"? ;) It would be interesting to feed to clues into Google to see what comes out. There are easy ones like http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=1150&bih=636&q=milorad+cavic+almost+upset+this+mans+perfect+2008+olympics,+losing+to+him+by+one+hundredth+of+a+second&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=115... but I'm sure there are also some that Google wouldn't have a clue.
- pbhjpbhj 16y agoI was interested in this too - http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/fl477/tonight_a_computer_will_compete_on_jeopardy_this/c1guc4q http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/fl477/tonight_a_... was the first few clues fed in to Google. What I found was that the answer was in the snippets on the first SERP but certainly for some of the questions it seemed pretty hard to parse it out. Also I think Jeopardy got 1 or possibly 2 answers wrong - White City was the City of the 1908 Olympics, it was in London Borough or Greater London but not in the City of London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London). White City is a borough and not a city, which makes this a really hard question for a computer to answer I think. - Nagini killed whatever Harry Potter character was mentioned ; I'm not familiar with the series and didn't see this question this was just based on a comment on Reddit and a Google for "killed $CharName" (I have a really bad memory).
