Microsoft revealed a little more about Cortana Analytics and how it is going to use machine learning to revolutionise business intelligence and productivity via its Azure cloud.

Joseph Sirosh is the corporate vice president of the Information Management and Machine Learning (IMML) team in the Cloud and Enterprise group at Microsoft. He is also a maths nut and perhaps a geek. Almost all of what he said was several levels above my pay grade so I will do my best not to disappoint TWire’s erudite readers (and keep it light).

“I did my PHD in 1995 in neural networks. That led to my working on fraud detection [machine learning] software for a major credit card gateway and that led to joining Microsoft where I can pursue my passion of machine learning,” he said.

“Maths applies to data. Software is eating the world (apologies to Marc Andreessen for that saying) but data is drowning the world,” he said.

“30 years ago data was almost all analogue, now it iP addresss attached almost all analogue, now its all digital and it has an pursue my passionm s all digital and much of it has an IP address attached. The intelligence you can derive is amazing,” he said.

The problem with big data, lots of data, Petabytes, Exabytes or the stuff is that it presents an enormous challenge to store and analyse, especially in real time. Microsoft and its Azure Machine Learning and the Azure Gallery is a good place to find out more.

Joseph spoke about the  ‘connected dairy cow’ , a project from Fujitsu in Japan. Pedometers were attached to each cow and the bovine walking characteristics analysed via Azure to predict estrus. Not only did the data reveal the best insemination time and improved the pregnancy rate by 67% it helped predict the resultant gender of the offspring. The results were so good that Fujitsu expects this to be rolled out to 500,000 cows soon.

Joseph said that with Azure cloud developers could build immensely complex systems in just a few days and introduced two plucky Adelaide undergraduates who hope to move the highly manual and inaccurate vineyard yield prediction models to the cloud using Azure.

Harry Lucas, 20, Liam Ellul, 23 are part of the Seer Insights team. They described an intelligent system that assists vineyard staff, growers and wineries in improving the accuracy of their yield estimates. The key is to use Azure to find patterns and insights from both the current data and from historical data and shifting that from an analysis of what’s happened in the past to an accurate prediction of what might occur in the future.

Joseph commented that what Seer had done is harness computing power, machine learning and analytics that were not available even a few years ago.

Then we heard from Max Valente from Thought studio a software development company he began in Sydney in 2011 as a think tank developing technology to solve business problems and create business opportunities.

Max developed the first virtual wardrobe where a person stands in front of a screen and tries on virtual clothes. The latest venture (it has two sites working as proof of concept) uses sensors and devices like Kinect to map out a shoppers experience in a store.

“Kinect gives us the gender, approximate age and time someone enter and exits the store. We can marry that with things like the weather, promotional activity and more to build a profile. We then use sensors connected to Raspberry Pi to show where they go in the store, where they linger, what they try on – we collect a lot of data,” Max said. One advantage is immediately apparent – identifying shoplifters by facial and other ‘secret’ Kinect recognition.

“The goal is to enhance a shopper experience, understand their journey, to lay out stores more logically, to know what’s hot and what’s not, and of course to increase sales,” said Max.

“The entire system is only possible due to Microsoft’s Azure cloud, analytics, storage and tools,” Max added.

So finally to Cortana

Cortana is a digital assistant that can be personal (as in running on a PC or smartphone) or used for business. The former relies on getting to know you well and the latter on getting to know the company well – and keeping all secrets.

Cortana analytics is too broad a subject to cover here but Joseph demonstrated a medical support practice that uses Cortana as the natural language interface between nurses/doctors and patients in a call centre environment. The result has been much better care, better analysis, easier follow up and less need to hospitalise.

Joseph said that Cortana could develop perceptual intelligence to benefit any business – helping them to get closer to customers, knowing more about what they do, and what customers want etc.

He finished with a haiku:

The cloud turns hardware into software

The cloud turns software into services

The cloud turns data into intelligence

The cloud turns intelligence into action

I then walked outside into Sydney’s beautiful sunshine – not a [visible] cloud in sight! The cloud turns into rain, rain turns into …

最新消息， Larry Page和 Sergey Brin成立新公司！！！ 公司的名字是Alphabet！Google将成为新公司下属的一个全资子公司！ 印度籍的Pichai出任Google的CEO！Alphabet的业务将覆盖互联网和生命科学！！！

下面说Larry呵Sergy给社会的公开信：

As Sergey and I wrote in the original founders letter 11 years ago, “Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one.” As part of that, we also said that you could expect us to make “smaller bets in areas that might seem very speculative or even strange when compared to our current businesses.” From the start, we’ve always strived to do more, and to do important and meaningful things with the resources we have.

We did a lot of things that seemed crazy at the time. Many of those crazy things now have over a billion users, like Google Maps, YouTube, Chrome, and Android. And we haven’t stopped there. We are still trying to do things other people think are crazy but we are super excited about.

We’ve long believed that over time companies tend to get comfortable doing the same thing, just making incremental changes. But in the technology industry, where revolutionary ideas drive the next big growth areas, you need to be a bit uncomfortable to stay relevant.

Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it cleaner and more accountable. So we are creating a new company, called Alphabet. I am really excited to be running Alphabet as CEO with help from my capable partner, Sergey, as President.

What is Alphabet? Alphabet is mostly a collection of companies. The largest of which, of course, is Google. This newer Google is a bit slimmed down, with the companies that are pretty far afield of our main internet products contained in Alphabet instead. What do we mean by far afield? Good examples are our health efforts: Life Sciences (that works on the glucose-sensing contact lens), andCalico (focused on longevity). Fundamentally, we believe this allows us more management scale, as we can run things independently that aren’t very related.

Alphabet is about businesses prospering through strong leaders and independence. In general, our model is to have a strong CEO who runs each business, with Sergey and me in service to them as needed. We will rigorously handle capital allocation and work to make sure each business is executing well. We’ll also make sure we have a great CEO for each business, and we’ll determine their compensation. In addition, with this new structure we plan to implement segment reporting for our Q4 results, where Google financials will be provided separately than those for the rest of Alphabet businesses as a whole.

This new structure will allow us to keep tremendous focus on the extraordinary opportunities we have inside of Google. A key part of this is Sundar Pichai. Sundar has been saying the things I would have said (and sometimes better!) for quite some time now, and I’ve been tremendously enjoying our work together. He has really stepped up since October of last year, when he took on product and engineering responsibility for our internet businesses. Sergey and I have been super excited about his progress and dedication to the company. And it is clear to us and our board that it is time for Sundar to be CEO of Google. I feel very fortunate to have someone as talented as he is to run the slightly slimmed down Google and this frees up time for me to continue to scale our aspirations. I have been spending quite a bit of time with Sundar, helping him and the company in any way I can, and I will of course continue to do that. Google itself is also making all sorts of new products, and I know Sundar will always be focused on innovation—continuing to stretch boundaries. I know he deeply cares that we can continue to make big strides on our core mission to organize the world’s information. Recent launches like Google Photos and Google Now using machine learning are amazing progress. Google also has some services that are run with their own identity, like YouTube. Susan is doing a great job as CEO, running a strong brand and driving incredible growth.

Sergey and I are seriously in the business of starting new things. Alphabet will also include our X lab, which incubates new efforts like Wing, our drone delivery effort. We are also stoked about growing our investment arms, Ventures and Capital, as part of this new structure.

Alphabet Inc. will replace Google Inc. as the publicly-traded entity and all shares of Google will automatically convert into the same number of shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights. Google will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet. Our two classes of shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq as GOOGL and GOOG.

For Sergey and me this is a very exciting new chapter in the life of Google—the birth of Alphabet. We liked the name Alphabet because it means a collection of letters that represent language, one of humanity’s most important innovations, and is the core of how we index with Google search! We also like that it means alpha‑bet (Alpha is investment return above benchmark), which we strive for! I should add that we are not intending for this to be a big consumer brand with related products—the whole point is that Alphabet companies should have independence and develop their own brands.

We are excited about…

Getting more ambitious things done.
Taking the long-term view.
Empowering great entrepreneurs and companies to flourish.
Investing at the scale of the opportunities and resources we see.
Improving the transparency and oversight of what we’re doing.
Making Google even better through greater focus.
And hopefully… as a result of all this, improving the lives of as many people as we can.

What could be better? No wonder we are excited to get to work with everyone in the Alphabet family. Don’t worry, we’re still getting used to the name too!
