Machine Learning in .NET

ML.NET provides state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) algorithms, transforms, and components, and powers ML pipelines in many Microsoft products. Developed and used internally at Microsoft for over 5 years, the goal is to make ML.NET useful for all developers, data scientists, and information workers and helpful in all products, services, and devices.

Build Status

Coming soon

Installation

You can install ML.NET NuGet from the CLI using:

dotnet add package Microsoft.ML

From package manager:

Example

Simple snippet to train a model for sentiment classification (See the complete sample here):

var pipeline = new LearningPipeline();
pipeline.Add(new TextLoader<SentimentData>(dataPath, separator: ","));
pipeline.Add(new TextFeaturizer("Features", "SentimentText"));
pipeline.Add(new FastTreeBinaryClassifier());
var model = pipeline.Train<SentimentData, SentimentPrediction>();

Infer the trained model for predictions:

SentimentData data = new SentimentData
{
    SentimentText = "Today is a great day!"
};

SentimentPrediction prediction = model.Predict(data);

Console.WriteLine("prediction: " + prediction.Sentiment);
