Artificial intelligence – Understanding IBM Watson (before it understands you…)

MIT Mullingar are delighted to announce that Mr. Eddie Daly of IBM Talent Management Solutions will be giving a presentation entitled “Artificial intelligence – Understanding IBM Watson (before it understands you…..)” on Wednesday 12th April in the Annebrook House Hotel at 7:30pm.

Topic Overview

We are entering into a new era of computing Artificial Intelligence or Cognitive Computing. The cognitive computing era follows the eras of programmable and tabulating systems and represents a huge leap forward. This is a new era because there is a fundamental difference in how these systems are built and how they interact with humans. Traditional programmable systems are fed data, knowledge, and information, and they carry out and return results of processing that is pre-programmed by humans. In the programmable systems era, humans do most of the directing.

The cognitive era on the other hand is about thinking itself – how we gather information, access it and make decisions. Cognitive-based systems learn and build knowledge, understanding natural language, and reason and interact more naturally with human beings than traditional programmable systems. While The term “reasoning” refers to how cognitive systems “reasoning” is a slippery term, we mostly mean that such systems demonstrate insights that are very human-like.

In this talk we’ll explore the progression of Cognitive Computing, understanding how IBM’s Watson works, and the principles behind Cognitive Computing, taking a look at two of the areas that Watson is being applied in – Health and the Internet of Things.
