What is Azure Machine Learning and why is it important: 4 Examples

Azure Machine learning — getting a system to teach itself from lots of data rather than simply following preset rules — actually powers the Microsoft software you use everyday.

Examples

1. Machine learning enables Clutter in Office 365 to determine with uncanny accuracy which email
2. Makes it easier to touch the right menu on a Windows tablet with your finger
3. Helps OneNote figure out your handwriting.
4. If you’re selling handbags, dresses, shoes, or other fashion items on eBay, you might see much better sales overseas because automatic translations of listings are more accurate — and available in all 45 languages Azure ML supports.
