all right. chefs out there will tell you that the key to success in the kitchen is improvisation. but some ingredients like strawberries, mushrooms don t go together. they don t go the together, right? apparently they do. ibm teamed up with chefs at the institute of culinary education for a cooking experiment. and abc s trina trinh found out what happens when a computer makes dinner. here we go. if a computer can win jeopardy! could it also be the next top chef? that s the question ibm engineers set out to answer was watson, the cognitive computing system. we thought it would be interesting to take the next step and see if watson could help human beings come up with new ideas never seen before. that includes new ideas in the kitchen. but what exactly do you get when watson says you can make something with beef, chocolate and edamame? we ll get to that in a minute. first, it helps to understand how cognitive computing systems would. systems aren t necessarily
of cinnamon. are you serious? wow. this is one of watson s ideas. for the burrito sauce, how about melted chocolate with pureed apricots and vanilla beans. watson came up with the idea for these wonderful ingredients. it s a collaboration between human and computer. a collaboration with delicious results. what do we got going on here? i brought some burritos for you to try. a weird combination. i promise you it is not what you would expect but it s still pretty good. what are some of these other combinations? so some really crazy combinations here which are not expected but end up tasting pretty good in the official cookbook, this is the cognitive cookbook with chef watson. it is pretty good right? i can t place it but it s not bad.
wow. this was one of watson s ideas. i would never think to add cinnamon to beef. that s so cool. and for the burrito sauce, how about some melted chocolate with pureed apricots and vanilla bean. it may not be your typical burrito, but that s the point. mmm. he came up with the ideas for all these wonderful ingredients. without james, all you would have is a pile of ingredients. it really is a collaboration between a human and a computer. a collaboration with delicious results. all right. what have we got going on here? what is it you got in front of us? i brought burritos in for you guys to try. it s a weird combination but it actually smells good. i promise you it is not what you would expect but it s still pretty good. what are some of these other combinations? so some really crazy combinations here which are not expected. but end up tasting pretty good in this official cookbook. this is the cognitive cookbook with chef watson. this is pretty good. right?
programmed as much as they are taught. they learn from interactions with people. they read text. they read natural language just like you or i do. watson read recipes, thousands of them. that really taught the system things about what ingredients are commonly used together. in addition we gave it information about the underlying chemistry of those ingredients. it knows about the flavor compounds and how we might respond to them. watson came up with totally new ingredient pairings that real life chefs ran with. we re in the kitchen with chef james. we re going to make austrian chocolate burrito. this is kind of crazy. you have beef, chocolate, in a burrito together. with oranges, apricot, vanilla. and edamame. two different types of cheeses. i m going to trust you with this one. we ll get our beef going. let s do it. once the meat starts to get some color, we ll make our first unexpected step with a bit of cinnamon. are you serious?
social media they don t feel like they have to go hang out. you can face time your friends and don t get in the car and drive. come on. let s hop in the car and raise havoc. look at that. let s go for a ride after the show here. that s cruising. i don t know about this. this is a terrible idea. look like i just kidnapped you actually. that s not a good look. coming up a little later in the show, taking you inside a hidden world where ginger zee is to give you a never before seen look at some of the most secluded areas on the planet. first out of this world food pairings dreamt up by famed super computer watson. he can take on jeopardy opponents, but can he cook dinner? apparently so. his wildly weird and surprisingly wonderful pairings coming up in our insomniac kitchen. you re watching world news now. world news now continues after this from our abc stations.
