Following the successful Mathematica and Wolfram technology events in Japan in 2014, Wolfram Research Asia Ltd. organized a Wolfram|Alpha event on April 28, 2015. Two hundred and thirty audience members packed into the lecture hall at Tokyo Institute of Technology (TiTech) to see the talks by Noriko Yasui, a W|A developer, and Dr. Kenji Yoshida, a math teacher at Waseda University High School. WRAL organized the event together with TiTech and the Institute of Molecular Science (IMS). Noriko presented a general introduction to Wolfram|Alpha and showed how Programmable Linguistic Interface functions in the Wolfram Language can be used to create a custom Wolfram|Alpha implementation. Yoshida reported that using Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha stimulated students in his math classes, emphasizing that more students took an interest in mathematics compared to those educated in a more conventional fashion. The day's presentations were followed by plenty of good questions, reflecting strong interest and enthusiasm in the audience. In addition, the event attracted a lot of people new to Wolfram technology, thanks to the announcement made by TiTech and IMS to various academic communities.»
Wolfram Language Artificial Intelligence: The Image Identification Project
“What is this a picture of?” Humans can usually answer such questions instantly, but in the past it’s always seemed out of reach for computers to do this. For nearly 40 years I’ve been sure computers would eventually get there—but I’ve wondered when.»

Wolfram|Alpha Personal Analytics for Facebook: Last Chance to Analyze Your Friend Network
Wolfram|Alpha's Facebook analytics ranks high among our all-time most popular features. By now, millions of people have used Wolfram|Alpha to analyze their own activity and generate detailed analyses of their Facebook friend networks. A few years ago, we took data generously contributed by thousands of "data donors" and used the Wolfram Language's powerful tools for social network analysis, machine learning, and data visualization to uncover fascinating insights into the demographics and interests of Facebook users.»
