The code in the following snippet demonstrates the simplest ML.NET application. This example constructs a linear regression model to predict house prices using house size and price data. In your real-life applications, your data and model will be much more complex.
using System;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Data.DataView;
using Microsoft.ML;
using Microsoft.ML.Data;
class Program
{
public class HouseData
{
public float Size { get; set; }
public float Price { get; set; }
}
public class Prediction
{
[ColumnName("Score")]
public float Price { get; set; }
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
MLContext mlContext = new MLContext();
// 1. Import or create training data
HouseData[] houseData = {
new HouseData() { Size = 1.1F, Price = 1.2F },
new HouseData() { Size = 1.9F, Price = 2.3F },
new HouseData() { Size = 2.8F, Price = 3.0F },
new HouseData() { Size = 3.4F, Price = 3.7F } };
IDataView trainingData = mlContext.Data.LoadFromEnumerable(houseData);
// 2. Specify data preparation and model training pipeline
var pipeline = mlContext.Transforms.Concatenate("Features", new[] { "Size" })
.Append(mlContext.Regression.Trainers.Sdca(labelColumnName: "Price", maximumNumberOfIterations: 100));
// 3. Train model
var model = pipeline.Fit(trainingData);
// 4. Make a prediction
var size = new HouseData() { Size = 2.5F };
var price = mlContext.Model.CreatePredictionEngine(model).Predict(size);
Console.WriteLine($"Predicted price for size: {size.Size*1000} sq ft= {price.Price*100:C}k");
// Predicted price for size: 2500 sq ft= $261.98k
}
}
