Cognitive computing is a research area within artificial intelligence that focuses on creating computer systems that can simulate human thought processes and cognitive functions. These systems are designed to learn, reason, understand natural language, and interact with users in a more human-like way. Cognitive computing aims to improve decision-making, problem-solving, and information processing by leveraging advanced technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and neural networks. This research area is motivated by the goal of creating intelligent systems that can assist humans in complex tasks and enhance their cognitive abilities.
