Study Notes

Key Attributes of Cognitive Computing

  • Cognitive Computing involves self-learning systems that mimic human intelligence
  • It uses natural language processing, machine learning, and other technologies to analyze data
  • It is dynamic and adaptive, responding to new data and situations

Decision-Making Process

  • The 4 steps to make a decision are:
    • Observe: gathering data and information
    • Orient: analyzing and interpreting data
    • Decide: making a decision based on analysis
    • Act: taking action on the decision

Defining a 'Cognitive' System

  • A system is 'cognitive' if it can learn, reason, and interact with humans naturally

Cognitive Computing vs. AI

  • Cognitive Computing focuses on mimicking human thought processes, while AI focuses on task-oriented automation
  • Cognitive Computing is a subset of AI, but not all AI is Cognitive Computing

Challenges of Cognitive Computing

  • Managing and integrating large amounts of data
  • Ensuring transparency and explainability of decision-making processes
  • Developing systems that can learn and adapt quickly

Core Functions of Cognitive Computing

  • Natural language processing
  • Machine learning
  • Predictive analytics
  • Data mining

Mimicking Human Intelligence

  • Cognitive Computing systems use machine learning algorithms to analyze data and make decisions
  • They can learn from experience and improve over time
  • They can interact with humans naturally using natural language processing

Self-Learning Algorithms

  • Self-learning algorithms are used in Cognitive Computing to analyze data and make decisions
  • They can learn from experience and improve over time

Applications of Cognitive Computing

  • Healthcare: diagnosing diseases, personalized medicine
  • Finance: risk management, fraud detection
  • Customer service: chatbots, virtual assistants

Long-term Goal of Cognitive Computing

  • To create systems that can learn, reason, and interact with humans naturally, much like human intelligence
