Cognitive systems industry driving more knowledge into IT learning

The global cognitive systems market will generate revenues worth 50 billion between 2016 and 2020, aided by development of self-learning IT systems, new research from Technavio reports. The report, Global Cognitive Systems Market 2016-2020, shows that cognitive applications are being increasingly integrated with machine learning, which helps real-time communications between people and IT systems. The applications also help draw independent conclusions as well as data processing capabilities. These are developed to mimic the human thinking process or learning, understanding and evaluating different situations. Predictive analytics are driving the growth, as well as the potential for modelling techniques and the potential data from the Internet of Things (IoT), says Amit Sharma, lead analyst, ICT at Technavio Research.
