2. why should I care about AI and ML?
As a developer,

3. Some problems are difficult to solve using traditional algorithms and
procedural programming.

10. Get started with Machine Learning
Prepare Data Build & Train Evaluate
Azure Databricks Azure Machine Learning
Quickly launch and scale Spark on demand
Rich interactive workspace and notebooks
Seamless integration with all Azure data
services
Broad frameworks and tools support:
TensorFlow, Cognitive Toolkit, Caffe2, Keras,
MxNET, PyTorch
In the cloud – on the edge

12. Windows ML uses ONNX models

13. Azure Machine Learning Services
gives you an end-to-end
solution to prepare data and
train your model in the Cloud.
WinMLTools converts existing
models from CoreML, scikit-
learn, LIBSVM, and XGBoost
Azure Custom Vision makes it
easy to create your own image
models - https://customvision.ai/
Azure AI Gallery curates models
for use with Windows ML -
https://gallery.azure.ai/models
How do I get ONNX models to use in my
application?

14. 1. Developers can focus on their data and
their scenarios, using Windows ML for
model evaluation
2. Enables using ML models trained with a
diverse set of toolkits
3. Hardware acceleration gets fast evaluation
results across the diversity of the entire
Windows device ecosystem.
