The document discusses ML.NET, a machine learning framework from Microsoft. Some key points: - ML.NET can be used to build custom machine learning models and uses pre-built models like TensorFlow. - It is open source, cross-platform (runs on Windows, Linux and macOS), and has been proven at scale within Microsoft products like Windows 10, PowerPoint and Excel. - ML.NET uses pipelines to load and prepare data, extract features, train models, evaluate models and deploy models for consumption.
