How To Create A Cognitive Service In Azure

How to Create a Cognitive Service in Azure?

In this article, you will learn about Azure Cognitive Services and its applications with a step-by-step tutorial to create a cognitive service in Azure. This service will enable developers to create Artificial Intelligence applications.

Microsoft Azure

Azure is a cloud computing service developed by Microsoft which enables organizations and individuals to build, test, deploy and manage their applications in a high availability and rapidly scalable platform with unparalleled security offerings and benefits in comparison to the traditional on-premises infrastructure.

Azure Cognitive Services

Azure Cognitive Services enables organizations to build cognitive intelligence for applications with client library SDKs and REST APIs. Azure Cognitive Services allows developers to integrate cognitive features into applications with no prior knowledge of Machine Learning, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence skillset. From Computer Vision to Natural Language Processing and Conversational AI, Azure Cognitive Services enables all kinds of applications.

API

Application Programming Interface (API) is basically just an interface through which two systems - software applications or hardware-software intermediary can communicate with each other.

REST API

REST stands for representational state transfer. RESTful API is an architectural style for an application programming interface (API) that enables the access and use of data using HTTP requests.

To create applications such as face detection systems, object detection, face recognition, speech applications such as text to speech and vice versa, Anomaly Detection, or even search applications, Cognitive Services makes it easy for it all. Let us learn to create a cognitive service in azure now.

SDK

SDK stands for Software Development Kit which are powerful tools, that enable application development. It contains all the development tools to create software in one installable package.
