Lincoln Laboratory
Alice Wolf’s career started at M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory where she conducted perceptual research by programming the Memory Test Computer to display dot patterns to human subjects. Later, she co-authored a paper "Baseball: An Automated Question Answerer" which described an early attempt at natural language database queries. The paper was translated into Chinese and Russian. After Lincoln Laboratory, Wolf worked at Bolt Beranek and Newman as well as Computer Corporation of America, which was later acquired by Rocket Software.
