Cognitive Computing
- Adapting to the unknown
- Interacting with "other" humans
- Understanding the context
- Reasoning the "best answer"
Adapting to the unknown
- Handle human kinds of problems
- Resolve ambiguity
- Tolerate unpredictability
Interacting with "other" humans
- Understanding Language and Speech
- Formulation of proper sentences
- Conversing naturally
Understanding the context
- Identify and extract context features
- Vision and recognising context in images
- Creating a corpus of understanding
Reasoning the "best answer"
- Not the "right answer"
- Using context understanding to reason
- Inferring based on objectives
Have we gotten there yet?
No...
But we are getting there...
