Possible applications of cognitive computing as a means of technology foresight
Abstract
For the purpose of technology foresight - the early detection and analysis of emerging technologies - a multitude of information, in form of texts and data, has to be perceived. Current developments in the field of cognitive computing offer increasing possibilities to support this process by means of IT-based methods and to make it more efficient. The Fraunhofer Institute for Technological Trend Analysis (Fraunhofer INT) is developing a suitable assistance system with this in mind.
