Chapter 7: Integrating Machine Learning in .NET 5

Developing machine learning (ML) solutions is a highly sought-after skill. But it is not limited to data scientists only. Traditional .NET application developers are increasingly being asked to integrate ML algorithms into their client-facing apps. ML.NET makes it very easy for .NET developers to leverage the power of ML in .NET applications, without going through the learning curve of another language such as Python or R.

This chapter is all about the ML.NET API to give you a taste of how to use ML in .NET. In this chapter, we will familiarize ourselves with the ML concepts and how ML.NET can help us build ML models and services, and then consume these from traditional .NET web and desktop projects. Finally, this chapter will point you to additional resources, should you be interested in building more advanced machine learning-based solutions on the .NET platform.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
