• I think some of the idea here is to see if we can do, or the DeepQA stuff can do, what Eric suggests. I thought I'd read the the medical version of Watson was kind of like this, learning over time as it interacted with doctors.

    As far as Jeopardy goes, the computer was loaded with a database, just like humans are. They tried to mimic some fast learning. Once the show started, the computer had no connections to any databases other than what was in it's storage/mind.

    I'm not sure this was a bad test.
