Wolfram knowledge engine
April 29th, 2009 by drnn1076Hi, some weeks ago I read that Wolfram Research is planning to contend Google’s supremacy on Internet.
The initiative is reported in The Guardian, and comprises a knowledge search engine based on natural language entries. For that purpose Stephen Wolfram believes his scientific and mathematics engine might give better results in answering normal and usual questions than any of the current search engines. Wolfram is the developer of Mathematica®.
Wolfram published a book with what he calls a new kind of science, which is a good reading to get more information and context about the person behind this project. The book is available here.
The engine is coming soon: Wolfram|Alpha
If you are interested on you can follow the project: here
This engine sounds like a step forward in fulfilling the Asimov’s all mighty computer: Multivac.

I was applying for the early access program a few weeks ago, but all I got was some newsletters until now. Did anybody succeed?

. I think they gave, initially, access just to newspapers and specialised magazines.
