IBM Watson, the Jeopardy Winning computer at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) on March 30th, 2011. After beating the Jeopardy grandmasters Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, IBM Watson Goes to School to challenge students at Carnegie Mellon University and University of Pittsburgh in a Jeopardy like Question Answering game.

I, for one, do not welcome our new computer overlords. With some luck (and an SQL Injection Attack to delete all its data), managed to end this threat to mankind (or may be they removed the cables...Anyway its off now). Threat averted!

My program advisor, Dr Eric Nyberg and his PhD sudents Nico Schlaefer and Hideki Shima have contributed a lot of geekyness to Watson over the last 3 years. Personally, I am building my second automated question answering this system this semester (studying Masters in Very Large Information Systems - VLIS).

Umbrella fight at Carnegie Mellon Univeristy. While Graduation Degrees are still an year ahead, getting CMU branded stuff mid-degree is a nice souvenir. Moreover, free Umbrellas on a raining day is priceless.

Students from Carnegie Mellon's Very Large Information Systems (VLIS) program, taking some time of from their otherwise infamously rigorous routine (Even from CMU standards)

Favourite quote : "Leaving early! Is everything Ok?" (Student commenting while I was leaving university at 1:30 am in the night)
