The Internet of Things (IoT) is reshaping every industry from manufacturing to medicine, and opportunities to transform business are nearly limitless.

Last week we announced a preview of Docker support for Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services with an initial set of containers ranging from Computer Vision and Face, to Text Analytics.

Building solutions with machine learning often requires a data scientist. Azure Cognitive Services enable organizations to take advantage of AI with developers, without requiring a data scientist.

I believe progress requires that we stay focused in pushing the boundaries of human accomplishment. We don’t simply add features to be trendy; we do so in order to solve actual problems, and it is that mindset that keeps us advancing.

Keep current on what’s happening in Azure, including what’s now in preview, generally available, news & updates, and more.

The Text Analytics Cognitive Service announces Public Preview of Named Entity Recognition. With a simple API call, apply robust machine learning models to your unstructured text and recognize more than 20 types of named entities such as people, places, organizations, quantities, dates, and more.

Combining biometric identification with artificial intelligence (AI) enables banks to take a new approach to verifying the digital identity of their prospects and customers.

AI, data and cloud are bringing in the next wave of transformative innovations across industries. With Azure AI, our purpose is to empower organizations to use AI to engage customers, empower employees, optimize operations and transform products.

Microsoft has reached a milestone in text-to-speech synthesis with a production system that uses deep neural networks to make the voices of computers nearly indistinguishable from recordings of people.

To build an effective and scalable solution, developers need technology that can be deployed around the world and still provide results with high confidence.

We are pleased to announce the release of another update to the Cognitive Services Speech SDK (version 0.6.0). With this release, we have added the support for Java on Windows 10 (x64) and Linux (x64).

The digital experience (DX) era is here, and AI is one of the primary technologies to fuel productivity and innovation in the retail and consumer goods industry.
