Is it Watson or Franklin? I'm confused....

It’s not a new question, but it’s one we can’t ignore this week as two of the best “Jeopardy!” contestants to ever play the game struggle to beat Watson -- an IBM computer created to solve complicated logic-based problems."

I'm surprised that I haven't heard from the project students for weeks! I assume you've all decided to finish your projects in semester two. Is that correct?

I'm available today Friday after 18:20 (all be in F603 until then...). Next week February 4th, I'm available in C124 at 5pm.

looking to hearing from all my project ghosts soon!
