  • Talk: 00:00 - 10:30 introduction & motivation for making the question answering system (Wolfram Alpha) 10:30 - 26:15 ultra cool Wolfram language demos 26:15 what is in principle possible to do with computation? 44:45 how do we make use of all of that stuff Questions: 58:55 knowledge representation within Wolfram Alpha, how do different domains interact? 1:03:45 who or what are your key influences? 1:09:20 wolfram language for describing purpose/philosophy? 1:15:54 do molecules compute? what do you mean by that? 1:21:00 elaborate on searching the computing spaces? 1:24:00 how should we teach kids about AI/computational thinking? (great answer! IMHO) 1:38:20 how far away are we from learning machines to explain stuff to humans? 1:41:10 follow up question: personalized learning, can we do it? 1:44:10 Newton seashell quote and what would Franz Liszt say :) 1:52:10 the evolution of purposes Thanks for the amazing series! My try to give a small contribution back :)

    this man has an enourmous amount of knowledge and thoughts in his mind
  • I don't know till now that he is the brain behind the concept of language in the movie The Arrival. He is definitely one of the greatest minds of this time.
  • @DeltrusPoE
    Steven wolfram's cellular automaton and his book "a new kind of science" is genius. I love the idea of "mining" infinity for new programs etc.
  • @dantedt3931
    Mr Wolfram is a true genius. Wolfram Alpha helped me a lot in my Applied Maths studies.
  • @77predecessor
    On the road to learning science, Stephen Wolfram is the light that leads me forward.
  • @jstov
    Thanks for sharing on YouTube. I hope you keep sharing lectures. They are so inspiring.
  • Wolffie! I'm your groupie since I was 17! We love you! 😍
  • @icurtispe
    This is fascinating! Excellent course!
  • @janefreider
    Wow, very impressive lecture and I'm amazed by his vast knowledge. Now need to check out his books! And ditto on the problem with our math education! Teaching analytical thinking is a way to go instead of how to compute integrals...
  • @vinm300
    Wolfram is a very deep, under-appreciated, thinker.
  • @bommaritohawaii
    The ending is profound... and he was just getting warmed up
  • @rpcruz
    Real interesting. I didn't think Wolfram Alpha also made use of neural networks. Awesome stuff!
  • @ImtithalSaeed
    I benefit every single word in this series so I am enjoying
