Can you explain why it is you think that the knowledge part is confounded? If Watson is fast but incorrect, it's a failure.

- RickHull 16y agoThe knowledge part is confounded because buzzer performance preempts knowledge performance.
- shadowfox 16y agoCan you explain? (I didn't quite get the preempt part). Watson seems to be getting answers correct as well
- defen 16y agoA Watson that knows 70% of the answers will beat a human who knows 90% of the answers, purely due to better reflexes. Of course, buzzer skill is partly how KenJen won so many games, so I'm not complaining. Just not AS impressed by Watson as some people.
- JunkDNA 16y agoExcept that it's not just reflexes. Watson has to compute the answer before the humans. That's no small task. This video is a great technical explanation of how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G2H3DZ8rNc&feature=youtube_gdata_player http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G2H3DZ8rNc&feature=youtu...
