Machine Learning for C# Developers: Build smart applications with ML.NET (MEAP V03)

Create production quality machine learning models in C# without leaving the .NET ecosystem.

Machine Learning for C# Developers teaches you how to build powerful machine learning (ML) models using your C# and .NET skills—no Python required! You’ll learn how to use the innovative ML.NET framework to build a virtual assistant that can recognize objects, classify software errors, estimate salaries from a job description, and more.

In Machine Learning for C# Developers you’ll learn:

Machine learning fundamentals
Supervised, unsupervised, and reinforced model training
Build and train models with C# code
Automating the machine learning process


Machine learning is a powerful tool for forecasting trends, modeling customer behaviors, and identifying other important patterns in your data that will help you make more informed decisions. Recent advances in deep learning make it possible to build powerful ML-driven tools that can do everything from personalized product recommendations to image recognition, to text and code generation. For data scientists and developers, powerful frameworks like ML.NET and automated machine learning (AutoML) systems can greatly enhance your productivity in building, training, and deploying even the most advanced ML models.
about the book
