I have already blogged about this new computational knowledge engine by Wolfram Research, as promised it’s now on-line at this address http://www.wolframalpha.com

Enjoy! 

Read this great article by Robert Raguet-Schofield.

This is really an incredible news.

Stephen Wolfram has announced today a new computational knowledge engine, named ”Wolfram Alpha“, that will be available on May 2009:

Using this system, we’ll be able to insert a generic question, formulated in natural language, and then obtain the answer retrieved by mixing information available on the Internet, in general trillions of pieces of curated data combined by millions of lines of algorithms.

Wow!

This ambitious project combines the power of Mathematica, A New kind of Science and a lot of human experts in order to obtain a new paradigm for using computers and the web.
