About this Event

As part of Microsoft’s AI at Scale effort, we are leaning heavily on recent developments in large Transformer-based language models to improve the relevance quality of search results. This allows search engines to go beyond keyword matching to searching using the semantic meaning behind words and content. At Ignite (March 2021) we announced that Microsoft is bringing semantic search models developed by Microsoft Bing into Azure Cognitive Search. 

This talk will discuss the details of why transformer models are so effective at NLP tasks and give a deep dive into how we built and transferred the models to Azure.
