This video explores the technology behind Cortana, Bing.com, and other Microsoft products that is making all of this possible, a platform that combines Bing’s massive investments towards indexing the real world, with speech recognition, language and entity understanding, and stream processing that, taken together, make Bing more helpful, personal and intelligent. Instead of you having to monitor the 50 thousand flights in the air today, spiking news coverage of your favorite sports team or the 70 thousand cars on the interstate blocking your commute, the Bing platform processes these events in near real-time, and delivers to you information you need at exactly the right time.
