Cognitive computing

Cognitive computing refers to technology platforms that, broadly speaking, are based on the scientific disciplines of artificial intelligence and signal processing.

Cognitive computing applications link data analysis and adaptive page displays (AUI) to adjust content for a particular type of audience.

For example, a neural network trained to recognize cancer on an MRI scan may achieve a higher success rate than a human doctor.

[13] Cognitive computing in conjunction with big data and algorithms that comprehend customer needs, can be a major advantage in economic decision making.

It would also increase the inequality of wealth; the people at the head of the cognitive computing industry would grow significantly richer, while workers without ongoing, reliable employment would become less well off.

Basic scheme of a cognitive system. With sensors, such as keyboards , touchscreens , cameras , microphones or temperature sensors , signals from the real world environment can be detected. For perception , these signals are recognised by the cognition of the cognitive system and converted into digital information. This information can be documented and is processed. The result of deliberation can also be documented and is used to control and execute an action in the real world environment with the help of actuators , such as engines , loudspeakers , displays or air conditioners for example.
