Key benefits

Learn how to gain better insights from your data by applying different AI techniques within Power BI
Save time by creating machine learning models independently and integrating them within your BI reports
Understand how to combine Cognitive Services and Azure Machine Learning together with Power BI

Description

The artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in Power BI enable organizations to quickly and easily gain more intelligent insights from unstructured and structured data. This book will teach you how to make use of the many AI features available today in Power BI to quickly and easily enrich your data and gain better insights into patterns that can be found in your data. You’ll begin by understanding the benefits of AI and how it can be used in Power BI. Next, you’ll focus on exploring and preparing your data for building AI projects and then progress to using prominent AI features already available in Power BI, such as forecasting, anomaly detection, and Q&A. Later chapters will show you how to apply text analytics and computer vision within Power BI reports. This will help you create your own Q&A functionality in Power BI, which allows you to ask FAQs from another knowledge base and then integrate it with PowerApps. Toward the concluding chapters, you’ll be able to create and deploy AutoML models trained in Azure ML and consume them in Power Query Editor. After your models have been trained, you’ll work through principles such as privacy, fairness, and transparency to use AI responsibly. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned when and how to enrich your data with AI using the out-of-the-box AI capabilities in Power BI.

Really enjoyed reading this. As an experienced BI professional with limited practical knowledge of AI I thought it served as a great introduction to AI concepts, as well as a very handy guide for how to start leveraging available Azure AI services with my BI tool of choice, Power BI.

Artificial Intelligence is a crucial topic if you want to run your organization efficiently. In the end, all decisions are (supposed to be) made on data and numbers. And that's exactly what this book is covering. I was new to the technical details of AI, and a beginner in PowerBI - what this book thaught me, is how to leverage the strengths of both worlds and bring them together. Mary-Jo, having a background in neuroscience, managed to combine all aspects of today's interests in Artificial Intelligence, together with the power of reporting using PowerBI. A great read for anyone who's interested in learning more about how to correctly gather data, analyze it by using Artifical Intelligence services, and distilling business-ready reports and data results out of it. Valid for both beginners in the domain, as well as already more advanced users in the technical domain who want to spice up their knowledge.

I like how this book takes all related concepts and covers the definitions first in a high-level explanation. It is important for me to see a full picture and where different concepts fit at first before drilling down to the meat of the development. It does feel a little lightweight at first but if you are the one who gets bored (or even scared) with just a mention of AI, underlying Math and never thought about applicable aspect of all these terms, this book is the one to spark interest and help to believe that math is not THAT hard to learn, but most important it gives you a concept-level applicable advices when creating your ML solution with most popular tools like PowerBi and engines available in Azure cloud. I definitely recommend this book to anyone developing AI/ML solution in the cloud, anyone who collaborates with Data Scientists and feels they speak foreign language and anyone who's scared of math without a fear to see endless code examples.

Today's hottest topic in decision-making is artificial intelligence.Many people are enthusiastic about the possibilities and insights it can give, but many don't know where to begin. This is where this book enters the picture.It explains you how to use AI in your personal decision-making process using Power BI by starting with the basics of what AI and associated technologies are.It's written so well that it feels as if the author is holding your hand and helping you through the process of going from simple but generic out-of-the-box Power BI solutions to creating and implementing custom solutions geared towards your specific business needs.

The book contains passages to help you enter the combined world of AI and Power BI. It is not primarily an instructional text but instead a presentation of an understanding of the issue, accompanied by examples. The book needs to be taken in less light because Power BI is evolving dynamically and pushing its AI capabilities forward. I appreciate the chapter Integrating an Interactive Question and Answering App into Power BI, which excited me to understand the problem. I would love to share more detail from the chapter, but I don't want to deprive you of it. But I warn you that if you have known Power BI for some time, the first chapters will not be very lively because it is more of a repetition. But repetition is the mother of wisdom.
