Microsoft Cognitive Services Labs

The sample code in this repository is for use in hands-on exercises in various cognitive services.

Setup on Gitpod

Gitpod ready-to-code

Once the docker is setup and the envoirnment is available, use the terminal to run the following command:

jupyter notebook --ip 0.0.0.0 --no-browser --allow-root

Setup on Visual Studio

The exercises are designed to be completed in Visual Studio Online. To complete the labs, you'll need the following:

  • A Microsoft Azure subscription. If you don't already have one, you can sign up for a free trial at https://azure.microsoft.com.
  • A Visual Studio Codespace based on the setuc/azure-cognitive-labs code repository. This provides a hosted instance of Visual Studio Code, in which you'll be able to run the notebooks for the lab exercises.

To set up a Visual Studio Codespace:

  1. Open Visual Studio Online in a new browser tab; and if prompted, sign in using the Microsoft account associated with your Azure subscription.
  2. If you don't already have a Visual Studio Codespaces billing plan, create one. Then create a codespace with the following settings:
    • Codespace Name: A name for your codespace - for example, ai-fundamentals.
    • Git Repository: setuc/azure-cognitive-labs
    • Instance Type: Standard (Linux) 4 cores, 8GB RAM
    • Suspend idle Codespace after: 30 minutes
  3. Wait for the codespace to be created. This will take around 3 minutes. You'll see the following things happen:
    • A script will initialize and configure your codespace.
    • A list of notebook (.ipynb) files will appear in the pane on the left.
    • After a few minutes, a file named z REFRESH NOW! will appear at the bottom of the list of files. This is your indication that everything has been installed.
  4. After the z REFRESH NOW! file has appeared, refresh the web page to ensure all of the required extensions are loaded and set the color scheme to a light background. Then you're ready to start.
  5. After you have refreshed the web page, you can close the Welcome panes and delete the z REFRESH NOW file if you want to. You can also change the color scheme to suit your preference - just click the ⚙ icon at the bottom left and select a new Color Theme. A light color theme is recommended to make it easier to read the Python code in the notebooks.
