Book DescriptionCognitive computing is rapidly becoming a part of every aspect of our lives through data science, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI). It allows computing systems to learn and keep on improving as the amount of data in the system increases. This book introduces you to a whole new paradigm of computing – a paradigm that is totally different from the conventional computing of the Information Age. You will learn the concepts of ML, deep learning (DL), neural networks, and AI with the help of IBM Watson APIs. This book will help you build your own applications to understand, and solve problems, and analyze them as per your needs. You will explore various domains of cognitive computing, such as NLP, voice processing, computer vision, emotion analytics, and conversational systems. Equipped with the knowledge of machine learning concepts, how computers do their magic, and the applications of these concepts, you’ll be able to research and apply cognitive computing in your projects. What you will learn

• Get well-versed with the APIs provided by IBM Watson on IBM Cloud
• Understand ML, AI, cognitive computing, and neural network principles
• Implement smart applications in fields such as healthcare, entertainment, security, and more
• Explore unstructured data using cognitive metadata with the help of Natural Language Understanding
• Discover the capabilities of IBM Watson's APIs by using them to create real-life applications
