Creating Better User Experiences with Microsoft Cognitive Services

Computer scientists have been captivated by the potential of artificial intelligence to create human like experiences with computers for decades. Although we are not at the point of true human intelligence, we have seen great advances in vision, speech, language understanding and knowledge recall that will produce better human computer experiences. This started with investments in speech recognition and natural language processing (NLP) for a variety of uses. Microsoft demonstrated this technology 15 years ago at CES and since then has continued to drive these innovations into products. Having computers mimic human behavior at scale has augmented our lives in useful ways.
