Microsoft machine learning story and why it is changing the company's future

Abstract:

Microsoft started to work on machine learning a few years ago. We incubated a few solutions based in our online platforms and some internal systems. Today we are making them generally available to the public and changing all our products to incorporate intelligent services. In this talk we will look at the past and what influenced the current Microsoft positioning and also look at the road ahead and what will be the future Microsoft services and products.
