Wolfram Research’s new product Alpha to compete with Google and …
Wikinews
Wolfram Alpha is described by Stephen Wolfram (CE of Wolfram Research Inc. ) as a ?computational knowledge engine?. Unlike Google Yahoo and other traditional web search engines that rely on statistical methods for retrieving online documents Wolfram Alpha answers factual questions in the way that Wikipedia does except it relies on analytical methods instead of human-generated documents. Although the product is still in a limited release some details about its operation and design have been revealed by Wolfram on his blog and by Nova Spivack who recently interviewed Wolfram about Wolfram Alpha. The product is available on the Web as a single search box reminiscent of Google?s main search page. The search queries can be entered in natural language and the natural language system will parse the query and use models of knowledge (ontologies) and human-curated data to return an answer including graphs and other representations. The ontologies and data are managed by Wolfram employees who must input new ontologies and data by hand or occasionally with the assistance of programmatic tools.

The bama campaign charged that the Bush Administration had participated in “socialism” by way of bank ownership by the US Government. Actually the term they should have used was “communism.

Did Wikipedia spoil the winner of America’s Best Dance Crew Season Three – which airs tonight?The post by someone named Dom says he (she?) spotted a Wikipedia update which declared that Quest crew won the competition. The reason this post seems legit to me: the same thing happened last season. I noticed then that results were posted on the ABDC wikipedia page in advance of airing then erased a few hours later.
