Mastering LLM-Based AI Applications

Join us to explore Azure Machine Learning prompt flow, a cutting-edge development tool for AI applications powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). With the rapid global growth in LLM-based AI applications, this session will demonstrate how Azure Machine Learning prompt flow streamlines prototyping, experimenting, iterating, and deploying these applications.

We will delve into creating executable flows linking LLMs, prompts, and Python tools, debugging and sharing flows, and performing large-scale testing. Learn how to unleash the full potential of LLMs for your application by deploying a real-time endpoint. This session is ideal for those seeking a user-friendly tool to simplify their LLM-based AI application development process. Experience the power of streamlined development with Azure Machine Learning prompt flow today.

Unlocking the Potential of AI

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the world we live in, and Microsoft is at the forefront of this exciting revolution. Join us for a session where we'll explore the latest innovation from Microsoft on AI.

Let's explore the latest technologies, including the latest advancements with Large Language Models from OpenAI. We'll also discuss the importance of developing AI in a way that benefits society as a whole.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn and discover how you can leverage AI to drive innovation in your own organization.

Making sense of unstructured data with AI

Do you have a lot of data in unreadable formats such as PDFs, images and audio files and want the ability to extract this rich information, analyze it and act on it?

In this session, you'll learn how to combine a set of Cognitive Services like Azure Cognitive Search to make sense of this data in a short amount of time. We'll discuss AI concepts, like the ingest-enrich-explore pattern, skillsets, leveraging cognitive services, knowledge bases and connecting all these elements together to build an intelligent search experience into an applications.

Building accessible experiences with AI

AI can be a game changer for people with disabilities. Already we’re witnessing this as people with disabilities expand their use of computers to hear, see and reason with impressive accuracy.
At Microsoft we’ve been putting to work stronger solutions such as real-time speech-to-text transcription, visual recognition services and predictive text functionality. AI advances like these offer enormous potential by enabling people with vision, hearing, cognitive, learning, mobility disabilities and mental health conditions do more in three specific scenarios: employment, modern life and human connection.

In this session we dive into the tools and services that are available for you to create solutions that are more accessible and inclusive.

The session will be packed with demos, use cases and lot's of tips and tricks.

Join this session and learn how you can help building the future of disability inclusion and accessibility.

Build and deploy PyTorch models with Azure Machine Learning

With machine learning becoming more and more an engineering problem the need to track, work together and easily deploy ML experiments with integrated CI/CD tooling is becoming more relevant then ever.

In this session we take a deep-dive into Azure Machine Learning, a cloud service that you can use to track as you build, train, deploy, and manage models. We use the Azure Machine Learning Python SDK to manage the complete life cycle of a PyTorch model, from managing the data, to train the model and finally run it into a production Kubernetes cluster.

At the end of this session you have a good grasp of the technological building blocks of Azure machine learning services and train a PyTorch model on scale.
