Multiparadigm Data Science
Multiparadigm Data Science is a new approach of using AI and modern analytical techniques, automation and human-data interfaces to arrive at better answers with flexibility and scale.
Many organizations are still doing traditional data science—confining themselves to problems that are answerable with traditional statistical methods—rather than utilizing the broad range of interfaces and techniques available today. Whether it's automated machine learning, interactive notebooks and report generation, natural language queries of data for instant visualizations or implementing neural networks with ease and efficiency, modern problem solving requires access to the right technology at every stage.
With a flexible, integrated multiparadigm workflow, problems too complex for traditional methods can get real, quantifiable answers.
Examples of Multiparadigm Data Science
Interfacing with Your Data
Having the right interface to get answers from data is crucial; different interfaces are suited to different tasks. A multiparadigm system combines a broad range of intuitive options for interacting with data every step of the way.
Interactive NotebooksStreamline your daily workflow using high-level notebook documents that combine text, images, code and interactive examples—editable and runnable on any platform for fast, easy collaboration. |
Natural LanguageQuery your data instantly with natural language and get conversational answers for an intuitive, low-effort process that leads to more insights and better decisions. |
|
Triggered ReportingAutomatically receive alerts and updated reports based on custom criteria, tracking trends in real time for critically timed decisions. |
Presentations with Live ModelingRun your meetings interactively, adjusting parameters to compute instant what-if scenarios for deeper discussions and stronger results. |
|
Programmatic AccessStore your models as platform-independent packages and APIs, providing a centralized framework for computation and automation to power human-data interfaces across your enterprise |
Classic Interfaces with Modern IntegrationSeamlessly connect existing spreadsheets, databases and applications into higher-level computation, stepping up speed and accuracy with additional back end power. |

Thirty years of building the ultimate computation environment make the Wolfram technology stack ideal for Multiparadigm Data Science (MPDS)—a multitude of interfaces, language types, computational approaches and ready-to-use data all woven into one ecosystem.
A multiparadigm approach requires a broad, flexible computational toolkit that incorporates all aspects of a project into one start-to-finish workflow. The Wolfram technology stack does exactly this, enabling you to take data from hundreds of formats, carry out a full spectrum of analysis and visualization and immediately share or publish your results—all using the world's largest collection of algorithms and computable knowledge.
