Microsoft Azure AI is a portfolio of AI services that are designed and created for developers and data scientists. Azure AI helps in building and deploying your own AI solutions. How interesting is that right? You can access high-quality vision, language, speech, and decision-making AI models through simple API calls and you will be able to create your machine learning models with the help of tools like Notebook, Visual Studio Code, and open-source frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. Now that we learned about what Azure AI is all about, let’s now explore what new developments took place about the Azure AI developments and services.
It can describe images, as well as people, do
Microsoft researchers have built an AI system that can generate captions for images that are more accurate than what people describe too. The new model is now available to the customers on Azure Cognitive Services that is part of Azure AI. This automatic image captioning can help users to access important content in any image hustle-free. The image captioning systems are trained with datasets that have images paired with sentences or words that can describe the images.
Bugs Bunny into life using Custom Neural Voice
The AT&T Experience store in Dallas now can greet you with your name and ask you for help finding the carrots that are hidden in the store. Isn't that amazing to know? All thanks to the augmented reality, 5G, artificial intelligence, and custom neural voice that is designed by Microsoft Azure AI technology. And Bugs Bunny can also follow your directors to navigate the store in search of the golden carrots giving you the real-time chatting experience. The technology that makes the conversation flow is the neural text-to-speech capability within Azure Cognitive Services. Bugs Bunny was created to give the customer a great experience by demonstrating the 5G cellular network. Bugs Bunny stands as the first animated character AT&T that was brought to life using a custom neural voice. The availability of custom neural voice also includes technical controls to aid and prevent misuse of the service.
Azure AI and Machine Learning Services for Enterprises
Microsoft has always shown its presence in most enterprise developments and IT shops and now Azure AI and Machine Learning platform has together shown its presence in the enterprise development, data science, and data analysis shops. Azure AI and Machine Learning include 17 cognitive services pitching into three skills as cognitive search, bot services, and Azure Databricks integrated with Azure services.
