See it live — copy this example
Use a .NET console or Web API project with Microsoft.ML. Run dotnet run after pasting.
var engine = ml.Model.CreatePredictionEngine<UserProduct, ProductScore>(model);
var candidates = catalog.Where(p => !purchased.Contains(p.Id));
var ranked = candidates
.Select(p => new { p.Id, Score = engine.Predict(new UserProduct { UserId = uid, ProductId = p.Id }).Score })
.OrderByDescending(x => x.Score).Take(10);
What happened?
- Score user–product pairs, filter already-owned, apply stock/ margin rules, then return top-N.
- Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.
Practice next
- Load product MF model.
- Score candidate pairs.
- Filter purchased and OOS.
- Boost high-margin items +5%.
- Cap same-category duplicates.
Remember
Score → filter → rank. Business rules last. Top-N for UI slots.
