KNOWLEDGE CHECK 1

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad classification of computing that allows a software system to perceive its environment and take action that maximizes its chance of successfully achieving its goals. A goal of AI is to create a software system that is able to adapt or learn something on its own without being explicitly programmed to do it.

One approach to AI is a technique that uses existing data to train and test a model, then apply that model to new data to forecast future behaviors, outcomes, and trends. What is this referred to as?

2. There are three primary AI offerings from Microsoft Azure, each of which is designed for a specific audience and use case. Which of the following features are offered by Azure Cognitive Services?

Select all options that apply.

3. What service can you use to build a virtual agent that can understand and reply to questions just like a human?

4. Your organization requires the development of an app that will predict future outcomes based on private historical data. Which Azure service do you think is the most appropriate to use in this scenario?

5. Your organization requires the development of an app that can understand the content and meaning of images, video, audio, or translate text into a different language. Which Azure services do you think is the most appropriate to use in this scenario?

6. Your organization requires the development of an app that will include both a virtual agent that interfaces with humans through natural language and understand the content and meaning of images, video, audio. What two Azure Services do you think are most suitable for developing this app?

Select all options that apply.
