Artificial Intelligence with Power BI

Chapter 1: Introducing AI in Power BI

Everyone wants to be working with data. Organizations are keen on relying more on data-driven decisions instead of intuition-driven decisions. To be driven by data, we need to extract insights from data. Thankfully, Power BI is a great tool to visualize and share what the data tells us. To better understand what trends and learning we can derive from data, we can use techniques from the field of data science.

Data science and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly popular approaches to extracting insights from data. Among other things, this is because these tools allow us to work with unstructured data, which we couldn't work with before. And this helps us to more quickly find complicated trends and patterns in the data.

In this book, we will focus on using Microsoft Power BI as a data exploration and visualization tool. And we will take some parts of the Azure cloud to give us the power to train models and integrate this with Power BI.

But first, let's start with some of the groundwork. We need to understand what AI is, to properly scope our projects and run them successfully. We need to know what is possible and how we go from a simple dataset to an AI model before we get into the details of each step of the process. That is why we will first dive into the following questions:

  • What do we expect from a data analyst?
  • What is AI?
  • Why should we use AI in Power BI?
  • What are our options for AI in Power BI?

Let's start with covering the basics.

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.

Who is this book for?

This artificial intelligence BI book is for data analysts and BI developers who want to explore advanced analytics or artificial intelligence possibilities with their data. Prior knowledge of Power BI will help you get the most out of this book.

What you will learn

  • Apply techniques to mitigate bias and handle outliers in your data

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.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:
