Microsoft Launches Cognitive Services Based On Project Oxford and Bing (venturebeat.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Microsoft has announced updates to its portfolio of machine learning tools at its Build conference in San Francisco. Previously, they had fallen under the Project Oxford name, but now they are being rebranded to Microsoft Cognitive Services. According to Microsoft senior program manager Cornelia Carapcea, there are now 22 APIs available in Cognitive Services. There are also prices for the new services, along with APIs made available from Microsoft's Bing search division. Developers can try out these services for free.
Fascinating, that a "no-ID" complains about "low-ID" ones. Incidentally, my impression was far more than the ones criticizing anti-MS articles are mostly high-ID posters?
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
Amidst all these MS stories is the single, underlying one: MS had a developers conference in which many Wizards of Oz performed their tricks, and many journalists excitedly published those single items, and many Slashdotters submitted them here.
In an ideal world all the mini-stories would get summarized and synthesized into one big master story, but that's not how Slashdot operates.
I deny that I have not avoided attaining the opposite of that which I do not want.
Slowly, at their pace, but fundamentally better than other hype oriented stuff.
Agree, IBM's "Blue Brain" project has been mapping the brain of a rodent at the molecular level, one microscope slide at a time, for over a decade. The wealth of raw data that this has produced for medical researchers is astonishing, in particular it has been a great gift for neuroscientists. The project is a genuine "public good" and deserves more of our attention than a racist twitter bot.
