Focus on Azure AI

Azure AI Learning journeys

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/solutions/ai/#overview The below sections link to a very comprehensive set of resources (links, images, learning paths, etc) and it focusses on domains such as:

1. Machine learning
2. Knowledge Mining
3. Conversational AI
4. Document Process automation
5. Machine Translation
6. Speech transcription

in each of these domains, the focus is on getting you as much as (relevant) information to get you inspired (and of course started). This is done with these tools:

• Learning
  • with learning journeys
  • videos
• Responsible AI
• Inspirational examples (how are others using Azure Machine Learning?)
• Solution architectures
• AI updates (blog posts)

Machine Learning

Only Azure empowers you with the most advanced machine learning capabilities. Quickly and easily build, train, and deploy your machine learning models using Azure Machine Learning and Azure Databricks. Use the latest tools like Jupyter and Visual Studio Code, alongside frameworks like PyTorch Enterprise, TensorFlow, and Scikit-Learn. Expand your data science teams and create models faster with low-code and no-code tools like automated machine learning and a drag-and-drop interface. Plus, easily deploy at scale with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and optimize machine learning inferencing with ONNX Runtime.

Machine Learning for data Scientists offers a great set of resources that can help you when working in (or just getting started with) machine learning!

Knowledge Mining

Knowledge mining is an emerging discipline in artificial intelligence (AI) that uses a combination of intelligent services to quickly learn from vast amounts of information. It allows organizations to deeply understand and easily explore information, uncover hidden insights, and find relationships and patterns at scale.

Conversational AI

Azure Bot Service provides an integrated development environment for bot building. Its integration with Power Virtual Agents, a fully hosted low-code platform, enables developers of all technical abilities build conversational AI bots—no code needed.

Document Process automation

Form Recognizer is an AI service that applies advanced machine learning to extract text, key-value pairs, tables, and structures from documents automatically and accurately. Turn documents into usable data and shift your focus to acting on information rather than compiling it. Start with prebuilt models or create custom models tailored to your documents both on premises and in the cloud with the Form Recognizer studio or SDK.

Machine Translation

Translate text instantly or in batches across more than 100 languages, powered by the latest innovations in machine translation. Support a wide range of use cases, such as translation for call centers, multilingual conversational agents, or in-app communication.

Speech transcription

Build voice-enabled apps confidently and quickly with the Speech SDK. Transcribe speech to text with high accuracy, produce natural-sounding text-to-speech voices, translate spoken audio, and use speaker recognition during conversations. Explore with a no-code experience and create custom models tailored to your app with Speech studio.
