Azure AI Service for Language is a cloud-based service that provides advanced natural language processing over raw text and includes four main functions: sentiment analysis, key phrase extraction, language detection, and entity recognition. Language understanding is one of the services that can be used to create a custom language model that can train and deploy a bot.

Organizations use custom language models to provide a more natural interaction with their bots. It helps organizations create a model that is specific to their domain and can be used to serve their customers better.

In this hands-on lab, you will be working with Azure Language Studio to create a custom language model along with custom entities and intents. You will also train and deploy the model to test the functionality of Language Services.
