Artificial Intelligence for .NET: Speech, Language, and Search

Building Smart Applications with Microsoft Cognitive Services APIs

By: Nishith Pathak

Get introduced to the world of artificial intelligence with this accessible and practical guide. Build applications that make intelligent use of language and user interaction to better compete in today’s marketplace. Discover how your application can deeply understand and interpret content on the web or a user’s machine, intelligently react to direct user interaction through speech or text, or make smart recommendations on products or services that are tailored to each individual user. With Microsoft Cognitive Services, you can do all this and more utilizing a set of easy-to-use APIs that can be consumed on the desktop, web, or mobile devices. Developers normally think of AI implementation as a tough task involving writing complex algorithms. This book aims to remove the anxiety by creating a cognitive application with a few lines of code. There is a wide range of Cognitive Services APIs available. This book focuses on some of the most useful and powerful ways that your application can make intelligent use of language. Artificial Intelligence for .NET: Speech, Language, and Search will show you how you can start building amazing capabilities into your applications today. What You'll Learn Understand the underpinnings of artificial intelligence through practical examples and scenarios Get started building an AI-based application in Visual Studio Build a text-based conversational interface for direct user interaction Use the Cognitive Services Speech API to recognize and interpret speech Look at different models of language, including natural language processing, and how to apply them in your Visual Studio application Reuse Bing search capabilities to better understand a user’s intention Work with recommendation engines and integrate them into your apps Who This Book Is For Developers working on a range of platforms, from .NET and Windows to mobile devices. Examples are given in C#. No prior experience with AI techniques or theory is required.

Practical Microsoft SOA Implementation

By: Nishith Pathak

Pro WCF 4.0: Practical Microsoft SOA Implementation is a complete guide to Windows Communication Foundation from the service-oriented architecture (SOA) perspective, showing you why WCF is important to service-oriented architecture and development. This book provides deep insight into the functionality of WCF, which shipped with .NET 4.0-like service discovery, routing service, simplified configuration, and other advanced features. Included in this title are informative examples that will aid the reader in understanding and implementing these important additions. This book also covers the unified programming model, reliable messaging, security, and the peer-to-peer programming model. You'll also learn how to move your current .NET remoting and web service applications to WCF, and how to integrate those applications with WCF 4. This book offers genuine insight into solving real enterprise problems using WCF and .NET 4.0.

Practical Microsoft SOA Implementation

By: Amit Bahree,Dennis Mulder,Shawn Cicoria,Chris Peiris,Nishith Pathak

Part of Microsoft’s radical new WinFX API is the foundation code-named Indigo, now commonly known as Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). WCF technology allows web developers to create services that communicate and interoperate with each other and other programs and applications. This text is real-world oriented, offering a practical WCF programming model, and chapters on creating a WCF web service; hosting and consuming WCF services; deploying and managing WCF services; reliable messaging and queue management, and WCF Security. As there are currently few books available on WCF, this book will be useful to WCF developers, who tend to be early adopters.

IoT, AI, and Blockchain for .NET

Building a Next-Generation Application from the Ground Up

By: Nishith Pathak,Anurag Bhandari

Create applications using Industry 4.0. Discover how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities can be enhanced using the Internet of things (IoT) and secured using Blockchain, so your latest app can be not just smarter but also more connected and more secure than ever before. This book covers the latest easy-to-use APIs and services from Microsoft, including Azure IoT, Cognitive Services APIs, Blockchain as a Service (BaaS), and Machine Learning Studio. As you work through the book, you’ll get hands-on experience building an example solution that uses all of these technologies—an IoT suite for a smart healthcare facility. Hosted on Azure and networked using Azure IoT, the solution includes centralized patient monitoring, using Cognitive Services APIs for face detection, recognition, and tracking. Blockchain is used to create trust-based security and inventory management. Machine learning is used to create predictive solutions to proactively improve quality of life. By the end of the book, you’ll be confident creating richer and smarter applications using these technologies. What You’ll Learn Know the technologies underpinning Industry 4.0 and AI 2.0 Develop real-time solutions using IoT in Azure Bring the smart capabilities of AI 2.0 into your application using a simple API call Host and manage your solution on Azure Understand Blockchain as a Service Capture and analyze data on the fly Make predictions using existing data Who This Book Is For Novice and intermediate .NET developers and architects who want to learn what it takes to create a modern or next-generation application
