Abstract

A computer-implementable method for cognitive information processing comprising: receiving data from a plurality of data sources, at least one of the plurality of data sources comprising a blockchain data source having associated blockchain data; processing the data from the plurality of data sources to provide cognitively processed data; performing a learning operation to improve the cognitively processed data over time, the learning operation being based at least in part on the blockchain data from the blockchain data source; and, providing the cognitively processed data to a destination.

Claims

1. A method for cognitive information processing comprising:

receiving data from a plurality of data sources, at least one of the plurality of data sources comprising a blockchain data source having associated blockchain data;

processing the data from the plurality of data sources to provide cognitively processed data;

performing a learning operation to improve the cognitively processed data over time, the learning operation being based at least in part on the blockchain data from the blockchain data source; and

,

providing the cognitively processed data to a destination.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

performing a single step assurance operation based upon the cognitively processed data.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating a cognitive insight based upon the cognitively processed data.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

using the blockchain data to assure the cognitive insight.

5. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

using the blockchain data to provide visibility into transactions used for generation of the cognitive insight.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the plurality of data sources further comprise at least one of a social data source, a public data source, a private data source and a device data source.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

performing cognitive analysis operations on the blockchain data.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating cognitive blockchain data based upon the cognitively processed data.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

initiating a blockchain transaction based upon the cognitive blockchain data.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

performing learning operations to train a cognitive inference and learning system (CILS) using the blockchain data.
