ML.NET is a free software machine learning library for the C#, F# and VB.NET programming languages.[4][5][6] The preview release of ML.NET included transforms for feature engineering like n-gram creation, and learners to handle binary classification, multi-class classification, and regression tasks.[7] Additional ML tasks like anomaly detection, recommendation system, and other approaches like deep learning will be included in future versions.[8]

Machine Learning

Along with the rollout of the ML.NET preview Microsoft made available AI tutorials to help developers understand techniques needed to work with the framework. [9] [10] [11]

Support for the Open Source Onnx model format was introduced from build 0.3 in ML.NET. The release included other notable enhancements such as Factorization Machines, LightGBM, Ensembles, LightLDA transform and OVA. [12] The ML.NET integration of TensorFlow is enabled from the 0.5 release. A full roadmap of planned features have been made available on the official GitHub repo. [13]

Microsoft Research announced the popular Infer.NET model-based machine learning framework used for research in academic institutions since 2008 has been released open source and is now part of the ML.NET framework. [14] The Infer.NET framework utilises probabilistic programming to describe probabilistic models which has the added advantage of interpretability. The Infer.NET namespace has since been changed to Microsoft.ML.Probabilistic consistent with ML.NET namespaces. [15]

The Python programming language is popular with people from a Data Science background. In build 0.7 Microsoft introduced NimbusML the experimental Python bindings for ML.NET. This enables users to train and use machine learning models in Python. It was made open source similar to Infer.NET in the previous release.[16]
