Roger Craig Wins Jeopardy Championship with Knowledge Tracking

November 17, 2011

Roger Craig had a dream of being on Jeopardy, and he took a QS approach to making it happen. He downloaded all historical Jeopardy questions and answers into a database, clustering the questions by topic and keyword, and built a web tool around it to quiz himself. He visualized his answers to see where his knowledge gaps were and help him optimize his learning. Roger actually got to test his system by playing some actual rounds of Jeopardy, with surprising results! UPDATE: This week, Roger won the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions and became the show’s 4th highest winner in history. Congratulations, Roger! If you haven’t seen his video below, check it out.
