How IBM And Microsoft Are Disrupting The Healthcare Industry With Cognitive Computing

Cognitive computing is the ability to simulate human thought process in a computerized model. Thanks to cloud computing and Big Data, cognitive computing has become affordable and accessible to businesses. The availability of abundant compute and storage resources combined with the evolution of analytics is accelerating the adoption of cognitive computing. Cognitive computing systems depend on various aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) such as machine learning, reasoning, natural language processing, speech and vision, human-computer interaction, dialog and narrative generation, and more. The machine learning algorithms learn and acquire knowledge from the massive amount of data fed into to them.
