Book Description

In our daily work which is predominantly Information Technology, the necessity of machine learning is everywhere and demanded by all developers, programmers, and analysts. But why C# for machine learning? The answer is most of the Microsoft enterprise applications are written in C# such as Visual Studio, SQL Server, Photoshop and various mobile applications, Unity platform, Microsoft Azure, StackOverflow and so on.

This book develops the intuitive understanding of various concepts, techniques of machine learning and various available machine learning tools through which they can add intelligent features such as sentiment detection, speech recognition, language understanding, smart search and so on to C# and .NET applications.

Using this book, you will implement supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms and will be getting well equipped to create better predictive models. You will learn numerous techniques and algorithms right from a simple linear regression, decision trees, SVM to advanced concepts such as artificial neural networks, autoencoders, and reinforcement learning.

By the end of this book, the readers will develop a machine learning mindset and can leverage the tools, techniques, and packages of C# in building smart, predictive and real-world business applications
