Which is the correct custom skill you need to use to connect to an Azure Machine Learning model?

To successfully connect to an Azure Machine Learning model, the appropriate custom skill to utilize is the Microsoft.Skills.Custom.AmlSkill. This skill is specifically designed to facilitate seamless integration with Azure Machine Learning models, enabling users to invoke machine learning endpoints directly within the cognitive search pipeline.

By leveraging the AmlSkill, you can easily input your data into an Azure ML model for inference and retrieve predictions or insights. This functionality allows for a more tailored AI solution that can incorporate complex model outputs into broader applications, such as enhancing search results or generating analytical insights from unstructured data.

The other skills mentioned serve different purposes. For instance, the ImageAnalysisSkill is tailored for processing and analyzing images, while the WebApiSkill is designed for connecting to external web services through API calls. The TextAnalysisSkill focuses specifically on analyzing and extracting insights from text data, making each of these options suitable for their respective use cases, but not for directly interfacing with Azure Machine Learning models.
