Learning Microsoft Cognitive Services - Second Edition

Overview of this book

Microsoft has revamped its Project Oxford to launch the all new Cognitive Services platform-a set of 30 APIs to add speech, vision, language, and knowledge capabilities to apps. This book will introduce you to 24 of the APIs released as part of Cognitive Services platform and show you how to leverage their capabilities. More importantly, you'll see how the power of these APIs can be combined to build real-world apps that have cognitive capabilities. The book is split into three sections: computer vision, speech recognition and language processing, and knowledge and search. You will be taken through the vision APIs at first as this is very visual, and not too complex. The next part revolves around speech and language, which are somewhat connected. The last part is about adding real-world intelligence to apps by connecting them to Knowledge and Search APIs. By the end of this book, you will be in a position to understand what Microsoft Cognitive Service can offer and how to use the different APIs.

Training a model


Now that we have a working model, it is time to put it into action.

Training and publishing the model

The first step to using the model is to make sure the model has some utterances to work with. As we have seen, we have added one utterance per intent for now. Before we deploy the application, we need more.

Think of three to four different ways to set or get the room temperature and add them, specifying the entities and intents. Also, add a couple of utterances that fall into the None intent, just for reference.

When we have added new utterances, we need to train the model. Doing so will make LUIS develop code to recognize relevant entities and intents in the future. This process is done periodically; however, it is wise to do it when you have made changes, before publication. This can be done by selecting Train & Test in the left-hand menu. Click on Train application.

To test the application, one can simply enter test sentences in the Interactive Testing tab. This will show...
