Cognitive Computing with IBM Watson

Cognitive computing is rapidly becoming a part of every aspect of our lives through data science, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI). It allows computing systems to learn and keep on improving as the amount of data in the system increases.

This book introduces you to a whole new paradigm of computing – a paradigm that is totally different from the conventional computing of the Information Age. You will learn the concepts of ML, deep learning (DL), neural networks, and AI with the help of IBM Watson APIs. This book will help you build your own applications to understand, and solve problems, and analyze them as per your needs. You will explore various domains of cognitive computing, such as NLP, voice processing, computer vision, emotion analytics, and conversational systems.

Equipped with the knowledge of machine learning concepts, how computers do their magic, and the applications of these concepts, you’ll be able to research and apply cognitive computing in your projects.

meta description
Understand, design, and create cognitive applications using Watson’s suite of APIs
short description
Cognitive computing is applicable to almost every industry, where humans engage in dialogue, ask questions, test ideas and make decisions. It enables us to use computers to recognize different types of human expression – literary, vocal, visual, and empathetic – which facilitates a deeper and scalable understanding of the problems that matter to us.
