[Apr. 28] A Sneak Preview of Wolfram|Alpha: Computational Knowledge Engine | Berkman Center.

We mentioned the Wolfram Alpha search engine before, but it looks like there will be a sneak preview webcast available for those that are interested.

A Sneak Preview of Wolfram|Alpha: Computational Knowledge Engine

Stephen Wolfram, creator of Wolfram|Alpha and Mathematica, & Jonathan Zittrain, Professor of Law at Harvard Law School
Tuesday, April 28, 3:00 pm
Austin East Classroom, Austin Hall, Harvard Law School
RSVP Required via the form below or on Facebook
This event will be webcast live at 3:00 pm ET.
To participate remotely, submit questions via the question tool, @ reply/DM @BerkmanCenter on Twitter, or join the IRC.

There’s been great anticipation around Stephen Wolfram’s ambitious project to create a comprehensive “computational knowledge engine.”  The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University will host a sneak preview of the Wolfram|Alpha system, and a discussion of its underlying technology and implications.  Participants will include Wolfram|Alpha founder Stephen Wolfram and Jonathan Zittrain, Professor of Law.

See you there! :)
