What are Cognitive Services?CognitiveServices
• Natural interaction with humans
– For example speech and emotions
– Not only used by web applications, but also in physical
world
• Processing of semi-structured data and big amounts of data
– For example language classifications and image
recognitions
• Trained and continuously improved via machine and deep
learning
– For example search (retrieve and rank)
– Leverages context to improve service qualities

DialogDialog
• Enables your application to use natural language to converse
with users
• Demo: Minecraft

NaturalLanguageClassifier
• Performs natural language classification on question texts
• Demo:

• Gives your users an engaging experience with your application
by guiding them through a series of tasks in natural language -
rather than a long form
