Adding cognitive capabilities to a custom application
BMC Helix Innovation Studio provides cognitive service that enables you to use the advantages of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in your applications. BMC Helix Innovation Studio enables administrators to use one of the following classification service providers for the cognitive service:
- IBM Watson Assistant Conversation Service for classification
- BMC Native (Google) classification based on Google Cloud Platform
By using the capabilities provided by the classification service providers, you can use the cognitive service to automate your application workflow tasks, such as assignment and categorization.
To understand the cognitive service use case, see Leveraging-cognitive-capabilities-in-your-application.
Workflow
The following image illustrates the end-to-end process for developing an application that uses the BMC Helix Cognitive Automation. It describes the roles involved, steps required, and the tools used in the application development.
Development of an application that uses BMC Helix Cognitive Automation comprises of the following tasks:
Task | Role | Action | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Administrator | Creates an application by using the Maven archetype. | |
2 | Administrator | Creates the definitions for the application, builds, and deploys the application. | |
3 | Administrator | Creates a configuration for your application so an administrator can use the configuration to train the cognitive service. | |
4 | Administrator | (Optional) Creates a data set to train and test the cognitive service. You can create a training data sets that either uses sample data or uses data from your application to train the cognitive service. | |
5 | Administrator | (Optional) Creates a Java program to use auto-assignment. | |
6 | Administrator | Creates processes or rules that uses the cognitive service elements. | |
7 | Administrator | Exports the definitions and deploy the application. | |
8 | Administrator | Selects the classification service provider for configuring the cognitive service. | |
