Overview of this book

Machine learning (ML) is widely used in many industries such as science, healthcare, and research and its popularity is only growing. In March 2018, Microsoft introduced ML.NET to help .NET enthusiasts in working with ML. With this book, you’ll explore how to build ML.NET applications with the various ML models available using C# code. The book starts by giving you an overview of ML and the types of ML algorithms used, along with covering what ML.NET is and why you need it to build ML apps. You’ll then explore the ML.NET framework, its components, and APIs. The book will serve as a practical guide to helping you build smart apps using the ML.NET library. You’ll gradually become well versed in how to implement ML algorithms such as regression, classification, and clustering with real-world examples and datasets. Each chapter will cover the practical implementation, showing you how to implement ML within .NET applications. You’ll also learn to integrate TensorFlow in ML.NET applications. Later you’ll discover how to store the regression model housing price prediction result to the database and display the real-time predicted results from the database on your web application using ASP.NET Core Blazor and SignalR. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to confidently perform basic to advanced-level machine learning tasks in ML.NET.

Using ML.NET with ASP.NET Core

Now that we have an idea of how to create a production-grade .NET Core console application, in this chapter, we will deep dive into creating a fully functional ASP.NET Core Blazor web application. This application will utilize an ML.NET binary classification model to make file classifications on Windows executables (Portable Executable (PE) files), in order to determine whether the files themselves are either clean or malicious. Furthermore, we will explore breaking our application code into a component-based architecture using a .NET Core library to share between our web application and the console application that will train our model. By the end of the chapter, you should have a firm grasp of designing and coding a production-grade ASP.NET Core Blazor web application with ML.NET.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
