Cognitive Computing Bootcamp

Watson APIs provide access to cognitive computing capabilities that can understand, reason, and learn from large amounts of unstructured data. These APIs allow developers to enhance, scale, and accelerate human expertise across many industries by incorporating cognitive services into their applications. The Watson Developer Cloud provides a collection of REST APIs and SDKs that perform functions like language translation, text analysis, and visual recognition to help solve complex problems.
