Machine Learning and Cognitive Systems: The Next Evolution of Enterprise Intelligence (Part I)

An automatic system is being developed to disseminate information to the various sections of any industrial, scientific or government organization. This intelligence system will utilize data-processing machines for auto-abstracting and auto-encoding of documents and for creating interest profiles for each of the "action points" in an organization. Both incoming and internally generated documents are automatically abstracted, characterized by a word pattern, and sent automatically to appropriate action points. This paper shows the flexibility of such a system in identifying known information, in finding who needs to know it and in disseminating it efficiently either in abstract form or as a complete document. The premise of BI systems has remained pretty much the same: to collect an organization's data from disparate sources and process it in the best possible way to produce useful information to -- and perhaps this is the most important part -- help decision makers to make the best informed decision for the benefit of an organization.
