According to a new press release, “After three decades of continuous R&D and the introduction of Mathematica Version 1.0, Wolfram Research has released its most powerful software offering with Version 12 of the Wolfram Language, the symbolic backbone of Mathematica. The latest version includes over a thousand new functions and features for multiparadigm data science, automated machine learning and blockchain manipulation for modern software development and technical computing. As Stephen Wolfram, founder and CEO of Wolfram Research notes, ‘Even the basic summary of the changes in the documentation center is 19 pages long.’ These thousands of new features and functions point to Wolfram Research’s continued quest for intellectual achievement in defining the future of what’s possible through computation.”

The release goes on, “For example: (1) Simulated environments for machine learning—combining the power of system modeling with the symbolic manipulation capabilities of the Wolfram Language for reinforcement learning applications. (2) Blockchain and computational contracts—read, write and analyze blockchain transactions; generate and execute smart contracts with computational intelligence. (3) Expanded image processing and AI—enhanced object identification, analysis of facial features and entity recognition. (4) Connectivity with external languages, programs and environments—call one of the thousands of functions built into the Wolfram Language from Python, connect to relational and graph databases with automatic entity recognition, link to the Unity game engine. (5) Audio processing with neural networks—expanded computation with audio for speech recognition, speech-to-text and speech synthesis. (6) Expanded machine learning superfunctions—enhanced anomaly detection, analysis of probabilistic distributions with any kind of data, not just numerical.”
