NimbusML enables data scientists to use ML.NET to train models in Azure Machine Learning or anywhere else they use Python. NimbusML provides state-of-the-art ML algorithms, transforms and components, aiming to make them useful for all developers, data scientists, and information workers and helpful in all products, services and devices. The components are authored by the team members, as well as numerous contributors from MSR, CISL, Bing and other teams at Microsoft. NimbusML is interoperable with scikit-learn estimators and transforms, while adding a suite of highly optimized algorithms written in C++ and C# for speed and performance. The trained machine learning model can be used in a .NET application with ML.NET. This presentation will outline the features of NimbusML and provide a notebook-based demonstration using Azure Notebooks. This presentation is the third of four related to ML.NET and Automated ML. The presentation will be recorded with video posted to this YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/2ZybKwI

7. About
NimbusML
• NimbusML provides state-of-the-art ML
algorithms, transforms and components, aiming
to make them useful for all developers, data
scientists, and information workers and helpful
in all products, services and devices.
• The components are authored by the team
members, as well as numerous contributors
from MSR, CISL, Bing and other teams at
Microsoft.
• nimbusml is interoperable with scikit-learn
estimators and transforms, while adding a suite
of highly optimized algorithms written in C++
and C# for speed and performance.

8. NimbusML
Features
NimbusML trainers and transforms support
the following data structures for the fit() and
transform() methods:
• numpy.ndarray
• scipy.sparse_cst
• pandas.DataFrame.
NimbusML also supports streaming from files
without loading the dataset into memory,
which allows training on data significantly
exceeding memory using FileDataStream.
• With FileDataStream, NimbusML is able to handle up to
billion features and billions of training examples for
select algorithms
