Cognitive computing is a subfield of artificial intelligence that utilizes technology platforms to simulate human thought processes. These platforms incorporate machine learning, natural language processing, reasoning, speech and vision recognition, and human-computer interaction to create intelligent systems capable of adapting and making decisions akin to humans.
Key components of cognitive computing systems include machine learning algorithms, natural language processing capabilities, reasoning mechanisms, speech and vision recognition technologies, and human-computer interaction interfaces.
These components work together to enable the system to comprehend diverse data types, learn from patterns, and make informed decisions based on the information available.
Cognitive computing differs from traditional artificial intelligence in its ability to comprehend various data types through machine learning, natural language processing, and pattern recognition. While traditional AI systems may be limited in their understanding of unstructured data, cognitive computing systems can analyze and interpret diverse data sources to make more human-like decisions.
