Debates and discussions, when they happen in a respectful way and with realistic arguments, are important and add a lot to the point of view of each one. Currently, the digital world allows discussions to be more and more frequent, however, they hardly follow these norms and quickly end up becoming just exchanges of insults. With that in mind, the IBM created a system of artificial intelligence towards this objective, the Project Debater. 3o5r2a
This system aims to form discussions e debates with human beings on controversial and complex issues, but ensuring that it is a debate that adds something and does not simply become a pointless fight, with impartial arguments.
IBM and the Successor of Watson 484d16
But this is not the first step of the IBM in this field of artificial intelligence. The system Watson has already become well known for his ability to converse and respond to human questions, even becoming famous on American TV shows. The company itself stated that the Project Debater is a successor to Watson, bringing new elements to this dynamic.
Watson is able to answer the questions in a logical way, but it is stuck with the old system of questions and answers, and open or loose questions. already the Project Debater will be able to go beyond that, not only answering the questions and bringing information, but using as arguments in a more complex subject with coherence, that is, he manages to understand the context of a conversation.
How does Project Debate work? 2m4e3o
In summary, the IBM managed to create, in algorithms, a system capable of hold debates. He is able to understand the questions and speeches within the context of the conversation and, through this, decide on a position on the subject addressed. It works not just through one task, which is debating, but several small tasks that result in a debating.
Of course it is a complex system, there is no doubt. The company stated that it is still being finalized and that some adjustments still need to be made as Project Debater is still making mistakes. One of the points to be improved is the issue of the verbal expression of the system. He may do so differently in the future, where discussed issues divide opinion or where unbiased arguments may be needed.
