Question 34
Scenario: You have been contracted by Wayne Enterprises, a company owned by Bruce Wayne with a market value of over twenty-seven million dollars. Bruce founded Wayne Enterprises shortly after he created the Wayne Foundation and he became the president and chairman of the company.
Bruce has come to you because his IT team is evaluating ways to connect Power Platform apps to external services to perform complex activities.

Correct answer: B
Explanation
Yes, it is possible to create a canvas app that scans and parses documents using Azure Cognitive Services and then adds the appropriate information to Dynamics 365 Sales.
Cognitive Services provides machine learning capabilities to solve general problems such as analyzing text for emotional sentiment or analyzing images to recognize objects or faces. You don't need special machine learning or data science knowledge to use these services.
Cognitive Services is a group of services, each supporting different, generalized prediction capabilities. The services are divided into different categories to help you find the right service.

Use Cognitive Services when you:
Can use a generalized solution.
Access solution from a programming REST API or SDK.
Use another machine-learning solution when you:
Need to choose the algorithm and need to train on very specific data.
What is machine learning?
Machine learning is a concept where you bring together data and an algorithm to solve a specific need. Once the data and algorithm are trained, the output is a model that you can use again with different data. The trained model provides insights based on the new data.
The process of building a machine learning system requires some knowledge of machine learning or data science.
Machine learning is provided using Azure Machine Learning (AML) products and services.
What is a Cognitive Service?
A Cognitive Service provides part or all of the components in a machine learning solution: data, algorithm, and trained model. These services are meant to require general knowledge about your data without needing experience with machine learning or data science. These services provide both REST API(s) and language-based SDKs. As a result, you need to have programming language knowledge to use the services.
How are Cognitive Services and Azure Machine Learning (AML) similar?
Both have the end-goal of applying artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance business operations, though how each provides this in the respective offerings is different.
Generally, the audiences are different:
Cognitive Services are for developers without machine-learning experience.
Azure Machine Learning is tailored for data scientists.
How is a Cognitive Service different from machine learning?
A Cognitive Service provides a trained model for you. This brings data and an algorithm together, available from a REST API(s) or SDK. You can implement this service within minutes, depending on your scenario. A Cognitive Service provides answers to general problems such as key phrases in text or item identification in images.
Machine learning is a process that generally requires a longer period of time to implement successfully. This time is spent on data collection, cleaning, transformation, algorithm selection, model training, and deployment to get to the same level of functionality provided by a Cognitive Service. With machine learning, it is possible to provide answers to highly specialized and/or specific problems. Machine learning problems require familiarity with the specific subject matter and data of the problem under consideration, as well as expertise in data science.
A.
True. It is possible to create a canvas app that utilizes Azure Cognitive Services to scan and parse documents. Azure Cognitive Services offer various AI capabilities, including text recognition, which can be used to extract information from documents. Once the information is extracted, it can be integrated with Dynamics 365 Sales to add the relevant data.
B. True. It is possible to create a canvas app that utilizes Azure Cognitive Services to scan and parse documents. Azure Cognitive Services offer various AI capabilities, including text recognition, which can be used to extract information from documents. Once the information is extracted, it can be integrated with Dynamics 365 Sales to add the relevant data.
