International Business Machines Corp. will pit one of its computers against past champions of the "Jeopardy!" quiz show, more than a decade after another IBM machine defeated chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov.

"Watson," as the computer is called after IBM founder Thomas J. Watson, will square off against Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter in a contest scheduled to air Feb. 14, said IBM researcher Dave Ferrucci in an interview. Jennings has the longest win streak in the show's history and Rutter won more money than any other player.
