Automated data analysis

Abstract: A compatibility of a computational analysis and a data set is automatically determined by comparing data set attribute data with attribute data of the computational analysis. Other computational analyses may also be evaluated for compatibility with the data set. Compatible analyses may be performed on the data set, and selected views of the results may be presented. Selection of the analyses to be performed, the views, and/or the contents and format of the views may be determined based result data attributes and computational analysis attribute data as well as other considerations, such as resources required and multiplicity. As computational analysis attributes are based on a set of rules or statements determined from heuristics of respective computational analyses, evaluation of the compatibility between various analyses and the data set is accordingly determined based on the heuristic-based rules or statements. Computational analyses may include visualizations and heavyweight computational analyses.

Computer algebra: a 32-year update

Abstract: I last spoke at a computer algebra conference in August 1981. Since that time I created Mathematica (launched 1988) andWolfram|Alpha (launched 2009). This talk will survey perspectives on computer algebra gained through these activities, as well as through my work in basic science. I will also describe what I see as being key future directions and aspirations for computer algebra.

Visual Display Techniques for Mitigating Latency

Abstract: A visual display that changes with time and/or an audio signal is rendered while a task is being completed by a computing device (e.g., performing a computation, retrieving information, powering up a device, starting a computer application, etc.). The visual display and/or audio signal are configured to engage the user in order to mitigate latency of the task. Because the user is being engaged by the visual display and/or audio signal, the user may be less likely to notice and/or be bothered by the latency.
