 What is cognitive computing?

• The basic idea of cognitive computing is that to

develop the computer systems who interacts with
human like humans.
• These computer can recognize, understand, analyze
and take out the best possible result as or near about
the human brain.
Cognitive Computing is combination
of principles of Neuroscience,
Nanotechnology and
Supercomputing

 Neuroscience

• Neuroscience deals with the study mind, study of the

neural systems.
• The devices based on this architecture consist of the
electronic neurons and synapse and are called
Neurosynaptic chips.
• There inner network is like brain network.
 Nanotechnology

• As we know nanotechnology is science in which material

size of 10 to the power -9 meter.
• We need to embed large number of processors to build
the system like the human brain.
• So to embed the large number of processor over the chips
is done with the help of nanotechnology.
 Super Computing
• Supercomputing efficiently solves extremely complex
or data intensive problems by concentrating the
processing power of multiple, parallel computers.
• Cognitive Computing develops the brain like computers
and as our brain have high performance capacity.
• So to achieve such high performance supercomputing
algorithm and hardware needs in cognitive computing.
• Computing effiency measured in FLOTS.
• Super computers high level performance compared to
general purpose computer
 In order to achieve this new
level of computing, cognitive
systems must be

• Adaptive
• Interactive
• Iterative and stateful
• Contextual
 IBM Watson

• IBM Watson is cognitive computing machine

made by the IBM.
• It is a question answer based machine.
• Uses natural language processing to understand
grammar and context.
• Watson supercomputer process at rate of
80teraflops
• Evaluates all possible meanings and determines what is
being asked.
• And than answer based on supporting evidence and quality
of information found.
• Watson was named after the IBM’s founder and first CEO
Thomas J.Watson
 Advantages
• Data Analysis
• Highly efficient in collecting data and cross referencing information
to analyse a cituation efffectively.
• It employs robotics process automation to speed up data analysis
• Highly efficient
• By examining large amount of data cognitive computing systems
reducing risks and cop up with cituation according to changing
circumstances

• Cognitive computing can analyzse critical

process issues in real time
• Interactive
• The technology can be used to enhance customer interactionns with
the help of robotic process automation
 Disadvantages

• Unemployment
Only highly efficient humans will be able to work.
• Limited analysis of risk
The cognitive systems fail at analyzing the risk which
is missing in the unstructured data. This includes socio-
economic factors, culture, political environments, and
people.
 Applications

Health Care
• The ability to classify and identify symptoms is one
of the main goals of these cognitive devices.
• This trait can be very helpful in the study of
carcinogens.
• used for prescription writings.
• Evaluate information about patient , looking at the
medical record at the depth can be easily done by
cognitive systems.
 Education

• Cognitive Computing being used in the classroom

is applied as an assistant that is personalized for
each individual student.
• This cognitive assistant can relieve the stress that
teachers while teaching students.
 Example for Cognitive
Computing:

Vantage Software
• It is used in finance industry.
• Providing accurate, investment recommendations to
financial managers.

WayBlazer
• It is used travel industry.
• Simplifying the trip-planning process
Welltok
• It is used Healthcare.
• Giving consumers access to reliable, up-to-date health
information.
• Welltok offers as a way to help their subscribers and
patients improve their overall health.
 Conclusion

• Cognitive Computing is very important for the future with

the lots of data.
• These type of machines give data smartly in less time.
• Provides enterprise intelligent systems.
• Helps to build a smarter planet.
