Data Explosion is Driving the Need for Cognitive Computing4
Watson Finds Knowledge in Noisy Data at Enormous ScaleListens to
signals for a domain.Obtains patterns (meaning) from the
signals:detects and scores the strength of the signal
features;learns which features are meaningful.Determines confidence
by analyzing supporting evidence.Uses trained machine
learning:previously trained against data that represents domain
ground truth.Elevates and amplifies human cognition:Engagement,
exploration, discovery, enforcement, decision support,

REASONThey can reason, grasp underlying concepts, form
hypotheses, and infer and extract ideas. UNDERSTAND
Cognitive systems understand imagery, language and other
unstructured data like humans do.LEARN
With each data point, interaction and outcome, they develop and
sharpen expertise, so they never stop learning.INTERACTWith
abilities to see, talk and hear, cognitive systems interact with
humans in a natural way.
Watson transcribes audio from videos, analyzes the results,
extracts various concepts, and recommends related videos7
Watson analyzes images to understand their content without any
accompanying descriptive text

then, Watson has grown to a family of APIs. With more functions and
APIs are being added every year. 13
How do we deliver on these cognitive capabilities?API
availableAvailable as Bluemix servicesCan be used as simple end
point APIs orCan be trained to be FCA specific andCan work with
your other cloud services in an aggregated cloudYou asked for an
