Microsoft has recently released a set of Cognitive Services that make it easy to add powerful machine intelligence to your applications with just a few lines of code. Since these services are hosted in the cloud, they can easily be consumed by applications running on any platform. I'll also describe some practical scenarios on how these technologies can be used. We've all seen at least one movie or TV show where a bad guy is magically identified using software and a single photo or frame of video. While things in the real world don't work exactly the way you see in the movies, the Face API provides technology that can be used to power this type of software.
