TCS Cognitive AI: A platform for multimedia-driven insights

Overview

Valuable insights and business opportunities remain hidden in unstructured video and image data.

Today, a considerable amount of unstructured data is being produced, predominantly in the form of images and videos. This audiovisual data cannot be read or understood easily by traditional computing devices. What’s more, the data is stored across multiple locations, including data lakes, databases, and social media accounts.

To harness this data intelligently, organizations are increasingly looking to AI, machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL). Computer vision can be used to extract insights from audiovisual files stored in multiple locations. Together, AI, ML, DL, and computer vision can help businesses gain a competitive edge by identifying patterns in data, gleaning better insights, unearthing new opportunities, and taking smarter, effective decisions quickly.

Solution

Gain insights that enhance customer experience and improve productivity, quality, safety, and maintenance.
