ColumnCursorExtensions

Extension methods that allow to extract values of a single column of an IDataView as an IEnumerable<T>.

CompositeDataLoader<TSource,TLastTransformer>

This class represents a data loader that applies a transformer chain after loading. It also has methods to save itself to a repository.

CompositeLoaderEstimator<TSource,TLastTransformer>

An estimator class for composite data loader. It can be used to build a 'trainable smart data loader', although this pattern is not very common.

Represents the confusion matrix of the classification results.

DatabaseLoader
DatabaseLoader.Column

Describes how an input column should be mapped to an IDataView column.

DataViewType

This is the abstract base class for all types in the IDataView type system.

DataViewTypeAttribute

DataViewTypeAttribute should be used to decorated class properties and fields, if that class' instances will be loaded as ML.NET IDataView. The function Register() will be called to register a DataViewType for a Type with its Attributes. Whenever a value typed to the registered Type and its Attributes, that value's type (i.e., a Type) in IDataView would be the associated DataViewType.

DataViewTypeManager

A singleton class for managing the map between ML.NET DataViewType and C# Type. To support custom column type in IDataView, the column's underlying type (e.g., a C# class's type) should be registered with a class derived from DataViewType.

The standard date time offset type. This has representation type of DateTimeOffset. Note this can have only one possible value, accessible by the singleton static property Instance.

OneToOneTransformerBase

Base class for transformer which operates on pairs input and output columns.

PredictionTransformerBase<TModel>

Base class for transformers with no feature column, or more than one feature columns.

PrimitiveDataViewType

RowToRowTransformerBase

Base class for transformer which produce new columns, but doesn't affect existing ones.

SchemaAnnotationsExtensions

TextDataViewType

The standard text type. This has representation type of ReadOnlyMemory<T> with type parameter Char. Note this can have only one possible value, accessible by the singleton static property Instance.

TextLoader.Range

Specifies the range of indices of input columns that should be mapped to an output column.

TimeSpanDataViewType

The standard timespan type. This has representation type of TimeSpan. Note this can have only one possible value, accessible by the singleton static property Instance.

TransformerChain<TLastTransformer>

A chain of transformers (possibly empty) that end with a TLastTransformer. For an empty chain, TLastTransformer is always ITransformer.

TrivialEstimator<TTransformer>

The trivial implementation of IEstimator<TTransformer> that already has the transformer and returns it on every call to Fit(IDataView).

Concrete implementations still have to provide the schema propagation mechanism, since there is no easy way to infer it from the transformer.

VBufferEditor

Various methods for creating VBufferEditor<T> instances.

VectorDataViewType

The standard vector type. The representation type of this is VBuffer<T>, where the type parameter is in ItemType.

VectorTypeAttribute

Allows a member to be marked as a VectorDataViewType, primarily allowing one to set the dimensionality of the resulting array.

Structs

DataViewRowId

A structure serving as the identifier of a row of IDataView. For datasets with millions of records, those IDs need to be unique, therefore the need for such a large structure to hold the values. Those Ids are derived from other Ids of the previous components of the pipelines, and dividing the structure in two: high order and low order of bits, and reduces the changes of those collisions even further.

VBuffer<T>

A buffer that supports both dense and sparse representations. This is the representation type for all VectorDataViewType instances. The explicitly defined values of this vector are exposed through GetValues() and, if not dense, GetIndices().

VBufferEditor<T>

An object capable of editing a VBuffer<T> by filling out Values (and Indices if the buffer is not dense).

Interfaces

IFileHandle

A file handle.

IMultiStreamSource

An interface for exposing some number of items that can be opened for reading.

IRowToRowMapper

This interface maps an input DataViewRow to an output DataViewRow. Typically, the output contains both the input columns and new columns added by the implementing class, although some implementations may return a subset of the input columns. This interface is similar to Microsoft.ML.Data.ISchemaBoundRowMapper, except it does not have any input role mappings, so to rebind, the same input column names must be used. Implementations of this interface are typically created over defined input DataViewSchema.

Enums

DataKind

Specifies a simple data type.

MLPixelFormat

Specifies the format of the color data for each pixel in the image.

SchemaDefinition.Direction
TransformerScope

This enum allows for 'tagging' the estimators (and subsequently transformers) in the chain to be used 'only for training', 'for training and evaluation' etc. Most notable example is, transformations over the label column should not be used for scoring, so the scope should be Training or TrainTest.
