Machine learning is often perceived to be a daunting topic, when in fact its concepts are fairly intuitive and easy to use. This session will introduce machine learning basics, and will thus address the clustering issue in .NET applications by focusing on the practical real-world applications of recommendation engines. At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to immediately use their unlabeled data to create powerful models for predicting the future based on the past.
