We will provide a dataset, jump-start workflows, and final solutions for the proposed tasks, and of course data visualization and ML experts. Before the event, we will share the link to download the workshop material (jump-start workflows and instructions). This is a free event, open to everybody who is interested. Food and drinks will be provided.

Low code and no code are the latest industry buzzwords, but if vendors can truly abstract away the complexity of difficult tasks like building machine learning models, it could help mainstream technologies that are currently out of reach of most business users. That's precisely what Microsoft is aiming to do with its latest Power Platform announcements today. The company tried to bring that low-code simplicity to building applications last year when it announced PowerApps. Now it believes by combining PowerApps with Microsoft Flow and its new AI Builder tool, it can allow folks building apps with PowerApps to add a layer of intelligence very quickly. It starts with having access to data sources, and the Data Connector tool gives users access to more than 250 data connectors.

We are excited to share with you that Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) 2.1 has added support for model evaluation on UWP applications. This means you can harness the power of deep learning in your Windows apps delivered via the Windows Store! Read on to find out how can infuse your apps with the power of AI. Cloud-connected devices can perform operations locally or delegate them to the cloud. The virtually unlimited compute power of the cloud makes it a good choice for running tasks that need significant compute power but don't require low latency.

Today, we are pleased to announce the public preview of the Cortana Skills Kit which allows developers to easily create intelligent, personalized experiences for Cortana. Our vision for Cortana has always been to create a digital personal assistant that's available to users across all their devices, whenever and wherever they may need an extra hand to be more productive and get things done. With the new Cortana Skills Kit, developers can join in delivering that vision and reach millions of Cortana users across platforms including Windows 10, Android, iOS and soon on even more devices and form factors -- like Xbox, the Harman Kardon Invoke smart speaker and inside cars and mixed reality devices. To build a Cortana skill, developers can create their bot's conversational logic using the Microsoft Bot Framework, and publish it to the new Cortana Channel within the Bot Framework, bringing speech capabilities to skills. Developers can understand users' natural input and build custom machine-learned language models through LUIS.ai, and add intelligence with the power of Cognitive Services.

What exactly are Cognitive Services and what are they for? Cognitive Services are a set of machine learning algorithms that Microsoft has developed to solve problems in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The goal of Cognitive Services is to democratize AI by packaging it into discrete components that are easy for developers to use in their own apps. Web and Universal Windows Platform developers can consume these algorithms through standard REST calls over the Internet to the Cognitive Services APIs. So why is it worthwhile to provide easy access to AI? Anyone watching tech trends realizes we are in the middle of a period of huge AI breakthroughs right now with computers beating chess champions, go masters and Turing tests.
