Cognitive solutions

Data can exist in a variety of forms:

- numbers or text on pieces of paper- bits and bytes stored in electronic memory - facts stored in a person's mind

Data - distinct pieces of information, usually

formatted in a special way. In computing, data

is information that has been translated into a

form that is more convenient to move or

process.

Unstructured data

White papers, articles, research studies, blogs,

tweets, the body text of email.

Structured data

Spreadsheets, databases, phonebooks, specification

sets.

80% of the information or data generated in our world is a dark data. We may reference it to be "unstructured data".

Cognition - the mental action of acquiring knowledge and

understanding through thought, experience, and the senses.

It is a system which can:

Programmable computing: responds to requests and makes determinations, analyzing

data according to predefined parameters.

Cognitive systems: interact with humans naturally to interpret data, learning from

virtually every interaction and proposing new possibilities through probabilistic reasoning.
