On Monday and Tuesday, March 18-19, 2013, Prof. Dr. Chris Biemann and Dr. Alfio Gliozzo will present a two-day tutorial on the Watson Deep QA architecture. Open domain Question Answering (QA) is a long-standing research problem. Recently, IBM took on this challenge in the context of Jeopardy!, a well-known TV quiz show. The development of a system able to compete with grand champions in the Jeopardy! challenge led to the design of the DeepQA architecture and the implementation of Watson.
