Free One Year Old, 13 Page IBM Ebook about Cognitive Computing

February 3, 2017

I like short books. But 13 pages? If you are thirsty for knowledge about IBM’s cognitive computing push, you will want to navigate to this link and download The Promise of Cognitive Computing, originally published in February 2016. Timely. My undergraduate honors essay was about five times longer than this IBM ebook.

What’s in the scholarly gem? Here’s a sampling of the topics:

  • Technology transforms
  • The opportunity is providing insights
  • The solution: Businesses built on cognitive computing
  • The opportunity for start ups
  • Six real life examples of cognitive computing products
  • Six steps for developing a cognitive computing product

There are two sidebars filled with useful information; for example, a definition of unstructured information and four reasons to build a cognitive computing business using Watson. There is also a link to a 30 day free trial of Watson.

Interesting. What’s happened in a year of cognitive computing? Not enough to warrant a second edition. Apparently the 19 consecutive quarters of declining revenue has blunted some of the marketing enthusiasm for ebooks.
