SAS Cognitive Computing Solves Complex Problems

By on

ecgAccording to PRWeb, SAS, the leader in analytics, has announced its new SAS Viya platform. Nearly unlimited applications of this technology include detecting cyber criminals, regulating power during heat waves and automating retail pricing. SAS is committed to delivering a wide range of new analytic and machine learning (and cognitive) algorithms. Combined, they help developers create cognitive computing systems and apply them to high volumes of fast-moving data from text and images, and soon from audio and video, too. The latest SAS additions to the portfolio of analytics that contribute to cognitive computing are SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning and SAS Visual Investigator.

“Cognitive computing is disruptive, combining technologies such as natural language processing, image processing, text mining and machine learning to augment human intelligence,” said Oliver Schabenberger, SAS Executive Vice President and CTO. “SAS has supported cognitive technologies in analytics for decades. The exciting change is applying deep learning and high-performance computing to achieve greater automation and accuracy in the interaction between computers and people.”

“Cognitive computing systems will come in all flavors,” said Fern Halper, Vice President at TDWI. “The consistent threads underpinning them are rich data sources coupled with powerful, flexible analytics that connect the dots in the data to automate human tasks. They might be as mundane as adjusting your home’s air conditioning or as complicated as assisting the electric company to regulate the flow of energy to your city during a heat wave.
