Cognitive Computing with IBM Watson by Rob High,Tanmay Bakshi Pdf

Understand, design, and create cognitive applications using Watson’s suite of APIs. Key FeaturesDevelop your skills and work with IBM Watson APIs to build efficient and powerful cognitive appsLearn how to build smart apps to carry out different sets of activities using real-world use casesGet well versed with the best practices of IBM Watson and implement them in your daily workBook Description Cognitive computing is rapidly infusing every aspect of our lives riding on three important fields: 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 grows. This book introduces readers 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 through the set of APIs provided by IBM Watson. This book will help you build your own applications to understand, plan, and solve problems, and analyze them as per your needs. You will learn about various domains of cognitive computing, such as NLP, voice processing, computer vision, emotion analytics, and conversational systems, using different IBM Watson APIs. From this, the reader will learn what ML is, and what goes on in the background to make computers "do their magic," as well as where these concepts have been applied. Having achieved this, the readers will then be able to embark on their journey of learning, researching, and applying the concept in their respective fields. What you will learnGet well versed with the APIs provided by IBM Watson on IBM CloudLearn ML, AI, cognitive computing, and neural network principlesImplement smart applications in fields such as healthcare, entertainment, security, and moreUnderstand unstructured content using cognitive metadata with the help of Natural Language UnderstandingUse Watson’s APIs to create real-life applications to realize their capabilitiesDelve into various domains of cognitive computing, such as media analytics, embedded deep learning, computer vision, and moreWho this book is for This book is for beginners and novices; having some knowledge about artificial intelligence and deep learning is an advantage, but not a prerequisite to benefit from this book.

Smart Machines by John Kelly III,Steve Hamm Pdf

We are crossing a new frontier in the evolution of computing and entering the era of cognitive systems. The victory of IBMÕs Watson on the television quiz show Jeopardy! revealed how scientists and engineers at IBM and elsewhere are pushing the boundaries of science and technology to create machines that sense, learn, reason, and interact with people in new ways to provide insight and advice. In Smart Machines, John E. Kelly III, director of IBM Research, and Steve Hamm, a writer at IBM and a former business and technology journalist, introduce the fascinating world of Òcognitive systemsÓ to general audiences and provide a window into the future of computing. Cognitive systems promise to penetrate complexity and assist people and organizations in better decision making. They can help doctors evaluate and treat patients, augment the ways we see, anticipate major weather events, and contribute to smarter urban planning. Kelly and HammÕs comprehensive perspective describes this technology inside and out and explains how it will help us conquer the harnessing and understanding of Òbig data,Ó one of the major computing challenges facing businesses and governments in the coming decades. Absorbing and impassioned, their book will inspire governments, academics, and the global tech industry to work together to power this exciting wave in innovation.

Applications of Cognitive Computing Systems and IBM Watson by Danish Contractor,Aaditya Telang Pdf

This book presents reports and methods that demonstrate the ease with which cognitive applications can be built using IBM Watson application program interfaces (APIs). It includes application reports from two IBM Watson API-based competitions – Hackathon (24 hours) and a Challenge task (~3 months). It also features a selection of papers presented at I-CARE 2016, the IBM Collaborative Academia Research Exchange event, from the areas of “Theory and Cognitive Computing”, “Data Platforms and Systems,” and “Societal Applications.” IBM has a long tradition of research collaboration with colleagues in academia, and I-CARE is an annual event initiated in 2009 to promote collaborative innovation and learning, and explore new ways of fostering a culture of innovation. I-CARE’s main goal is to “amalgamate” the thought leadership in Indian academia with that in industry, and foster a symbiotic environment for establishing a rich research culture in India. The 8th edition of I-CARE presents a collection of thought-provoking ideas and novel Indian research projects related to three crucial areas: cognitive computing, systems and platforms that support large-scale data processing and practical systems that are designed for the public good.
