Preparing Watson for the Jeopardy stage posed a unique challenge to the team: how to represent a system of 90 servers and hundreds of custom algorithms for the viewing public. IBM, in collaboration with a team of partners, created a representation of this computing system for the viewing audience; from its stage presence to its voice. Who knew the spinning sphere had so much meaning?! Check out another one of my favorite Watson videos Building Watson. Tomorrow, Febuary 14, 2011, America will witness Watson compete on Jeopardy on TV against two of the show's biggest winners Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter.
