Description

Deploying Machine Learning (ML) algorithms within databases is a challenge due to the varied computational footprints of modern ML algorithms and the myriad of database technologies. This tutorial will explore the Azure Cognitive Services for Big Data: a framework that makes it easy to apply state-of-the-art intelligent models to enterprise data, independent of scale or datastore. We will show how to embed algorithms like OCR, Speech Recognition, Object Detection, and Sentiment Analysis into a variety of databases.  We will also dive deep into the world of planet-scale intelligent services and our recent work to unify distributed computing with microservice orchestration. Finally, we will apply these techniques to demonstrate how to create a custom visual search engine for over 5000 years of human culture.
