Intelligence
What is Artificial Intelligence?

Software that imitates human capabilities

 Predicting outcomes and recognizing patterns based
on historic data
 Recognizing abnormal events and making decisions
 Interpreting visual input
 Understanding language, and engaging in
conversations
 Extracting information from sources to gain knowledge
Common Artificial Intelligence Workloads

Predictive models based on data and statistics –

Machine Learning the foundation for AI

Systems that detect unusual patterns or events,

Anomaly Detection enabling pre-emptive action

Applications that interpret visual input from

Computer Vision cameras, images, or videos

Applications that can interpret written or

Natural Language Processing spoken language, and engage in dialogs with
human users

Extract information from data sources to create

Knowledge Mining a searchable knowledge store

Lesson 2: Artificial Intelligence in
Microsoft Azure
Azure Basics

Scalable, reliable cloud platform

 Data storage
 Compute
 Services
Subscription

Resource Group
AI Services in Microsoft Azure

A platform for training, deploying, and

managing machine learning models

A suite of services with four main pillars:

Vision, Speech, Language, Decision
A cloud-based platform for developing and
managing conversational bots
Data extraction, enrichment, and indexing
for intelligent search and knowledge mining
Cognitive Services

• AI application resources in an
Azure subscription:
• Standalone resources for specific services
• General Cognitive Services resource for
multiple services
• Consumed by applications via:
• A REST endpoint (https:// address)
• An authentication key or authorization
token
