5 Free Courses for Microsoft AI Engineers

Hello, Habr! Last year, we did a series of selection articles of free courses. The community liked it, and we decided to make three more selections, though already on slightly different topics. As before, we will not spoil in advance for whom exactly the following collections will be, we are waiting for your options in the comments (suddenly someone can guess by the stars). Well, today - free courses for artificial intelligence engineers. Join now!

All articles from the series


Articles from the last series




1.


A general overview of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The modules are intended for users with little knowledge in the field of computer science and statistics. You will learn about the basic concepts of AI and learn how to use custom machine learning solutions with free and simple tools. You will learn simple but effective ways in which AI data experts make predictions about objects, about people, and about the future. After that, interesting and complex topics that you may have heard about, such as neural networks, computer vision, deep learning, and uncontrolled learning, will be examined.

In total, the course will require about 4 hours of your time to study 5 modules.

2. Creating smart bots in Azure Bot


User interaction with applications via chat using text, pictures or speech can be implemented using bots. This can be a simple “question-answer” dialogue or a complex bot that allows people to interact with services in a “smart” way, using pattern matching, state tracking and artificial intelligence methods that are well integrated with existing services. Learn how to create a smart chatbot by integrating QnA Maker and LUIS.

The course will take about 3 hours.

3. Text analysis with Azure Cognitive Language Services


Learn how to use Cognitive Language Services to analyze text, determine intentions, discover adult topics, and process natural language queries.

Course Modules:

  • Classification and moderation of text using Azure Content Moderator;
  • Adding dialogue logic to applications using Intelligent Speech Recognition Service (LUIS);
  • Tracking the tonality of the dialogue in the text using the text analysis API.

4. AI-based border device engineer course


AI technologies, cloud technologies, and border devices deployed as containers in CICD mode allow you to transform entire industries by creating ecosystems with self-learning opportunities for a specific industry, covering the entire value chain. Our task is to create such a set of templates and methodologies for deploying AI on edge devices in the context of the cloud. In this training scheme, you will receive the following information:

  • Information about creating solutions using the Internet of things and the cloud;
  • Overview of deploying IoT solutions on edge devices
  • Information on the implementation of models for border devices using containers;
  • Learn how to use DevOps for edge devices.

The course was developed in conjunction with the University of Oxford.

5. Image Processing and Classification with Azure Cognitive Vision Services


Microsoft Cognitive Services provides built-in features for using computer vision in applications. Learn how to use Cognitive Vision Services to detect faces, tag and classify images, and identify objects.

Course Modules:

  • Identify faces and emotions using the computer vision API in Azure Cognitive Services;
  • Image processing using the computer vision service;
  • Classification of images using the user visual recognition service;
  • Assessment of requirements for the implementation of the User Visual Recognition API.
