About us

Our group likes to discuss and understand Cognitive Computing (CC), which "addresses complex situations that are characterized by ambiguity and uncertainty. In these dynamic, information-rich, and shifting situations, data tends to change frequently, and it is often conflicting. The goals of users evolve as they learn more and redefine their objectives. To respond to the fluid nature of users’ understanding of their problems, cognitive computing systems offer a synthesis not just of information sources but of influences, contexts, and insights. To do this, systems often need to weigh conflicting evidence and suggest an answer that is “best” rather than “right”. Cognitive systems will coexist with legacy systems into the indefinite future. Many cognitive systems will build upon today’s IT resources. But the ambition and reach of cognitive computing is fundamentally different. Leaving the model of computer-as-appliance behind, it seeks to bring computing into a closer, more fundamental partnership in human endeavors." (Wikipedia edit pages)

If all of this sounds interesting, then this group is for you! A warm welcome!
