    Hello @jackson

    Thanks for reaching out to us, I can understand your confusion here. To add more information to Jordi said - The question answering Authoring API is used to automate common tasks like adding new question answer pairs, as well as creating, publishing, and maintaining projects/knowledge bases.

    To conclude, you can think it is the process to prepare the database and the train the model.

    You can refer to the Authoring API document to see - [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/language-service/question-answering/how-to/authoring

    Jordi mentioned it as LUIS but now LUIS is rebranded under Language Service which you are mentioning.

    I hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Yutong

    In Azure Cognitive Services, "authoring" refers to the process of creating and training a Language Understanding (LUIS) model. LUIS is a service that allows developers to build natural language understanding into applications by creating custom models that can understand user intentions and entities from text input. The authoring process involves creating intents, which represent the actions or tasks that the user wants to perform, and entities, which represent the specific objects or pieces of information that the user is referring to. Once these are defined, developers can provide labeled examples of text to train the model to understand the user's intent and entities.
