Dr. Florian Metze, Partner and Chief Speech Scientist at Cognistx, will be presenting “Speech and Deep QA (Question Answering) Developments” as part of a special Cognitive Computing track at the Big Data Summit 2017 to be held in Germany, February 16, 2017.

Dr. Metze will be showcasing how Cognitive Computing, Deep QA and context sensitive end-to-end ASR can be utilized to provide extremely intelligent solutions with an extremely simple user interface. The user can ask questions about e.g. their wireless devices and bills, power tools and home appliances, etc. The system proactively engages the user via a Question Generation (QG) module and then provides the right solution or content based on the user queries. The strength of the solution lies in an intuitive voice user interface, an interactive QG module, and its ability to synthesize large quantities of structured and un-structured data to provide the right answer based on the user query.

He will also discuss recent trends in US academia and industry that have been enabled by the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence using large amounts of data and novel machine learning algorithms.

Dr. Florian Metze is an Associate Research Professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He holds a PhD from Universität Karlsruhe (TH), and has previously worked at Deutsche Telekom Laboratories. Dr. Florian is currently a Partner and Chief Speech Scientist at Cognistx.

Treehouse Software, Inc., of Sewickley, PA and Cognistx of Pittsburgh, PA announced a partnership to help customers with improved data integration and individualization to fully leverage the power of cognitive computing.

Technology industry leaders from Accenture to Gartner to McKinsey recognize the future of computing will be cognitive, calling it a disruptive force and estimating the industry to reach $200 billion by 2020. Cognitive computing is based on leading edge technology including artificial intelligence, natural language processing, Big Data, advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms.

The Treehouse – Cognistx partnership will allow customers to ingest massive amounts of data, whether that data is numbers, images, or audio files, and mine it to find insights that lead to action, and ultimately to increased revenue from improved customer engagement.

Since the mid-1990s, Treehouse Software has been a global leader in mainframe data migration, replication and integration, offering robust and flexible solutions for ETL, CDC and real-time, multidirectional replication between databases on various platforms.

Cognistx is an applied technology company harnessing state-of-the-art cognitive computing tools to help retailers reach individuals with intuitive, intelligent and individualized offers based on their past transactions, preferences, context and profile.

Cognistx complements Treehouse’s capability to deliver data with its machine learning algorithms that become more accurate with every transaction, delivering customized, personalized, prescriptive actions in the right context. Together, the two companies will co-market their capabilities, bringing new competitive advantages to customers who want to expand the use of their most valuable asset — data.

“We’re excited to partner with Cognistx to bring our world-class enterprise data acquisition capabilities to companies that recognize the massive opportunity cognitive computing represents,” said Wayne Lashley, Treehouse Chief Business Development Officer. “We provide the data foundation and Cognistx translates that data into insights, those insights into customer actions, and those actions into incremental revenue.”

“Few retailers do a good job of marrying technology with a customized customer experience that is tailored to their behaviors and timed according to how they might use a retailer’s offer,” said Sanjay Chopra, CEO of Cognistx. “With our proprietary algorithms and Treehouse’s enterprise data solutions, both our customers win. Only with large amounts of data can our system learn about the consumer and their preferences and how those change in order to deliver only the smartest, most individualized offers.”
