Chapter 10: Infusing Your Apps with Machine Learning Using WinML

Artificial intelligence is, without a doubt, one of the most relevant topics in the technology ecosystem, which unlocks new and exciting opportunities to automate tasks that, in the past, simply weren't possible, from recognizing objects in a picture or a video feed to understanding a user's behavior.

These scenarios are powered by machine learning, a technology that enables you to train a model (which is stored in a file) with a set of data. For example, you can train a model to recognize a specific object in a picture. Once you have a model, by identifying patterns, the algorithm will try to apply the same logic used during the training to any picture you provide as input.

The cloud is the technology that has enabled such a big growth of machine learning; thanks to its computing power capabilities, you can train a machine learning model with your data in hours instead of days or weeks. Or you can use...
