ML.NET Workflow

FoundationsModelsNLP & advancedMLOps

Foundations · 1 — Context & data · ~6 min · Module 1: ML.NET Foundations

What is this?

The standard workflow: load → transform → train → evaluate → save → load → predict.

Why should you care?

AIPredict teams share this checklist so labs and production stay aligned.

See it live — copy this example

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

var model = pipeline.Fit(train);
var metrics = ml.BinaryClassification.Evaluate(model.Transform(test));
ml.Model.Save(model, train.Schema, "models/fraud.zip");
var loaded = ml.Model.Load("models/fraud.zip", out var schema);
var engine = ml.Model.CreatePredictionEngine<TxRow, FraudPred>(loaded);

What happened?

  • Never skip Evaluate.
  • Save schema with the model.
  • Inference only needs Load + PredictionEngine.

Practice next

  1. Fit on train.
  2. Evaluate on test.
  3. Save zip.
  4. Print metrics.AreaUnderRocCurve.
  5. Predict two sample txs.

Remember

Load→train→eval→save→predict. Evaluate always. Zip includes transforms.

AIPredict fraud.zip workflow

Lab produces a reusable model file.

Outcome: API can load the same zip.
