Pam Watson

Explaining Watson

Our paper is actually two contributions in one. First, we argue that IBM’s Jeopardy! playing machine needs a formal semantics. We present several arguments as we discuss the system. We also situate the work in the broader context of contemporary AI. Our second point is that the work in this area might well be done as a broad collaborative project. Hence our “Blue Sky” contribution is a proposal...

PAM-SoC Experiments and Results

This report briefly presents PAM-SoC, a toolchain for predicting MPSoC platform performance, and its results on predicting the performance of a set of six benchmark applications.

Seasonal primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) in the south: summertime is PAM time.

Primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a typically fatal, free-living amebic infection of the central nervous system (CNS), is caused by the thermophilic, freshwater protozoan, Naegleria fowleri. More than 145 cases of PAM have been reported worldwide, with most reported cases in the United States (US). Since annual PAM case clusters in the US and worldwide have demonstrated recent increases...

E. A. Epstein M. I. Schor B. S. Iyer A. Lally E. W. Brown J. Cwiklik IBM Watsoni is a system created to demonstrate DeepQA technology by competing against human champions in a question-answering game designed for people. The DeepQA architecture was designed to be massively parallel, with an expectation that low latency response times could be achieved by doing parallel computation on many compu...
