Microsoft HackATL 2018
The Challenge
Your team’s mission today is to learn more about AI capabilities through hands on practice by completing challenges in two key areas: Cognitive Services and Bots.
Your team will start by building a simple C# application that allows you to ingest pictures from your local drive, then invoke the Computer Vision API to analyze the images and obtain tags and a description. Once you have this data, you will process it to pull out the details we need, and store it all into Cosmos DB.
You'll continue by build an Azure Search Index (Azure Search is our PaaS offering for faceted, fault tolerant search) on top of Cosmos DB, then you’ll build a Bot Framework bot to query it. Finally, you'll extend this bot with Language Understanding (LUIS) to automatically derive intent from your queries and use those to direct your searches intelligently.
