What is AI (Artificial Intelligence)?


AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the creation of software that takes
human behaviors and capabilities as Patterns.

Key elements of AI:


 Machine learning - This is often the foundation for an AI
system, and is the way we "teach" a computer model to
make prediction and draw conclusions from data.
 Anomaly detection - The capability to automatically detect
errors or unusual activity in a system.
 Computer Vision - The capability of software to interpret
the world visually through cameras, video, and images.
 Natural language processing - The capability for a
computer to interpret written or spoken language, and
respond in kind.
 Conversational AI - The capability of a software "agent" to
participate in a conversation.

How does Machine Learning work?


 We create huge volumes of data in our everyday lives.

 We generate massive amounts of information from the text


messages, emails, and social media posts.

 More data still is created by millions of sensors in our homes,


cars, cities, public transport infrastructure, and factories.

 Data scientists can use all of that data to train machine


learning models that can make predictions and inferences
based on the relationships they find in the data.

Machine Learning in Microsoft Azure?


Microsoft Azure provides the Azure Machine learning service - a
cloud-based platform for creating, managing and publishing
machine learning models.
Features:
 Automated machine learning - enables non-experts to
quickly create an effective machine learning model from
data.
 Azure Machine Learning designer - A graphical interface
enabling no-code development of machine learning
solutions.
 Data and compute management - Cloud-based data
storage and compute resources that professional data
scientists can use to run data experiment code at scale
 Pipelines - Data scientists, software engineers, and IT
operations professionals can define pipelines to orchestrate
model training, deployment, and management tasks.

Use Cases

Use Cases for Anomaly Detection


 Monitor credit card transactions and detect unusual usage
patterns that might indicate fraud

 An application that tracks activity in an automated


production line and identifies failures

 A racing car telemetry system that uses sensors to


proactively warn engineers about potential mechanical
failures before they happen

Service used for Anomaly Detection in Microsoft


Azure
 The Anomaly Detector service provides an application
programming interface (API) that developers can use to
create anomaly detection solutions
 An AI service that helps you foresee problems before they
occur

 Boost your business systems’ reliability with early problem


detection
Use Cases for Computer Vision
Computer Visions an area of AI that deals with visual processing.

 Image classification

 Object detection

 Semantic segmentation

 Image analysis

 Face detection, analysis, and recognition

 Optical character recognition (OCR)

Service used for Computer Vision in Microsoft


Azure
 Computer Vision - to analyze images and video, and
extract descriptions, tags, objects, and text.
 Custom Vision – to train custom image classification and
object detection models using your own images.
 Face - enables you to build face detection and facial
recognition solutions.
 Form Recognizer - to extract information from scanned
forms and invoices.

Use Cases for NLP (Natural Language Processing)


Natural language processing (NLP) is the area of AI that deals with
creating software that understands written and spoken language.

 Analyze and interpret text in documents, email messages,


and other sources.

 Interpret spoken language, and synthesize speech


responses.

 Automatically translate spoken or written phrases between


languages.

 Interpret commands and determine appropriate actions.


Service used for NLP (Natural Language
Processing) in Microsoft Azure
 Text Analytics - to analyze text documents and extract key
phrases, detect entities (such as places, dates, and people),
and evaluate sentiment (how positive or negative a
document is)
 Translator Text - to translate text between more than 60
languages
 Speech - to recognize and synthesize speech, and to
translate spoken languages
 Language Understanding Intelligent Service (LUIS) -
to train a language model that can understand spoken or
text-based commands

Use Cases for conversational AI


 Conversational AI is the term used to describe solutions
where AI agents participate in conversations with humans.
Most commonly, conversational AI solutions use bots to
manage dialogs with users
 These dialogs can take place through web site interfaces,
email, social media platforms, messaging systems, phone
calls, and other channels.

Use Case
 Customer support for products or services.
 Reservation systems for restaurants, airlines, cinemas, and
other appointment based businesses.
 Health care consultations and self-diagnosis.
 Home automation and personal digital assistants.

Service used for Conversational AI in Microsoft


Azure
 QnA Maker - to quickly build a knowledge base of questions
and answers that can form the basis of a dialog between a
human and an AI agent
 Azure Bot Service - provides a platform for creating,
publishing, and managing bots
