AI & ML Academy - Scenario-based Services

Welcome to the AI & ML Academy - Scenario-based Services!

In this module, we’ll look at Scenario-based services, including Document Intelligence, Azure AI Search, Metrics Advisor, Personalizer, Video Indexer, Anomaly Detector, and Power Virtual Agents.

Scenario-based Services

Document Intelligence

Document Intelligence, formerly known as 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.

Conceptual

• The AI Show -Ep52: Analyze unstructured docs and more with Azure Document Intelligence - This is a great resource to understand Document Intelligence capabilities and updates.
• Applied AI Blog - A place to ask any questions you may have about Document Intelligence as you work on your solutions.

Updates

• Build Recap: The Newest Features from Azure Document Intelligence - See the latest features for Azure Document Intelligence!

AI Search

AI Search, formerly known as Azure Cognitive Search, is a cloud search service with built-in AI capabilities that enrich all types of information to help you identify and explore relevant content at scale. Use cognitive skills for vision, language, and speech, or use custom machine learning models to uncover insights from all types of content.

Conceptual

• Implement Knowledge Mining with Azure AI Search - Learning path to understand knowledge mining with Azure AI Search.
• Indexing multiple Azure Blob Storage containers in Azure AI Search - Hands-on lab to understand how to index multiple blob storage containers in Azure AI Search.
• ServerlessIndexer - Hands-on tool for a trigger indexer with a Push API solution.
• Azure AI Search UI - Hands-on React template for Azure AI Search.
• Business Process Accelerator - No code solution for creating a multi-stage AI pipeline.

Metrics Advisor

Metrics Advisor is a part of Azure Applied AI Services that uses AI to perform data monitoring and anomaly detection in time series data. The service automates the process of applying models to your data and provides a set of APIs and a web-based workspace for data ingestion, anomaly detection, and diagnostics, without needing to know machine learning.

• Azure Metrics Advisor Documentation - Documentation with QuickStarts and tutorials.
• Supply Chain Anomaly Detection and Root Cause Analysis with Azure Metric Advisor - Blog post for a use case for supply chain anomaly detection.

Personalizer

Create optimized user experiences, boost conversion and engagement, and add real-time relevance to product recommendations, with reinforcement learning–based capabilities. Personalizer can suggest general and individual layouts for users, using API calls.

Conceptual

• Azure Cognitive Services - Personalizer Samples - Hands-on tutorials and resources for Personalizer.
• Personalizer Documentation - Documentation with QuickStarts and tutorials.
• Personalizer API Reference - API reference guide.

Video Indexer

Azure Video Indexer is a cloud application built on Azure Media Services and Azure Cognitive Services. It enables you to extract the insights from your videos using Azure Video Indexer video and audio models.

Conceptual

• Video Indexer Samples - Hands-on lab with examples of Video Indexer in action.

Anomaly Detector

Anomaly Detector ingests time-series data of all types and selects the best anomaly detection algorithm for your data to ensure high accuracy. Detect spikes, dips, deviations from cyclic patterns, and trend changes through both univariate and multivariate APIs.

Conceptual

• 4 sets of best practices to use Multivariate Anomaly Detector when monitoring your equipment - Blog post with best practices.
• The AI Show -Ep11: New to Anomaly Detector: Multivariate Capabilities - All about Multivariate Anomaly Detection.
• Anomaly Detector API Samples - Hands-on lab with samples for anomaly detection.

Power Virtual Agents

Power Virtual Agents lets you create powerful AI-powered chatbots for a range of requests—from providing simple answers to common questions to resolving issues requiring complex conversations. Engage with customers and employees in multiple languages across websites, mobile apps, Facebook, Microsoft Teams, or any channel supported by the Azure Bot Framework.
