IBM provides a lot of information about Watson on their web site. http://www-03.ibm.com/innovation/us/watson/
The front page of http://www.research.ibm.com/ has several links - I don't see a way to provide a link to the "article" as a whole. The natural language processing of the questions is non-trivial; Jeopardy uses highly idiomatic forms of language. Watson, I believe, would buzz if it had a certain confidence level in its answer - it already knew the specific answer and was confident in that answer. A human would buzz if he had it "on the tip of his tongue", expecting that the actual answer would surface in a few seconds.
