- simple progammes can do incredible things
- the ultimate goal for WA is to be able to answer any single question, by using computational science
- WA doesn’t tell the answer only, but correlates them with similar answers, topics and knowledge
- the basic idea is that you can ask the answer with natural language and WA uses computation to find the answer
- answers are curated, so it could not be only web based, but it had to base its answers on datas not available if not inside libraries and science laboratories
- the backend is more than 10mio code lines
- 90% of the queries are understood
- once the input is typed a methodology is applied to give back not only a single answer
- its based both on public and internal datas created through computation and users feedback
- WA future is to do things based on users inputs
- in the future WA will be used in a predictive way -> by listening to the environment it will present users with answer based on context
- the code is not linked to any platform, but can be taken and integrated anywhere
- WA is becoming a programming language based on computation -> everyone, even without programming skills, will be able to code by inputting what they wanna do and the code will be created to generate the working code
- this technology can now be embedded in very low cost technology like RPI
- WA is also creating a system to connect to every platform, from sensors to smartphones
- WA personal analytics for facebook to combine all the informations by any users (type “facebook profile” in WA)
- everyone in the world should study data science
- WA is working on diagnostic system application for medicine based on computational science since tons of datas about hospital patience are available and can be used. also drugs can be perfectly customized based on patient data.
