Abstract

Cognitive computing is a multidisciplinary field of research aiming at devising computational models and decisionmaking mechanisms based on the neurobiological processes of the brain, cognitive sciences, and psychology. The objective of cognitive computational models is to endow computer systems with the faculties of knowing, thinking, and feeling. The major contributions of this survey include (i) giving insights into cognitive computing by listing and describing its definitions, related fields, and terms; (ii) classifying current research on cognitive computing according to its objectives; (iii) presenting a concise review of cognitive computing approaches; and (iv) identifying the open research issues in the area of cognitive computing.
