Machine Learning for .NET

ML.NET is a cross-platform open-source machine learning framework which makes machine learning accessible to .NET developers while offering a production high quality.

ML.NET allows .NET developers to develop/train their own models and infuse custom machine learning into their applications, using .NET, even without prior expertise in developing or tuning machine learning models while having a powerful end-to-end ML platform covering data loading from dataset files and databases, data transformations and many ML algorithms.

ML.NET was originally developed in Microsoft Research and evolved into an Microsoft internal framework over the last decade being used across many product groups in Microsoft like Windows, Bing, PowerPoint, Excel and more.

ML.NET enables machine learning tasks like classification (for example: support text classification, sentiment analysis), regression (for example, price-prediction) and many other ML tasks such as anomaly detection, time-series-forecast, clustering, ranking, etc.

ML.NET also brings .NET APIs for training models, using models for predictions, as well as the core components of this framework such as learning algorithms, transforms, and ML data structures.

Getting started with machine learning by using ML.NET

If you are new to machine learning, start by learning the basics from this collection of resources targeting ML.NET:

ML.NET Documentation, tutorials and reference

Please check our documentation and tutorials.

See the API Reference documentation.

Sample apps

We have a GitHub repo with ML.NET sample apps with many scenarios such as Sentiment analysis, Fraud detection, Product Recommender, Price Prediction, Anomaly Detection, Image Classification, Object Detection and many more.

In addition to the ML.NET samples provided by Microsoft, we're also highlighting many more samples created by the community showcased in this separated page ML.NET Community Samples

ML.NET videos playlist at YouTube

There a list of short videos each one focusing on a particular single topic of ML.NET at the ML.NET videos playlist in YouTube.

Operating systems and processor architectures supported by ML.NET

ML.NET runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS using .NET Core, or Windows using .NET Framework.

64 bit is supported on all platforms. 32 bit is supported on Windows, except for TensorFlow and LightGBM related functionality.

Release notes

Check out the release notes to see what's new.

Using ML.NET packages

First, ensure you have installed .NET Core 2.1 or later. ML.NET also works on the .NET Framework 4.6.1 or later, but 4.7.2 or later is recommended.

Once you have an app, you can install the ML.NET NuGet package from the .NET Core CLI using:

dotnet add package Microsoft.ML

or from the NuGet package manager:

Install-Package Microsoft.ML

Or alternatively, you can add the Microsoft.ML package from within Visual Studio's NuGet package manager or via Paket.

Daily NuGet builds of the project are also available in our MyGet feed:

Code examples

Here is a snippet code for training a model to predict sentiment from text samples. You can find complete samples in samples repo.

var dataPath = "sentiment.csv";
var mlContext = new MLContext();
var loader = mlContext.Data.CreateTextLoader(new[]
	{
		new TextLoader.Column("SentimentText", DataKind.String, 1),
		new TextLoader.Column("Label", DataKind.Boolean, 0),
	},
	hasHeader: true,
	separatorChar: ',');
var data = loader.Load(dataPath);
var learningPipeline = mlContext.Transforms.Text.FeaturizeText("Features", "SentimentText")
		.Append(mlContext.BinaryClassification.Trainers.FastTree());
var model = learningPipeline.Fit(data);

Now from the model we can make inferences (predictions):

var predictionEngine = mlContext.Model.CreatePredictionEngine<SentimentData, SentimentPrediction>(model);
var prediction = predictionEngine.Predict(new SentimentData
{
    SentimentText = "Today is a great day!"
});
Console.WriteLine("prediction: " + prediction.Prediction);

A cookbook that shows how to use these APIs for a variety of existing and new scenarios can be found here.
