Artificial Intelligence
Cognitive Computing Transformation
A technical and architectural overview
Most of us in the IT industry have most likely heard, read about, or already started working with cognitive systems for various practical use cases. Would you like to have a quick taste? Then, keep reading! I simplified this complex topic as much as possible in this article.
The purpose of this article is to briefly introduce to you what cognitive computing entails, its current progress in the industry, the value proposition for its necessity, and my personal observations and thoughts on trends and future plans.
Cognitive computing comprises a combination of emerging technologies, processes, and approaches in cross-disciplines: cognitive and computer science. It is being built on long-term research and development work in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Cognitive computing, as a strong extension of AI, is the simulation of our thought processes in computerized models.
From a scientific discipline perspective, in a nutshell, cognitive computing emerged by combining related attributes of cognitive science dealing with natural intelligence and computer science dealing with artificial intelligence.
