Cognitive Computing

Cognitive computing aims to create machines that mimic human-like cognitive abilities, focusing on real-time responses and efficient resource utilization. Current research emphasizes the development of novel architectures, including spiking neural networks and agent-based models, often incorporating natural language processing and leveraging diverse data sources (structured and unstructured) for analysis and decision-making. This field is significant for its potential to optimize various sectors, such as healthcare (e.g., autism therapy) and IT service management, through improved data analysis and automation, ultimately leading to increased efficiency and enhanced user experience.
