For Google us for specific information on something we have to change the way we express ourselves. The syntax is not valid for human searching, you need to skip items, to the point and not use phrases or expressions.
But this way of searching the Internet could be days, a new tool claims to be able to understand simple questions and interpret correctly, concrete, and made in the manner of people.
Wolfram Alpha system, submitted a few days ago at Harvard University, promises a lot. Its inventors say it is able to interpret questions like How tall is Mount Everest?, And give concrete answers (the number of meters in this case).
Some media, such as rotary The Independent say that English is “the invention that will change the Internet forever.” Some call it as “the murderer of google”, some “new Wikipedia” is still not very clear exactly what it is. Its inventor, the British physicist Stephen Wolfram, defines it as an “engine of computational intelligence.” There are many that qualify as revolutionary. “What might be the implications? Could be the beginning of artificial intelligence or a step towards a self-organized”, said an expert on new technologies to Tom Simpson The Independent.
Capable of crossing data
According to its inventors it really revolutionary Wolfram Alpha is its ability to cross data intelligently. For example, the browser can compare the height of Everest to the length of the aqueduct of Segovia, or may point in degrees Celsius which was the temperature in London the day he killed J. F Kennedy. Would be able to point out when the next solar eclipse or indicate the exact position of the International Space Station.
But skeptics see this new invention of a more propaganda. “If asked about the Iraq war say it is’ a war based on false assumptions that led the U.S. into bankruptcy” or on the contrary, ‘a campaign to fight terrorism and build a safer world? ” , asks Alex Jones of Prison Planet web policy.
It is expected that later this month when he Wolfram Alpha be available to the public, these questions are answered.
