KM World: Cognitive Computing and the Future of Knowledge Management
Many technologies that fall under the AI umbrella are changing the way organizations search for and discover important information. The knowledge management space is on the verge of a new era in computing and information management.
Cognitive systems, natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning, applied to both structured and unstructured data, impact how that information can be analyzed to create knowledge.
KMWorld recently held a webinar featuring Brian Flynn, director of solution architecture, Attivio, and David Seuss, chief executive officer, Northern Light Group, who discussed the next evolution in cognitive computing in regard to knowledge management.
