I find most fascinating the development of the Watson's understanding of
the concepts of "important" and "context" through computer learning.  The
point being to develop new information systems that can sift through data
and find patterns that can brought to bear on real-world problems.

The PTF you mention is available, but I don't think it was used in the
game.  Watson does not hear the other contestants' answers.  In the
trials, his performance rose in a category when he was given the others'
answers, wrong or right.  (You'll recall that he repeated the incorrect
answer "1920s".)

At least Watson hasn't learned to blush when he's wrong (though his sun
rays turn orange).  Yet.

Re: Watson

[O'Brien, Dennis L]

If Moore's Law holds for another 20 years, we could all have Watson running on 
our desktop PC's.  Alex Trebek said Watson has something like 2800 processors 
and 15 TB of RAM.  I'm not sure if that was 2800 cores, or the equivalent of 
2800 PC's (presumably dual or quad-core).

governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." -- James Madison,

Nova did an episode on the development of Watson and named the IBM executive 
who allegedly asked if IBM could program a computer to play Jeopardy after 
seeing the interest in Ken Jennings's win streak. I recognized his name: 
Charles Lickel, one of the past owners of VM. 

The Nova special discussed medical record keeping and other medical 
applications as an area where the improvements in natural language 
understanding might have a large pay-off.

I find most fascinating the development of the Watson's understanding of 
the concepts of "important" and "context" through computer learning.  The 
point being to develop new information systems that can sift through data 
and find patterns that can brought to bear on real-world problems.

The PTF you mention is available, but I don't think it was used in the

Perhaps the source code for Charlotte could be placed there as well, for
folks that would like to hack at it


Have a good one.

Although if you hide the banana in a thermos bottle full of warm wine and
citrus fruit and make him drink a lot of it, nobody expects the Sangria

"Past fund performance is not a guarantee of future earnings."

The only thing IBM has been talking about is the Statement of Direction 
for Single System Image and Live Guest Relocation, and no date has been 
given for the availability of those functions.  Since there has been no 
announcement, you can safely infer that availability is not imminent. (And 
I recommend that you don't come to SHARE with an expectation of an 
announcement.)

Until there is a VMnext product announcement, there's nothing much else to 
say. 

Folks who attend John Franciscovich's presentation on SSI/LGR at SHARE can 
try to make him reveal what he knows.  Just surround him and poke him with 
sharp sticks.  See if he'll squeal.  ;-)

There is a SHARE coming up.  Isn't that usually where things like that are
announced.? :-)

With the z/OS 1.13 announcement today out of the way, hopefully we will see
an announcement on the next z/VM release soon.

Re: CHARLOTTe Updates to WW2CORE REXX

[Fran Hensler]

Many thanks to Jonathon Scott for updating and maintaining CHARLOTTe
and to Perry Ruiter for uploading it to the IBM Download site at
http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/

The HTML entities I asked for (single and double quotes) have been
added and are working fine.

 hanks again guys.

z/VM 6.2 release date?

[Tom Huegel]

Has anyone heard of a release date for 6.2? If you follow the 18 month
(between releases) scenario April would be the target month.
