Abstract

A computer-implementable method for providing cognitive insights comprising: receiving streams of data from a plurality of data sources; processing the streams of data from the plurality of data sources, the processing the streams of data from the plurality of data sources performing data enriching and generating a sub-graph for incorporation into a cognitive graph; and, processing the cognitive graph, the processing the cognitive graph providing cognitive insights.

Claims

1. A computer-implementable method for providing cognitive insights comprising:

receiving streams of data from a plurality of data sources;

processing the streams of data from the plurality of data sources, the processing the streams of data from the plurality of data sources performing data enriching and generating a sub-graph for incorporation into a cognitive graph; and

,

processing the cognitive graph, the processing the cognitive graph providing cognitive insights.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating the cognitive graph using the streams of data from the plurality of sources, the cognitive graph comprising a computer readable formalism of knowledge that provides a common framework allowing data to be shared across boundaries.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the processing the cognitive graph to provide cognitive insights further comprises:

performing a perceive operation, the perceive operation performing at least one of an extract operation, a parse operation, a tag operation, an enrich multi-structured data operation, an automate feature extraction operation, an apply spatial encoding operation and a temporal encoding operation; and

,

performing a relate operation, the relate operation performing at least one of a comprehend operation, an identify and infer relevant insights operation, a question list generation operation, the relate operation providing observation feedback to the perceive operation.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the processing the cognitive graph to provide cognitive insights further comprises:

performing an operate operation, the operate operation applying cognitive processes to generate evidence based hypothesis and insights, the operate operation providing decisions feedback to the perceive operation; and

,

performing a process and execute operation, the process and execute operation providing insights or automatically taking action, the process and execute operation providing result feedback to the perceive operation.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

automatically and continuously refining understanding to improve future interactions based upon the observation feedback, decisions feedback, and result feedback.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the processing the streams of data from the plurality of data sources and processing the cognitive graph interact with a cloud infrastructure when performing the processing the streams of data and the processing the cognitive graph.
