Cognitive systems use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and reasoning to enable natural interactions between people and machines. They extend and magnify human expertise and cognition to enable timely and accurate decision making. The document discusses how human cognition can be modeled as a computational process that performs operations on symbolic representations, and how cognitive systems may be able to bring real solutions to complex problems by taking a more holistic view of issues.
