A cognitive system capitalizes on data from internal and external sources for continuous learning and better forecasting for real-time analytics in a fraction of the time it would take a human. To take full advantage of these capabilities requires a high degree of resilience; data must be accurate, available, accessible and auditable. New cognitive applications are increasing expectations and raising resiliency requirements for the overall enterprise as well as its IT and data environment. At the same time, cognitive capabilities can help an organization maintain an always- on environment and meet business continuity and disaster recovery goals in a predictive and proactive way. 2 | RESILIENCY IN THE COGNITIVE ERA KEY POINTS Cognitive computing has arrived. It is enabling a new class of products and services that sense, reason and learn about their users and the world around them. This is already happening in industries including automotive, medical, hospitality, government, media, games, manufacturing, travel, engineering, law, pharmaceutical and science. As cognitive computing becomes part of our everyday world, it has the potential to radically redefine everyday life, changing how companies deliver products and services, engage and interact with customers, learn and make decisions. In the cognitive era the continuous availability of data, systems, applications and business processes is essential. It will increasingly be taken for granted that the service is “always on.” Applying advanced analytics and automation to predict potential issues and enable systems to be corrected proactively will enable businesses to seize new opportunities and defend against disruption. IBM is investing in new capabilities to help clients move from reactive business continuity and disaster recovery planning to a cognitive, predictive and pro- active resiliency program. The goal: to avoid the impact of a disaster before it occurs. COPYRIGHT © 2016 FORBES INSIGHTS | 3 INTRODUCTION Five years ago, the world was introduced to Watson, IBM’s cognitive computing system, which defeated two human champions in an exhibition match of the American game show Jeopardy. Watson has learned a lot since then, tackling ever more complex data sets to develop understanding, reasoning and learning capabilities that go far beyond answering trivia questions. Watson is helping oil and gas companies combine Kelly III, senior vice president, IBM Research and So- seismic imaging data with analyses of papers and lutions Portfolio.

Watson was originally designed as a system to answer questions posed in natural language—a system capable of breaking down language into phrases, looking for statisti- cally related information and reasoning through possible answers. Over the past few years, Watson has developed into something much greater. Watson is now a cloud-based platform. The platform is available to developers who are finding ways to pull the cognitive power of Watson into their own organizations in new ways. There are over 80,000 programmers in more than 500 partner companies working with Watson. They have launched hundreds of cognitive applications in healthcare, retail, education, travel and other fields. Watson’s universe continues to expand. The platform now includes real- time data on weather as well as Twitter feeds and sensor data from a growing range of connected devices—all of which can be used to build business-relevant applications. Watson has also developed sight, beginning with the analysis of medical images. Watson started as an IBM initiative, but it is now a partner in medical research and practice, professional sports, insurance and many other industries. In the near future, Watson could be powering applications in any organization that would benefit from cognitive computing.

Proactive Resilience Business resiliency is the ability of an organization to anticipate, respond and adapt to sudden disruption as well as opportunity. As tolerance for downtime continues to decrease, the focus of resiliency is to ensure that businesses are able to continue operations, no matter what happens. With the ever-increasing reliance on technology, the impact of a failure of technology could be catastrophic and even life-threatening in some industries. The integration of analytical and cognitive capabilities can improve the way companies enable resilience—moving

  • Cognitive Computing Systems: Potential and Future
    Cognitive Computing Systems: Potential and Future Venkat N Gudivada, Sharath Pankanti, Guna Seetharaman, and Yu Zhang March 2019 1 Characteristics of Cognitive Computing Systems Autonomous systems are self-contained and self-regulated entities which continually evolve them- selves in real-time in response to changes in their environment. Fundamental to this evolution is learning and development. Cognition is the basis for autonomous systems. Human cognition refers to those processes and systems that enable humans to perform both mundane and specialized tasks. Machine cognition refers to similar processes and systems that enable computers perform tasks at a level that rivals human performance. While human cognition employs biological and nat- ural means – brain and mind – for its realization, machine cognition views cognition as a type of computation. Cognitive Computing Systems are autonomous systems and are based on machine cognition. A cognitive system views the mind as a highly parallel information processor, uses vari- ous models for representing information, and employs algorithms for transforming and reasoning with the information. In contrast with conventional software systems, cognitive computing systems effectively deal with ambiguity, and conflicting and missing data. They fuse several sources of multi-modal data and incorporate context into computation. In making a decision or answering a query, they quantify uncertainty, generate multiple hypotheses and supporting evidence, and score hypotheses based on evidence. In other words, cognitive computing systems provide multiple ranked decisions and answers. These systems can elucidate reasoning underlying their decisions/answers. They are stateful, and understand various nuances of communication with humans. They are self-aware, and continuously learn, adapt, and evolve.

It is associated with malnutrition, weak immune system of people and their housing locality. At present, it is diagnosed by microscopic identification, molecular and biochemical characterisation or serum analysis for parasitic compounds. In this study, we present a new approach for diagnosing Leishmaniasis using cognitive computing. The Genetic datasets of leishmaniasis are collected from Gene Expression Omnibus database and it’s then processed. The algorithm for training and developing a model, based on the data is prepared and coded using python. The algorithm and their corresponding datasets are integrated using TensorFlow dataframe. A feed forward Artificial Neural Network trained model with multi-layer perceptron is developed as a diagnosing model for Leishmaniasis, using genetic dataset.

Abstract: Today, increasing numbers of people are interacting online and a lot of textual comments are being produced due to the explosion of online communication. However, a paramount inconve- nience within online environments is that comments that are shared within digital platforms can hide hazards, such as fake news, insults, harassment, and, more in general, comments that may hurt some- one’s feelings. In this scenario, the detection of this kind of toxicity has an important role to moderate online communication.
