GREAT PLEASURE TO BE WITH SETH,
AND I LEAD THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
AND WE BRING AI WITHIN THE REACH
ARE PRE-TRAINED MODELS AND CUSTOMIZABLE
AS COMPUTER INNOVATION, SPEECH,
THING I NOTICE ABOUT THIS BUILD
COMPETITION FOR ABOUT 18 YEARS AND
IN THIS COMPETITION HAVE USED COGNITIVE
AMAZING TO SEE. TODAY WE HAVE ABOUT
COGNITIVE SERVICES AND CONSUMING
A COUPLE OF THE POINTS, VIA POWER,
TRANSCRIPTION THAT YOU SEE HERE,
SERVICES AND ALSO, WE ARE WORKING
IN TERMS OF BRINGING COGNITIVE SERVICES
TO TALK MORE ABOUT COGNITIVE SERVICES
IS AMAZING. BY THE WAY, WE WANT
SEND THEM IN AND I WILL READ THEM
MORE IMPORTANT THAN MINE. I SPENT
QUESTIONS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
START WITH YOU, LUIS, JUST AN OVERVIEW
MODEL? NUMBER ONE. AND THEN, HOW
MAKING PEOPLE CONSUME THEM? >> YEAH,
SO MUCH. SO ESSENTIALLY MACHINE
ON DATA TO HELP COMPUTER ESSENTIALLY
HEARD A LOT ABOUT THEM LATELY BUT
MAKE THEM USEFUL . HOW CAN WE MAKE
IS WHAT WE ARE FOCUSED ON. WE TAKE
THAT A MAN IS TALKING ON, WE ARE
WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH, REAL
REAL DATA SOURCES AND SO FORTH.
TO FIND THE INSIGHTS TO EXPLORE
FOR INSTANCE, WE INTRODUCE WHAT
THAT HAS TO DO WITH INGESTION OF
SOURCES WITH THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND
APPLY MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS
WILL AND THEN, CREATE THE TOOLS
TO EXPLORE AND FIND INSIGHTS IN
REASONS WHY I LIKE INTELLIGENT SEARCH
BRINGS TOGETHER LIKE A NUMBER OF
LEAST IT CAN. SO WHY DON'T WE START
OF COGNITIVE SERVICES THAT PEOPLE
HOW WE CAN USE THEM TOGETHER AND
POWERFUL SOLUTION FOR PEOPLE. LUIS.
YEAH. FOR INSTANCE, MY END, YOU
TO EXPLORE THOSE DOCUMENTS. BUT
MAY BE IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. OR
HAVE THESE DOCUMENTS BUT THEY MAY
IN THEM. AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO MASK
SOME EXAMPLES WHERE WE CAN INGEST
COGNITIVE SKILLS AS WE CALL THEM
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENTITIES OR MASK
IN ORDER TO STRUCTURE THE INFORMATION,
USE THE INFORMATION TO GET IT BACK,
COGNITIVE SEARCH. EVEN PROJECTING
ON IT, FOR INSTANCE. >> LET'S TALK
YOU MENTIONED DOCUMENTS, ARE WE
SAID WAS BASICALLY TEXT. CAN IT
COURSE. IN MY END, I HAVE A DOCUMENT
HAS SOME GRAPHS INSIDE OF THERE.
HAS SPECIFIC GRAPH IN IT. FOR INSTANCE,
IMAGE ANALYSIS, TO EXTRACT ALL OF
THEY HAVE IMAGE OF YOU SETH, INSIDE
IMAGE ANALYSIS, SAY SOMETHING LIKE,
RIGHT? THEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO
IT MAYBE ONLY HAS IMAGE OF YOU INSIDE
AMAZING IF THERE ARE DOCUMENTS WITH
NUMBER ONE. LUIS WAS TALKING ABOUT
A BUNCH OF COGNITIVE SERVICES, NAMELY
INTELLIGENCE WITH AI. CAN YOU TELL
THAT ARE IN COGNITIVE SERVICES THAT
THEIR APPS IMMEDIATELY? >> SURE.
TEAM HOLLOW, STUDENT COMPETITION
HOLLOW, THESE ARE 18-YEAR-OLD STUDENTS
THEY ARE CALLING OR SPEED SERVICES,
CALL AP-I AND EXTRACT INFORMATION
THESE AMAZING APPS FOR DETECTING
MENTAL HEALTH AS A PART OF THE STUDENT
WE ALSO PROVIDE AMAZING SUPPORT
THE CAPABILITIES ARE SPEECH TO TEXT.
FACE DETECTION. YOU NAME IT. AND
SKILLS, IN TERMS OF DOING PHONE
SUCH AS REINFORCEMENT LEARNING FOR
AND SO FORTH. SO I DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE
IS BASICALLY LIKE AN SDK FOR INTELLIGENCE
RIGHT? >> THAT IS RIGHT. IF YOU
WANTING TO BUILDING A MACHINE LEARNING
DATA, YOU BUILD, YOU TRAIN, SOMETHING
ABOUT AZURE MACHINE LEARNING. WE
EACH OF DEVELOPMENT, APA CALL. >>
TO CHRIS, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SECURITY,
TO PEOPLE THAT USE COGNITIVE SERVICES?
PEOPLE WILL SEND THAT MAYBE THEY
LUIS? >> SURE, ONE OF THE -- >>
>> NO, NO, LET ME QUICKLY MENTION
IN. ONE IS, THE GLOBAL REACH THAT
ALSO WITH THE ENTERPRISE GRADE,
CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT ENCRYPTION KEY.
SOMETHING WITH AZURE SEARCH IS ALSO
RIGHT ANNAN. WE ARE WORKING ON ESSENTIALLY
IS SECURE FROM THE MOMENT THAT YOU
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN
MANAGE IDENTITIES IS A WAY TO CONNECT
WANT TO SET A FIRE WALL. RIGHT?
YOUR DATA REST AND SECURE. YOU KNOW,
KEYS ARE EXAMPLES OF THAT. WE ARE
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE
AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE SAFE,
>> LAST QUESTION FOR ANNAN, I HEARD
BUT DON'T WANT TO MAKE A CALL TO
LOCALLY SOMEHOW? IS THERE AN ANSWER
