"What is this?" Upload any image and Wolfram will find you an answer. Try for yourself

New Delhi: Wolfram has come up with a new service that identifies images you throw at it. The company has built the "ImageIdentify" function built into the Wolfram Language that lets you ask, "What is this a picture of?" and gives you an answer.

The Wolfram Language Image Identification Project on the web lets users upload a picture (drag it from a web page, snap it on your phone, or load it from a file) and tells you what it is. Though it doesn't give you a precise answer, it still can trigger your curious finger to test one picture after the other.

For instance, we uploaded an image of a human face, and it answered "person". On uploading a phone image, it said, "device".

"It won't always get it right, but most of the time I think it does remarkably well. And to me what's particularly fascinating is that when it does get something wrong, the mistakes it makes mostly seem remarkably human," says Wolfram.
