Editor's Notes

  • #4 .NET is a great tech stack for building a wide variety of applications. There is ASP.NET for web development, Xamarin for mobile development and with ML.NET we are trying to make .NET great for Machine Learning.
  • #5 Even though we just recently released ML.NET at Build this year, ML.NET has been used at Microsoft heavily for over a decade by iconic MS products. Bing Ads uses ML.NET for add-click predictions Excel uses ML.NET for chart recommendations PowerPoint uses ML.NET for Design Ideas Windows10 uses ML.NET for Windows Defender

  • #21 ML.NET provides tooling that makes it easy to use. In particular, 2 really valuable tools are: AutoML and Model Builder What is AutoML? It is an API that accelerates model development for you. A lot of developers do not have the experience required to build or train Machine Learning models. With AutoML, the process of finding the best algorithm, is automated! Model Builder on the other hand provides an easy to understand visual interface to build, train, and deploy custom machine learning models. Prior machine learning expertise is not required. It also supports AutoML Rememeber depending on your data, giving you the error of each of the models and you can then decide which model to use. Most people just use the model with the least error. And we will see it in action soon.
  • #23 To demonstrate what AutoML is, let’s consider that we want to provide a service that allows users to predict taxi fare before they book or call a taxi. How can we build this feature/service?
  • #24 A data scientist’s job is to find the best algorithm that will do taxi fare prediction. Let’s says we have a dataset that contains information such as trip distance, trip time, number of passengers, time of day of the trip etc. A data scientist will spend a lot of time trying to decide which of these pieces of information is important when predicting taxi fare. In ML, there are so many algorithms and are generally referred to as trainers, for example linear regression, convolutional neural network etc The data scientist will try one algorithm at a time, picking features as he desires, and then wait to see how the model performs. In this case, this model only scored 30% based on number of bad predictions it made.
