Research Topics in Cognitive Computing

The course will provide the theoretical and technical background for implementing information systems which can behave in human like ways. This involves natural language processing, visual recognition, and a deep representation of the meaning of information. We will also consider theories of human cognition to learn from the differences between human and machine systems of information processing.

Students will also explore the concept of symbiotic systems, which will give them the skills to implement intelligent software applications that optimally compliments human users.

The course will also provide the academic background for supervised research on information systems that are based on cognitive, symbiotic models. Examples of research and research methods in the area will also be presented and discussed.

• demonstrate an understanding for central concepts in information systems interoperability.
• describe and discuss human centric notions of semantics
• explain the way Natural Language Processing (NLP) is used in semantic models
• explain what cognitive and symbiotic systems mean in information systems
