All three will be appearing on the Jeopardy! show on February 14, 15, and 16, 2011.
Check out the Jeopardy! website. It contains the news release 'IBM's 'Watson' Computing System to Challenge All Time Greatest Jeopardy! Champions.'
Harry Friedman, the executive producer of the show, stated, "We're thrilled that Jeopardy! is considered a benchmark of ultimate knowledge. Performing well on Jeopardy! requires a combination of skills, and it will be fascinating to see whether a computer can compete against arguably the two best Jeopardy! players ever."
