Abstract

Cognitive computing is an interdisciplinary subject that brings under its umbrella several techniques such as Machine learning, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, analytics, natural language processing, and probability and statistics to gather information and understand it using different senses and learning from their experience. Cognitive computing helps humans in taking the right decisions at a right time helping the people to grow in their respective fields. In this chapter, we are going to discuss cognitive computing and the elements involved in it. Further, we will learn about the components and hypothesis generation and scoring of it.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence, cognition, cognitive computing, corpus, intuitive thinking, hypothesis generation, machine learning
