Getting Started with Microsoft AI & ML Services
Example: Using Azure Cognitive Services (Conceptual)
Here's a glimpse of how you might call a Cognitive Service API:
using Azure.AI.TextAnalytics;
using Azure;
// Authenticate and create a client
var credentials = new AzureKeyCredential("YOUR_API_KEY");
var endpoint = new Uri("YOUR_ENDPOINT");
var client = new TextAnalyticsClient(endpoint, credentials);
// Text to analyze
string text = "Microsoft is a leading technology company.";
var documents = new List { text };
// Analyze sentiment
var response = await client.AnalyzeSentimentAsync(documents);
foreach (AnalyzeSentimentResult sentimentResult in response.Value)
{
Console.WriteLine($" Document text: \"{text}\"");
Console.WriteLine($" Sentiment: {sentimentResult.DocumentSentiment}");
Console.WriteLine($" Positive score: {sentimentResult.ConfidenceScores.Positive:0.00}");
Console.WriteLine($" Neutral score: {sentimentResult.ConfidenceScores.Neutral:0.00}");
Console.WriteLine($" Negative score: {sentimentResult.ConfidenceScores.Negative:0.00}");
}
