We combine two very powerful ideas, Associative Memories (also called Depp Learning w/o back propagation) and Kolmogorov Complexity for Cognitive Computing in order to make meaning from huge data sets in real time. Associative Memories mimic how humans learn and think but much faster and more powerfully. Saffron Technology has implemented a most efficient Associative Memory storing graphs as matrices in a triple store. The Associative Memory functions as a universal compressor for approximating Kolmogorov Complexity K(x). The universal cognitive distance based on K(x) is used for reasoning by similarity like a super brain. We'll show use cases from health care @Mt Sinai Hospital in NY - automatic diagnosis of echocardiograms in real time, global risk @The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation - real time threat scoring reading incoming emails, and maintenance and repair @Boeing - predicting before a part breaks.
