Leben Things! In case you don’t speak Elvish, that roughly translates to “Five Things”. Apparently "things" is an Elivsh word. Who knew?!

This week I sit down with Noelle LaCharite from the Microsoft Cognitive Services team to learn how machines can translate language (like Elvish?), perform search on unstructured data, converse like humans and more. Even better, you can use this stuff in your applications right away; no degree in multi-dimensional calculus required. This is five ways that you can infuse AI into your applications today.

Add a little Artificial Intelligence to your life with these resources:

• Build an FAQ bot with QnA Maker
• Use AI to search your unstructured data
• Translate speech to text – even with a lot of background noise
• Add a search engine for just your data
• Use computer vision to process images of text
• Watch more episodes
