Todays world is data rich but insights poor

Data Explosion is Driving the Need for Cognitive Computing4
Watson Finds Knowledge in Noisy Data at Enormous ScaleListens to signals for a domain.Obtains patterns (meaning) from the signals:detects and scores the strength of the signal features;learns which features are meaningful.Determines confidence by analyzing supporting evidence.Uses trained machine learning:previously trained against data that represents domain ground truth.Elevates and amplifies human cognition:Engagement, exploration, discovery, enforcement, decision support,

Watson: A Cognitive System

REASONThey can reason, grasp underlying concepts, form hypotheses, and infer and extract ideas. UNDERSTAND
Cognitive systems understand imagery, language and other unstructured data like humans do.LEARN
With each data point, interaction and outcome, they develop and sharpen expertise, so they never stop learning.INTERACTWith abilities to see, talk and hear, cognitive systems interact with humans in a natural way.
Watson transcribes audio from videos, analyzes the results, extracts various concepts, and recommends related videos7
Watson analyzes images to understand their content without any accompanying descriptive text

With more functions and APIs are being added every year. 13
How do we deliver on these cognitive capabilities?API availableAvailable as Bluemix servicesCan be used as simple end point APIs orCan be trained to be FCA specific andCan work with your other cloud services in an aggregated cloudYou asked for an understanding of what is real and available today.
