Too Long; Didn't Read
Earlier this year (May 2018) Microsoft announced <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/net/learn/apps/machine-learning-and-ai/ml-dotnet" target="_blank">ML.NET</a>, an open source and cross-platform machine learning framework built for .NET developers. It is exciting news to be able to integrate custom machine learning with .NET/C# applications. Although ML.NET is still in preview release version 0.5.0 at the time of writing, you can test drive it to explore the potential power of the framework.
