What Is Cognitive Technology?

In the ever-evolving world of technology, cognitive technology is a relatively new field of study. The definitions of cognitive technology vary, but they all center on mimicking the functions of the human mind. Cognitive technology is typically considered to be a subset of artificial intelligence. The various means of cognitive technology mimic the functions of the human brain through natural language processing, data mining, and pattern recognition. Recently, researchers have begun to use natural language processing to understand the meaning of large sets of documents from an analysis perspective.
