Advanced Language AI Applications | Ayush Rathi | AI - 102 Bootcamp
Entertainment
Introduction
Good afternoon everyone! I'm Mes Mataru, PR head at UPS CSA Student Chapter, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to the sixth session of our Azure AI Engineer Associate Bootcamp. Today, we will dive into advanced language AI applications, building upon the basics we have previously covered. This session aims to help you leverage AI to understand and process natural language at an advanced level.
We will explore advanced concepts and applications of language AI, ranging from language understanding to text analytics. You will learn how to build smarter applications using Azure’s AI Services. To guide us through this exciting journey, we’re honored to have Ayush Rathi, a Senior Engineering Manager at Walmart Global Tech. Ayush has extensive experience in AI and Cloud Solutions and will share invaluable insights into some of the most advanced applications of language AI.
Understanding Advanced Language Models
Ayush started by recapping the previous session, discussing the importance of responsible AI and the features of Azure's AI speech services, particularly the Speech Studio. Some of the capabilities highlighted include real-time speech-to-text, transcription, analytics, and live chat functionalities.
Ayush showed us a practical demonstration using the Azure Speech Service. Through a series of steps, he illustrated how the Speech Studio works, allowing users to record audio that is then converted into text in real-time. By speaking in one language, users can also access translation services that convert spoken language into another language, emphasizing accessibility and a broader audience reach.
Importance of Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Natural Language Processing (NLP) emerged as a vital technology, allowing organizations to process large volumes of voice and text data coming from various communication channels, including emails and social media. Ayush emphasized the significance of NLP in automating tasks such as analyzing customer feedback or powering chatbots for automated customer service.
He addressed several use cases of NLP, including:
- Specific user interactions with chatbots.
- Sensitive data redaction in industries such as healthcare and insurance.
Ayush also elaborated on how NLP software is utilized to automatically analyze and derive meaning from large datasets, enabling faster and more efficient interaction with customers.
Hands-on Experience in Azure
Continuing the hands-on session, Ayush guided attendees on how to utilize the Azure Language Studio for text analysis and classification. He walked through creating a language resource in Azure, emphasizing the importance of monitoring responsible AI practices.
Features of Azure Language Services
Ayush discussed several features that Azure’s Language Studio provides, including:
- Named Entity Recognition: Identifying unique names concerning people, places, and events.
- Sentiment Analysis: Interpreting emotions conveyed through textual data.
- Custom Text Classification: Learning how to classify texts, especially for applications like movie data.
The audience learned about creating a Q&A service within the Azure environment, seamlessly integrating different features for a comprehensive understanding of NLP.
Integrating Azure Services
Ayush demonstrated how to integrate Azure Natural Language services with other Azure offerings. He provided an example of connecting NLP with Azure Cosmos DB for storing healthcare data and publishing chat services as web apps using Azure App Service.
Furthermore, the session included an overview of Azure OpenAI Studio, showcasing the use of generative models like ChatGPT for building applications that intelligently respond to user queries.
As the session drew to a close, Ayush answered various questions from the audience, reinforcing the practicality and application of the concepts discussed.
The audience was encouraged to actively engage with Azure services, utilize the knowledge gained, and participate in upcoming sessions, with specifics on ongoing challenges and opportunities to win prizes.
Thank you all for being part of this insightful journey into advanced language AI applications!
