The University of Maryland School of Medicine is helping to educate a new student: a computer that gained fame on the TV quiz show, “Jeopardy.” In mid-February, Watson, an IBM computer capable of answering verbal questions posed in natural language, appeared on “Jeopardy” and defeated champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. Now, the University of Maryland medical school has joined IBM, software developer Nuance and Columbia University Medical Center to apply Watson’s technology to medicine.
