Week #11's Wednesday Evening Training: Control your Raspberry Pi using LUIS on Azure (part 2)

This session was the second part of two sessions where we got an introduction on the Azure Cognitive Speech Services, combined with LUIS, .NET Core and the Raspberry Pi. Read my first post on this topic for a quick introduction of the topics involved and a quick "how to" to get started yourself.

So how did we proceed this evening?

This evening, we continued with our lab. Some of us experimented using Android based mobile phones for speech input. Also, we did some experiments controlling other hardware than LED's.  There was lot's of discussion and brainstorming on other applications and alternative implementations like MQTT and NodeRED. Far more than we could handle in just one evening. Therefore, we'll continue our labs in the next Wednesday Evening Training on IoT (that will be a "klusavond" on april 3rd).

Thanks Ronnie Jongenelen, for sharing your knowledge with us! Great stuff!

Next week's Wednesday Evening Training

Next week we will continue our Quantum computing sessions. We'll have a lot of topics to discuss, e.g. complexity theory, Cryptography, optimization and machine learning (quantum neural nets). Looking forward to this!
