What is this?

Data pipelines extract, clean, and land training tables before ML.NET Fit.

Why should you care?

AIPredict quality models start with reliable ETL, not only trainers.

See it live — copy this example

Use a .NET console or Web API project with Microsoft.ML. Run dotnet run after pasting.

// SQL → CSV/Parquet landing → LoadFromTextFile
Console.WriteLine("extract fraud txs → land train.csv → schema check");

What happened?

  • Validate null rates and label balance.
  • Fail the job if schema drifts.
  • Keep train/test cut by time when needed.

Practice next

  1. Export a landing file.
  2. Schema check script.
  3. Fail on missing Label.
  4. Add null % report.
  5. Partition by day.

Remember

ETL before Fit. Schema gates. Time-aware splits.

AIPredict landing gate

Train job refuses bad CSV.

Outcome: Broken extracts never train.
