APP — a computer program used to perform a specific function (e.g., SOFTWARE — the set of programs and other information that enables a computer or app to function. USER INTERFACE — the place where an end user interacts with a computer (e.g., ACCESSIBLE — can be obtained easily and used by everyone. a webpage or app display).

We are using a statistics and computing software. A collaborative approach helps with the sharing of skills and data among many researchers and allows for outcomes that are not possible to achieve by people working individually at separate sites. My proudest career achievement is publishing my first scientific paper back in 2012.

Engineering combines maths and science to solve real-world problems, so studying maths, physics, chemistry and computing at school will all be useful when applying for an engineering degree at university. Study social science subjects at school to learn about the human side of engineering challenges.

This is commonly achieved by participant observation, in which anthropologists spend time with the community they are studying and take part in everyday activities. If you think working with computers is interesting but coding is overwhelming or not engaging, then a career in data management could be for you.

And all I’ll be able to do here is give a snapshot of my current thinking—which will inevitably be incomplete—not least because, as I’ll discuss, trying to predict how history in an area like this will unfold is something that runs straight into an issue of basic science: the phenomenon of computational irreducibility.

But that certainly doesn’t mean AI can’t importantly help the progress of science. At a very practical level, for example, LLMs provide a new kind of linguistic interface to the computational capabilities that we’ve spent so long building in the Wolfram Language. The system is doing a computation to determine its behavior.

“For the line drawings, we traced the contours with custom-made computer vision algorithms,” says Dirk. “We We wanted to see whether there were enough consistent features in each category for the computer to be able to accurately categorise any one image.” If the computer had only guessed randomly, it would have had an accuracy of 17%.

But in a quirk of history that I now realize had tremendous significance, I had just spent a couple of years creating a big computer system that was ultimately a direct forerunner of our modern Wolfram Language. So for me it was obvious: if I couldn’t figure out things myself with math, I should use a computer. Computation theory.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.
