What is this?

ML.NET is Microsoft’s machine-learning framework for .NET — train and run models in C# with MLContext.

Why should you care?

AIPredict stays in the .NET stack: same language as ASP.NET Core APIs.

See it live — copy this example

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

using Microsoft.ML;

var ml = new MLContext(seed: 1);
Console.WriteLine($"ML.NET ready: {ml.GetType().Name}");

What happened?

  • Create one MLContext (optionally seeded).
  • Most AIPredict services hold it as a singleton for training tools and load models for inference.

Practice next

  1. dotnet new console -n AIPredict.Lab
  2. dotnet add package Microsoft.ML
  3. New MLContext and run.
  4. Print ml.BinaryClassification trainer list length.
  5. Try seed: null vs 1.

Remember

ML.NET = ML in C#. MLContext is the entry point. Same stack as ASP.NET.

AIPredict.Lab first MLContext

Devs confirm Microsoft.ML installs.

Outcome: Ready for IDataView lessons.
