A federation of cognitive cloud services for trusting data sources

Abstract

The cloud is emerging as a data-centric, intelligent platform ready to deal with the next generation of applications and workloads. At the center of this emerging intelligent cloud is deep learning, which is undoubtedly the most disruptive technology of this decade, supported by the rise of powerful computing and storage environments. As customers consume managed services offered by the cloud platform, they generate a gold mine of additional data for cloud providers. The cloud has all essential components to deliver compelling deep learning capabilities thus offering services for building applications based on cognitive computing, predictive analytics, intelligent Internet of Things, interactive personal assistants and bots. Since data can be effectively considered as the new oil of the digital economy, new capabilities for an intelligent processing are required. In this work we propose a cloud based federation of cognitive services aiming to support intelligent applications to trust unknown data sources.
