Understand, design, and create cognitive applications using Watson’s suite of APIs.
Key FeaturesDevelop your skills and work with IBM Watson APIs to build efficient and powerful cognitive appsLearn how to build smart apps to carry out different sets of activities using real-world use casesGet well versed with the best practices of IBM Watson and implement them in your daily workBook Description
Cognitive computing is rapidly infusing every aspect of our lives riding on three important fields: data science, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI). It allows computing systems to learn and keep on improving as the amount of data in the system grows.
This book introduces readers to a whole new paradigm of computing – a paradigm that is totally different from the conventional computing of the Information Age. You will learn the concepts of ML, deep learning (DL), neural networks, and AI through the set of APIs provided by IBM Watson. This book will help you build your own applications to understand, plan, and solve problems, and analyze them as per your needs. You will learn about various domains of cognitive computing, such as NLP, voice processing, computer vision, emotion analytics, and conversational systems, using different IBM Watson APIs.
From this, the reader will learn what ML is, and what goes on in the background to make computers “do their magic,” as well as where these concepts have been applied. Having achieved this, the readers will then be able to embark on their journey of learning, researching, and applying the concept in their respective fields.
What you will learnGet well versed with the APIs provided by IBM Watson on IBM CloudLearn ML, AI, cognitive computing, and neural network principlesImplement smart applications in fields such as healthcare, entertainment, security, and moreUnderstand unstructured content using cognitive metadata with the help of Natural Language UnderstandingUse Watson’s APIs to create real-life applications to realize their capabilitiesDelve into various domains of cognitive computing, such as media analytics, embedded deep learning, computer vision, and moreWho this book is for
This book is for beginners and novices; having some knowledge about artificial intelligence and deep learning is an advantage, but not a prerequisite to benefit from this book. We explain the concept of deep learning and artificial intelligence through the set of tools IBM Watson provides.

Great Book for intro to Cognitive computing..
Very well written book by @Tanmay, I like the style of writing and the tone. It is easier to understand the complicated topic.Code samples provided are good and looks promising. I will be looking more deeply into the code examples but it is a great start. It is a bonus that the code is going to be updated on the GIT and will be kept up to date.

Amazing book on AI as a Service with Watson!
I’m so happy I got this book! It gives a great explanation with practical examples on AI, ML and Data Science. Moreover, the reader is able to use IBM Watson’s APIs to create real life applications, this was a very exciting part of the book. Anybody interested or wanting to upskill in Cognitive Computing, should have this book!

If you are looking for an introduction into Cognitive Computing – get this book!
Awesome book authored by @RobHigh and @Tanmay. The book is very thorough and it helped me grasp the concepts of cognitive computing. It’s a complex topic that they break down through an understandable journey.Having access to the code samples within GitHub is key and helped me put the knowledge into action right away!
