Abstract: 

This talk will highlight cognitive AI and how a team of data scientists from Beyond Limits is bringing this advanced technology used in NASA space missions to the most demanding industries on earth. What is Cognitive AI? This session will explain how cognitive AI differs from conventional, numeric AI approaches by incorporating human-like reasoning into the system’s recommendations. Discover how cognitive AI is designed to reduce uncertainty, increase transparency and deliver trusted, explainable results.
