Microsoft Azure's Cognitive Services are a collection of APIs and tools that allow you to use AI and machine-learning for your applications. These services are intended to be used by anyone with basic programming knowledge. Azure offers SDKs in many programming languages to make it easy to use the services.
Text Analytics API
Cognitive services Azure Text Analytics API provides a variety of ways to process text data. For example, you can use this API to search and analyze documents. A batch of documents can be submitted for this purpose. This method is faster than sending individual requests for each document. This method allows you to simultaneously process documents from different languages.
The Azure CLI also allows you to use the Text Analytics API. You can use the API to create and deploy custom applications. For example, you can use Sentiment Analysis to detect positive or negative sentiment in text, regardless of language.
Translator Text API
Before you start using Microsoft Azure Translator Text API you need to have these prerequisites. First, you have to have an Azure subscription. Next, you will need to choose a valid country. The region must correspond to the region where you subscribed to Text API.
Successful requests return an access token encoded plain text in the response. This token can be used to pass the Authorization header to the Translator. This token has a validity of ten minutes. It should be used again when you make repeated calls to Translator. Programs that make extended requests should also request new access tokens at regular intervals.
Custom Vision API
Azure Cognitive Services offers a flexible and customizable way to train machine-learning models using the Custom Vision API. The API is available for many applications, including image labeling or object detection. You can also train the models via an online portal. But they need to be aware that there are limitations. The Custom Vision API doesn't support biometric verification, or identifying individuals by biometric markers. In addition, it is not suitable for processing large collections of images. It is best to use Optical Character Recognition for this purpose (OCR).
Developers can use the Custom Vision API to create a machine-learning model using their own images. The model can then either be exported into apps or used offline on a mobile device. Developers can combine Custom Vision services with other Vision services. Moreover, the pricing model for Cognitive Services helps developers estimate the cost.
Language Understanding Intelligence Service
The Microsoft Azure Language Understanding Intelligence Service gives developers the ability to train natural-language understanding models. The cloud machine learning methods are combined with artificial intelligence. The service offers a REST API and client library to help developers integrate AI into their applications. You can also access the service via a custom website portal or a quickstart book.
LUIS is a cloud-based API service that applies custom machine-learning intelligence to natural language text, predicting overall meaning and pulling detailed information. It is used by client applications that communicate with users in natural language, including speech-enabled desktop applications and social media apps. It was previously known under the Azure LUIS name, but is now a full-fledged Azure Cognitive Services.
FAQ
How does AI affect the workplace?
It will transform the way that we work. We can automate repetitive tasks, which will free up employees to spend their time on more valuable activities.
It will help improve customer service as well as assist businesses in delivering better products.
It will allow us future trends to be predicted and offer opportunities.
It will enable organizations to have a competitive advantage over other companies.
Companies that fail AI adoption are likely to fall behind.
Why is AI important
It is predicted that we will have trillions connected to the internet within 30 year. These devices will include everything from cars to fridges. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the combination of billions of devices with the internet. IoT devices will be able to communicate and share information with each other. They will be able make their own decisions. Based on past consumption patterns, a fridge could decide whether to order milk.
It is estimated that 50 billion IoT devices will exist by 2025. This is a huge opportunity to businesses. This presents a huge opportunity for businesses, but it also raises security and privacy concerns.
What does AI do?
An algorithm is a set or instructions that tells the computer how to solve a particular problem. An algorithm can be described in a series of steps. Each step has an execution date. A computer executes each instruction sequentially until all conditions are met. This process repeats until the final result is achieved.
For example, suppose you want the square root for 5. If you wanted to find the square root of 5, you could write down every number from 1 through 10. Then calculate the square root and take the average. However, this isn't practical. You can write the following formula instead:
sqrt(x) x^0.5
This means that you need to square your input, divide it with 2, and multiply it by 0.5.
Computers follow the same principles. It takes your input, squares and multiplies by 2 to get 0.5. Finally, it outputs the answer.
Who created AI?
Alan Turing
Turing was conceived in 1912. His father was a clergyman, and his mother was a nurse. He was an exceptional student of mathematics, but he felt depressed after being denied by Cambridge University. He discovered chess and won several tournaments. After World War II, he worked in Britain's top-secret code-breaking center Bletchley Park where he cracked German codes.
He died in 1954.
John McCarthy
McCarthy was born on January 28, 1928. He studied maths at Princeton University before joining MIT. He developed the LISP programming language. He was credited with creating the foundations for modern AI in 1957.
He died in 2011.
What can you do with AI?
AI has two main uses:
* Predictions - AI systems can accurately predict future events. AI can help a self-driving automobile identify traffic lights so it can stop at the red ones.
* Decision making. AI systems can make important decisions for us. You can have your phone recognize faces and suggest people to call.
What is the state of the AI industry?
The AI market is growing at an unparalleled rate. It's estimated that by 2020 there will be over 50 billion devices connected to the internet. This will mean that we will all have access to AI technology on our phones, tablets, and laptops.
Businesses will have to adjust to this change if they want to remain competitive. If they don’t, they run the risk of losing customers and clients to companies who do.
You need to ask yourself, what business model would you use in order to capitalize on these opportunities? Could you set up a platform for people to upload their data, and share it with other users. Perhaps you could offer services like voice recognition and image recognition.
Whatever you choose to do, be sure to think about how you can position yourself against your competition. Even though you might not win every time, you can still win big if all you do is play your cards well and keep innovating.
