21. In short, the best answer is that Artificial
Intelligence is the broader concept of machines
being able to carry out tasks in a way that we
would consider “smart”.
What is A.I.Definitions
22. Machine Learning is a current application of AI
based around the idea that we should really just
be able to give machines access to data and let
them learn for themselves.
What is Machine
Learning?
Definitions
24. Think about how you learned to do long division -- maybe you
learned to take the denominator and divide it into the first
digits of the numerator, then subtracting the subtotal and
continuing with the next digits until you were left with a
remainder. Well, that’s an algorithm, and it’s the sort of thing
we can program into a computer, which can perform these
sorts of calculations much, much faster than we can.

32. A Neural Network is a computer system designed to
work by classifying information in the same way a
human brain does. It can be taught to recognize, for
example, images, and classify them according to
elements they contain. Essentially it works on a
system of probability – based on data fed to it, it is
able to make statements, decisions or predictions
with a degree of certainty. The addition of a feedback
loop enables “learning” – by sensing or being told
whether its decisions are right or wrong, it modifies
the approach it takes in the future.

33. Deep learning is AI that uses complex
algorithms to perform tasks in domains where
it actually learns the domain with little or no
human supervision. In essence, the machine
learns how to learn.

34. Federated Learning enables mobile phones to
collaboratively learn a shared prediction
model while keeping all the training data on
device, decoupling the ability to do machine
learning from the need to store the data in the
cloud.

41. LUI
SLanguage Understanding Intelligent Services (LUIS) brings
the power of machine learning to your apps
One of the key problems in human-computer interactions is the ability of the computer to understand what a person wants.
LUIS is designed to enable developers to build smart applications that can understand human language and accordingly react
to user requests. With LUIS, a developer can quickly deploy an HTTP endpoint that will take the sentences sent to it and
interpret them in terms of their intents (the intentions they convey) and entities (key information relevant to the intent).
By using LUIS web interface, you can create an application, with a set of intents and entities that are relevant to your
application’s domain. For example, in a travel agent app, a user might say an utterance like "Book me a ticket to Paris". In this
utterance, there is the intention to "BookFlight" and "Paris" is the entity. Intention or the intent can be defined as the desired
action and usually contains a verb, in this case "book". The entity is a relevant information of a specific data type, in this case
"Paris" is the location entity.
Once your application is deployed and traffic starts to flow into the system, LUIS uses active learning to improve itself. In the
active learning process, LUIS identifies the utterances that it is relatively unsure of, and asks you to label them according to
intent and entities. This has tremendous advantages; LUIS knows what it is unsure of, and asks for your help in the cases
which will lead to the maximum improvement in system performance. LUIS learns quicker, and takes the minimum amount of
your time and effort. This is active machine learning at its best.
42. Emotion
API
Microsoft Emotion API, which allows you to build more personalized apps
with Microsoft’s cutting edge cloud-based emotion recognition algorithm.
The Emotion API beta takes an image as an input, and returns the confidence across a set of emotions for each face in the
image, as well as bounding box for the face, from the Face API. The emotions detected are happiness, sadness, surprise,
anger, fear, contempt, disgust or neutral. These emotions are communicated cross-culturally and universally via the same
basic facial expressions, where are identified by Emotion API.
43. Face
API
Microsoft Face API, a cloud-based service that provides the most advanced face
algorithms. Face API has two main functions: face detection with attributes and face
recognition.
Face rectangle (left, top, width and height) indicating the face location in the image is returned along with each detected face.
Optionally, face detection extracts a series of face related attributes such as pose, gender, age, head pose, facial hair, glasses
and emotion.
