Microsoft Cognitive services

The Microsoft Cognitive Services APIs are a suite of several general-purpose Machine Learning APIs that are made available in Microsoft Azure and can be used for any number of applications. These APIs simplify the whole process by abstracting away the complex machine learning models and the operationalization aspects so that users can focus on real business problems. There are several categories of Machine Learning APIs and the Knowledge category includes the Recommendations API.


Recommendation API

The Recommendations API exposes a general-purpose recommender system capability that is wrapped in an easy-to-use representational state transfer (REST) API. Our goal is to enable several business processes that involve customer recommendations to use this functionality.

The following illustration shows the steps in the process of consuming recommendations by using the capabilities in AX 2012 R3.
