Cognitive computing is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that aims to simulate human thought processes in a computerized model. It involves the development of systems that can understand, reason, learn, and interact with humans in natural language. Cognitive computing systems often leverage various AI techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and knowledge representation to mimic human-like cognitive functions.
The characteristic of cognitive computing is:
- Natural Language Understanding
- Reasoning and decision Making
- Learning and Adaptation
- Interaction and engagement.
- Contextual Awareness.
Cognitive computing finds applications across various domains, including healthcare, finance, customer service, education, and more.
