The Cognitive Systems Institute helps create linkages between faculty and IBM Researchers to define cognitive system grand challenges with clear measurable business and societal impact that might be achievable in the next 3-5 years, with the goal of further advancing the field of cognitive systems research and increasing aligned national research investments.
The Watson Developers Forum anyone can ask a question, anyone can answer, best answers get liked and float to the top.
