Understanding Microsoft Cognitive Services
Microsoft Cognitive Services can be defined as a collection of APIs that can be easily configured and consumed to bring powerful artificial intelligence capabilities to applications, websites, and bots. Microsoft Cognitive Services are standard JSON-based REST APIs which can be consumed from a number of popular languages like Curl, C#, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, and so on. Early in 2015, Microsoft had released a set of technologies under Project Oxford that allowed developers to build more intelligent apps incorporating Machine Learning aspects, which was then later rebranded to Microsoft Cognitive Services. Currently, Microsoft Cognitive Services consists of different APIs such as Computer Vision API, Video API, Bing Speech API, Text Analytics API, Recommendations API, Bing Image Search API, and so on, categorized into Vision, Speech, Language, Knowledge and Speech.
