Three capabilities differentiate cognitive systems from
traditional programmed computing systems…
Reasoning
They reason. They understand
underlying ideas and concepts. They
form hypothesis. They infer and
extract concepts.
Learning
They never stop learning getting
more valuable with time.
Advancing with each new piece of
information, interaction, and
outcome. They develop “expertise”. Understanding
Cognitive systems understand
like humans do.
…. allowing them to interact with humans.
