London, April 28 : In a head to head challenge of man versus machine, IBM is all set to pit a supercomputer code-named ''Watson'' against human contestants in the famed trivia quiz show Jeopardy.
According to a report by BBC News, ''Watson'' is a new question-answering system based on natural language.
"The aim is to get Watson to think and interact in human terms," said Dr David Ferrucci, an IBM artificial intelligence researcher and team leader on the project.
