Let’s face it, machine learning is hard. As developers with lots of tasks already, we need all the help we can get. That’s where Microsoft Azure comes in. Azure provides three levels of machine learning services to developers.
This talk covers those three levels.
First are the Azure Cognitive Services, a set a RESTful APIs exposing trained models for common tasks, which require almost no knowledge of machine learning to take advantage of.
Second is the Azure Machine Learning Studio which lets you visually design machine learning workflows at a conceptual level.
And finally, is the Azure Machine Learning Service which manages the entire machine learning lifecycle, using a process called MLOps. Azure also provides services related to machine learning such as the Azure Bot Framework, and Azure Databricks.
There is something for everyone in machine learning from Azure, those who do and do not have a Ph.D.
