This blog post proposes a methodology to disambiguate misspelled entities by comparing the search retrieval performance with different custom search analyzers in a search engine.
A scenario commonly encountered in public safety and justice is the need to collect and index digital data recovered from devices, so that investigating officers can perform evidence-based analysis. We recently built an advanced evidence analysis platform that uses Azure AI services for automated labelling of media and documents.
With distributed tracing handled by Azure Functions, Azure Event Hubs, and Azure Application Insights behind the scenes, Azure Application Insights provides useful monitoring visualizations of the system that helped us easily understand system performances and troubleshoot failures.
Mocking cloud service dependencies in modern applications is essential for independent unit testing. We show how to mock all relevant parts of the Azure DevOps Extension SDK, Azure DevOps Extension API as well as other external APIs to create meaningful unit tests for Azure DevOps UI Extensions and reach full code coverage.
This blog post is about using the Microsoft Academic Graph and NLP to build a personalized recommender system to suggest new scientific publications to researchers maintaining Systematic Literature Reviews.
In this blog post we cover the process, requirements, and the design of an evaluation framework for NLP and Information Extraction. We cover the reasoning behind such a framework, and discuss its implementation with examples from a Named Entity Recognition evaluation point of view.
Hospitals around the world regularly work towards improving the health of their patients as well as ensuring there are enough resources available for patients awaiting care. During these unprecedented times with the COVID-19 pandemic, Intensive Care Units are having to make difficult decisions at a greater frequency to optimize patient health outco...
Earlier this year, Dataiku and Microsoft joined forces to add extra flexibility to DSS on HDInsight, and also to allow Dataiku customers to attach a persistent edge node on an HDInsight cluster – something which was previously not a feature supported by the most recent edition of Azure HDInsight. Â
We worked with Aveva to build 3DToolkit, a toolkit for creating cloud-based 3D experiences that securely stream to low-powered devices using WebRTC.
