Definition
Cognitive computing is a branch of artificial intelligence that seeks to interact with humans naturally while also simulating human brain processes. These systems use machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing to perceive, reason, and learn. Unlike traditional transactional systems, cognitive systems handle ambiguity, adapt to changing contexts, and provide insights based on vast amounts of unstructured data, aiming to augment human decision-making rather than replace it.
Summary
Cognitive computing refers to systems that simulate human thought processes in a computerized model, using AI to mimic human brain functions.
