We've created a series of State of .NET online events each focusing on a specific .NET topic. This installment covers machine learning, AI, and Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services.

Join Markus Egger (EPS Software President, Chief Software Architect and Microsoft Regional Director) as he continues our online series with his “State of AI” presentation.

Topics covered in this event include:

  • An overview of AI and machine learning
  • AI/ML for .NET developers
  • Azure Cognitive Services
    • Decision service (such as anomaly detection or personalization services)
    • Language services (translations, text analytics,...)
    • Speech services (speech to text, text to speech,...)
    • Vision services (computer vision, custom vision, face detection, form recognizer,..)
    • Web search services (search, auto-suggest, image search, news search,...)

Attendees will come away with an understanding of how to approach AI/ML for their own business applications. In modern software, it is hard to imagine programs that DON'T benefit from these new capabilities. This session aims to provide a starting point and an overview for developers who want to gain an understanding for how AI/ML can benefit their projects, and how to get started.

Note: Only registered attendees will receive the live stream URL via email the morning of the event.
