FEBRUARY 11, 5:00 p.m. PST; 8:00 p.m. EST
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11, 2019, /CNW/ -- Join IBM (NYSE: IBM) as we advance one of the great boundaries in AI: mastering language. Based on pioneering research in natural language processing and deep learning, IBM Project Debater is the first AI system that can debate humans on complex topics and will take on its grandest challenge yet.
On Monday Project Debater will face a champion debater in front of a live audience in San Francisco. In this first-ever public debate, neither the AI nor its opponent will train on the topic of the debate in advance, leaving the audience to decide which debater was most persuasive.
What: Project Debater Live Debate
When: Monday, Feb. 11 - 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. PST, 8:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. EST
Where: Live webcast will be available at: https://www.ibm.com/events/think/watch/
In addition to watching the full live debate, you'll also hear from the scientists behind the technology, as they share details on the work that went into creating the system, which has been published in more than 30 research papers and produced nearly a dozen patents. John Donvan, four-time Emmy Award-winner and host of the Intelligence Squared U.S. debate series, will moderate the session. More details on debate logistics and the technology behind the system can be found on the IBM Research Blog.
