AI Interaction - overview
The IBM Cognitive User Experience (CUE) Lab in Cambridge envisions, builds, and studies novel Cognitive Computing technologies and solutions.
Our research approach combines user experience with applied analytics. We are focused on three areas: (1) industry-specific cognitive solutions that support complex real-world decision-making in the aviation domain, (2) enterprise virtual assistants that use conversational natural language to offer task- and knowledge-oriented suggestions to employees, and (3) cognitive social solutions that apply analytics and machine learning to collaboration tools to guide knowledge workers toward actionable insights and effective collaborative results.
