Nishith Pathak Artificial Intelligence for .NET: Speech, Language, and Search
1. Getting Started with AI Basics
Nishith Pathak 1

Kotdwara, Dist. Pauri Garhwal, India
Imagine creating a software so smart that it will not only understand human languages but also slang and subtle variations of these languages, such that your software will know that Hello, computer! How are you doing? and wassup dude? mean the same thing.
While youre at it, why not add into your software the ability to listen to a human speak and respond appropriately?
  • User : Computer, whats my schedule like today?
  • Software : You have quite a packed day today, with back-to-back meetings from 10 am to 1:30 pm and again from 3 pm to 7 pm.
And as if that would not make your software smart enough, why not also add the ability to have human-like conversations?
  • User : Computer, did I miss the match? Whats the score?
  • Software : Its 31 minutes into the Barcelona vs. Real Madrid football match. Your favorite team, Barcelona, has not scored yet. The score is 0-1.
  • User : Holy cow! Who scored from Real?
  • Software : Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal in the 10th minute.
  • User : Thats not looking good. Whats his goals tally this season?
  • Software : So far, Ronaldo has scored 42 goals for his club and 13 for his country.
  • User : Thats impressive. I hope poor Messi catches up soon.
  • User : Computer, thanks for the update.
  • Software : You are welcome.
  • Software : Dont forget to check back for the score after half an hour. Based on ball possession and shots-on-target stats, theres a 73% chance of Barcelona scoring in the next 20 minutes.
Wouldnt these capabilities make your software smart and intelligent ? As a .NET developer, how can you make your software as smart as Microsofts Cortana, Apples Siri, or Googles Assistant? You will see in a bit.
After completing this chapter, you will have learned the following about AI:
  • Truth vs. fiction
  • History and evolution
  • Microsoft and AI
  • Basic concepts
    • Cognitive, machine learning, deep learning, NLP, NLU, etc.
    • Illustrative diagrams and references (where possible)
  • Microsoft Cognitive Services
    • talk about all five cognitive groups
  • How you can use it in your own software
  • The future and beyond
Truth vs. Fiction
What comes to your mind when you hear the term artificial intelligence ? Scary robots? A topic of sophisticated research? Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Terminator movie? Counter-Strike bots?
Note
Counter-Strike is a first-person shooter video game by Valve. It is based on a strategic battle between terrorists, who want to blow up places with bombs, and counter-terrorists, who want to stop the terrorists from causing havoc. Although this multiplayer game is usually played among human players, it is possible for a single human player to play with and against the bots.
Bots are AI-enabled, programmed, self-thinking virtual players that can fill in for human players when they are not available. Bots are a common feature in video games, and sometimes they are just referred to as the games AI.
