Introduction
 Definition:

«Cognitive technologies are products

of the field of artificial intelligence.

They are able to perform tasks

that only humans used to be able to»
 Algorithmic Computing
• Execution of a pre­defined set
of instructions
• Inputs & outputs (data/information)
• Decision points
http://online.stanford.edu

• Optimization schemes

Cognitive Computing
• Context­aware

• Dealing with uncertainty

• Process unstructured data (e.g.
language)
• Learning (Domain expertise)
& adaptive behaviour
• Goal­directed
