5 books on Cognitive API [PDF]
November 29, 2024 | 28 |
These books cover various aspects of cloud cognitive APIs, including natural language understanding, speech recognition, and computer vision. They describe practical questions of designing, implementing, and optimizing APIs that leverage AI to enable human-like interactions with machines.
1. Practical Guide to Azure Cognitive Services: Leverage the power of Azure OpenAI to optimize operations, reduce costs, and deliver cutting-edge AI solutions
2023 by Chris Seferlis, Christopher Nellis, Andy Roberts
So here you are, a brave soul venturing into the bewildering and occasionally incomprehensible world of Azure Cognitive Services, armed with little more than this trusty guide. Inside, you'll stumble upon everything from translating customer grunts into actionable insights to teaching machines to actually recognize what a form looks like. In a journey that starts with simple categorizations (because, yes, they are essential), you’ll delve into how Azure’s vaguely omniscient AI manages to predict things like an experienced psychic, improve customer experiences with laser-like precision and somehow streamline a supply chain that’s generally held together by good intentions and duct tape. By the end, you'll be a veritable wizard in weaving these Cognitive Services into your operations, optimizing this, cutting costs on that and perhaps even impressing the higher-ups with your newfound prowess. Consider this the definitive guide for any earthling with ambitions of harnessing OpenAI to transform routine drudgery into a realm of smooth, shiny automation—without needing to panic.

2. Azure AI Services at Scale for Cloud, Mobile, and Edge
2022 by Simon Bisson, Mary Branscombe, Chris Hoder, Anand Raman
In a universe where clouds don’t rain, edges aren’t sharp and AI services quietly plot to run your business better than you ever could, this book emerges as your indispensably clever companion. Penned by an ensemble cast of brainy humans—Anand Raman, Chris Hoder, Simon Bisson and Mary Branscombe—it takes you on a whirlwind journey through the vast Azure AI cosmos. From the fluffy expanses of the cloud to the zippy quickness of mobile, web browsers and the mysteriously hyped "edge," you’ll learn how to sprinkle intelligence into applications like a pro magician sprinkling stardust. Along the way, you’ll wrestle AI models into submission, fine-tune them until they sing (or at least talk, see and understand) and deploy them with all the finesse of an intergalactic engineer. You’ll even dabble in the alchemy of transfer learning, turning ordinary AI into linguistic, visual and auditory wizards, all while taming the Power Platform to solve actual business problems. A bit of cloud know-how is all you need to embark on this eccentric quest to turn your digital dreams into AI-driven reality.

3. AI as a Service: Serverless machine learning with AWS
2020 by Peter Elger, Eoin Shanaghy
Peter Elger and Eoin Shanaghy present a lively romp through the world of serverless AI with Amazon’s wizard-like cloud infrastructure. Ever wonder how to make a chatbot from virtually nothing? Or have a voice assistant serenade you with data-driven wisdom? This book starts you off with humble projects, letting you slowly transform into a serverless AI conjurer. With an arsenal of serverless templates at your side, you’ll be scaling data pipelines and tackling AI service headaches faster than you can say “cloud magic.”

4. Google Cloud AI Services Quick Start Guide: Build Intelligent Applications with Google Cloud AI Services
2018 by Arvind Ravulavaru
Picture this: you're a web developer or data professional, staring at a tangle of code and thinking, "If only I had the computational equivalent of a wizard's wand." Enter Google Cloud AI Services Quick Start Guide—a book that doesn’t just hand you the wand but walks you through waving it around without accidentally summoning eldritch horrors. Assuming you’ve at least waved at the Google Cloud Platform before, this guide gleefully drags you through the magical realms of machine learning without forcing you to actually become a machine-learning sorcerer. From wrangling the Vision and Video Intelligence APIs to charming conversational interfaces with Speech Recognition, Cloud NLP and Translation APIs, you’ll find yourself building Angular 5 MEAN stack applications so smart they might one day unionize. By the end, you’ll have a web app imbued with enough intelligence to almost forgive you for your comments in the code.

5. Artificial Intelligence for .NET: Speech, Language, and Search: Building Smart Applications with Microsoft Cognitive Services APIs
2017 by Nishith Pathak
For anyone who's ever wished their app could talk back, understand what you meant (not what you said) and then sell you something you didn't know you wanted, Nishith Pathak’s guide is your new best friend. With Microsoft Cognitive Services APIs in hand, you'll soon be building smart applications that can hold a decent conversation while secretly boosting your company’s bottom line. This isn’t just AI—this is AI with manners, capable of speech, language and making you look good with minimal effort. Just a few lines of code stand between you and impressing your boss with an app that seems almost too clever for its own good.
