- Cognitive Services Episode 7 – Leveraging custom image classifiers for Enterprise use with…
So far in this course, we mostly focused on NLP related APIs! It's now time to see how to use the power of Vision-related services. We'll start with a glance of vision-related services but the meat of this episode is to leverage the Custom Vision Service in our day-to-day business. Remember, in the previous episodes, we built a chatbot that deals with IT tickets within the enterprise. We saw how to train LUIS to understand incident-related phrase patterns & incident numbers. Let's now see how we can automatically detect a target IT system out of snapshots captured by end users when reporting incidents.

- Tech Showcase: Mobile Directions Robot
This demo shows our work on a mobile robot that gives directions to visitors. Currently, this robot is navigating Microsoft Building 99, leading people, escorting and interacting with visitors and generally providing a social presence in the building. This robot uses Microsoft's Platform for Situated Intelligence and Windows components for human interaction, as well as a robot operating system running under Linux for robot control, localization and navigation.
- Tech Showcase: Microsoft Translator Live
Microsoft Translator live enables users to hold translated conversations across two or more languages, with up to 100 participants participating at the same time using PowerPoint, iOS, Android, Windows and web endpoints. Businesses, retail stores, and organizations around the world need to interact with customers who don't speak the same language as the service providers, and Microsoft Translator live is an answer to all these needs.
- Tech Showcase: Bing Visual Search
Visual search, AKA search by image, is a new way of searching for information using an image or part of an image as the query. Similar to text search, which connects keyword queries to knowledge on the web, the ultimate goal of visual search is to connect camera captured data or images to web knowledge. Bing has been continuously improving its visual search feature, which is now available on Bing desktop, mobile, and apps, as well as Edge browser. It can be used not only for searching for similar images but also for task completion, such as looking for similar products while shopping. Bing image search now also features image annotation and object detection, to further improve the user experience. This demo will show these techniques and the scenarios for which the techniques were developed.
- Tech Showcase: Microsoft Pix
Microsoft Pix helps every photographer take better pictures. Because it incorporates AI behind the lens, it can tweak settings, select the best shots, and enhance them on the fly. It's designed to help take the guesswork out of getting great photos, so amateur photographers enjoy the moment, instead of struggling to capture it!
- Tech Showcase: Machine Teaching Using the Platform for Interactive Concept Learning (PICL)
Building machine learning (ML) models is an involved process requiring ML experts, engineers, and labelers. The demand of models for common-sense tasks far exceeds the available "teachers" that can build them. We approach this problem by allowing domain experts to apply what we call Machine Teaching (MT) principles. These include mining domain knowledge, concept decomposition, ideation, debugging, and semantic data exploration. PICL is a toolkit that originated from the MT vision. It enables teachers with no ML expertise to build classifiers and extractors. The underlying SDK enables system designers and engineers to build customized experiences for their problem domain. In PICL, teachers can bring their own dataset, search or sample items to label using active learning strategies, label these items, create or edit features, monitor model performance, and review and debug errors, all in one place.
- Tech Showcase: Cortana, Your Personal Assistant
From ferry schedules to dinner reservations, Cortana is the digital assistant designed to help people get things done. Cortana will eventually be everywhere people need assistance—on the phone, PC, Xbox One, and other places like the home and car. Cortana is part of the Microsoft portfolio of intelligent products and services, and current research is designed to take it beyond voice search to create an assistant that is truly intelligent.

- Dependency Injection & IoC containers for Xamarin Forms
In this video we'll learn how we can apply dependency injection and inversion of control in Xamarin Forms applications this will enable us to have an application that is easy to maintain, easy to write unit tests and also easy to extend. we'll use unity application block as an IOC container in order to register and resolve all our dependencies. Using dependency injection have an advantage of being able to access the platform specific
implementation for each platform.
