Did you know you can train and use machine learning inside of your .NET applications without needing detailed knowledge of machine learning algorithms? In this talk we'll explore the ML.NET AutoML API capabilities and how accessible machine learning in C# really is as we write C# code to solve machine learning problems.

We'll focus heavily on the automatic algorithm selection features of AutoML in ML.NET and talk about the various tasks it can achieve before drilling deeper to apply AutoML to solve a multi-class classification problem. We'll train a machine learning model and have it predict video game ESRB ratings for a few hypothetical games provided by the audience, then host this new model in a .NET 6 minimal Web API project in ASP .NET Core.

We'll also explore evaluating model performance, ideal training times, and how trained models can be saved and loaded for use in production applications, as well as some places you can go to learn more about ML.NET and machine learning in general.

NOTE: This is different than the AutoML CLI or Model Builder. Our core focus is on C# code for Machine Learning using the AutoML as baby steps into Machine Learning
