Manage Cognitions

Cognitive Analytics: Manage Cognitions

This workflow describes the process for designing and executing cognitions. Cognitions can be used to transform historical, transactional data into a standardized, classified format for improved analysis.

Blue text in a shape indicates that a description is provided for that step in the following sections. For more information, refer to the topic Interpreting the Workflow Diagrams.

Create or Select Cognition

Persona: Analyst

Create a new cognition, or select an existing cognition.

Define or Select Query

Persona: Analyst

To build a cognition, source data is required as an input. Define a specific query to return source data from the GE Digital APM database to use for the cognition. Additionally, define the classification output destination, which can be another family in the GE Digital APM database, or write back to parallel fields in the source data as an update.

Design Cognition Logic and Mappings

Persona: Analyst

Define source inputs and all associated logic to map to specific classification output fields. Mappings may be a simple one-to-one mapping of fields, or they may include simple case logic, comparison logic, and/or classifier algorithms.

Manage Classifiers

Persona: Analyst

Once classifiers (i.e., Fuzzy Logic and Machine Learning scripts) are tested and trained, they are available for use in cognitions.

Go to the Manage Classifiers workflow.

Define Schedule

Persona: Analyst

Define a schedule for the cognition to run by hour, day, week, or month.

Define Date Parameters

Persona: Analyst

Provide date parameter(s) as part of the source query design in order to limit the query input to only classify newly created or updated source data.

Activate Cognition

Persona: Analyst

Once satisfied with the cognition design and parameters, activate the cognition. Only active cognitions can be executed.

Execute Cognition

Persona: Analyst

Execute the active cognition manually, or allow the cognition to execute per the schedule defined. Upon execution, the cognition logic will be applied to classify source data into the selected output destination in the GE Digital APM database.

Other APM Workflows

Persona: Analyst

The classified data is now available for use by other GE Digital APM solutions and workflows.
