Alliance member Jans Aasman, CEO of Franz, discussed “Cognitive Computing” as it relates to clinical predictions, probabilistic inferences in criminal networks, product similarity in e-commerce and the Panama Papers during our August 19, 2016 “Alliance Voices” presentation series. The applications of cognitive science and big data machine learning to disparate problems in unrelated fields truly showed the power of data to catalyze problem solving. Refreshingly, Jans not only proselytized the theory of cognitive computing, but also presented in-depth examples of data-driven predictions that ended up perfectly matching real-world outcomes. For example, if you’re allergic to peanuts, you have a statistically greater chance of having asthma and other known diseases. Who knew? The data did.
