Introduction to B This is Watson

چکیده
In 2007, IBM Research took on the grand challenge of building a computer system that could compete with champions at the game of Jeopardy!i. In 2011, the open-domain question-answering (QA) system, dubbed Watson, beat the two highest ranked players in a nationally televised two-game Jeopardy! match. This paper provides a brief history of the events and ideas that positioned our team to take on the Jeopardy! challenge, build Watson, IBM Watsoni, and ultimately triumph. It describes both the nature of the QA challenge represented by Jeopardy! and our overarching technical approach. The main body of this paper provides a narrative of the DeepQA processing pipeline to introduce the articles in this special issue and put them in context of the overall system. Finally, this paper summarizes our main results, describing how the system, as a holistic combination of many diverse algorithmic techniques, performed at champion levels, and it briefly discusses the team’s future research plans.

Approximating the Distributions of Singular Quadratic Expressions and their Ratios
Noncentral indefinite quadratic expressions in possibly non- singular normal vectors are represented in terms of the difference of two positive definite quadratic forms and an independently distributed linear combination of standard normal random variables. This result also ap- plies to quadratic forms in singular normal vectors for which no general representation is currently available. The ...

Introduction: Patient response to trauma problems is influenced by individualchr('39')s cultural and spiritual background. This highlights the importance of spiritual and human care; nurses pay less attention to it.

Watson-Crick Quantum Finite Automata
one-way quantum finite automata are reversible in nature, which greatly reduces its accepting property. In fact, the set of languages accepted by one-way quantum finite automata is a proper subset of regular languages. In this paper, we replace the tape head of one-way quantum finite automata with DNA double strand and name the model Watson-Crick quantum finite automata. The noninjective comple...
