I saw this being advertised on the television multiple times while watching the playoffs. I didn’t think anything of it, just thought it was a new computer that they were going to use to check people’s answers on Jeopardy. Reading through the article, I found it is instead a computer that will act like a contestant on the show. The article began by talking about vagaries. I had never heard that word before but it explained it. Vagaries of language means that the question can be interpreted in a number of ways. It’s not like the computer just registers what is being said, it first makes a list of all of the potential answers and then decides which seems to be the best fit. I was surprised at how fast the computer does that since the first few questions it seemed to answer instantaneously.
