The t-SNE Data Visualization Technique from Scratch Using C#

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research presents a full-code, step-by-step example of machine learning technique to visualize high-dimensional data.

Data Clustering Using a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) with C#

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research presents a full-code, step-by-step tutorial on technique for visualizing and clustering data.

Principal Component Analysis from Scratch Using Singular Value Decomposition with C#

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research presents a full-code, step-by-step tutorial on a classical ML technique that transforms a dataset into one with fewer columns, useful for creating a graph of data that has more than two columns, for example.

Matrix Inverse from Scratch Using SVD Decomposition with C#

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research presents a full-code, step-by-step tutorial on an implementation of the technique that emphasizes simplicity and ease-of-modification over robustness and performance.

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) from Scratch Using the Classical Technique with C#

Transforming a dataset into one with fewer columns is more complicated than it might seem, explains Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research in this full-code, step-by-step machine learning tutorial.

My App Is Fully Concurrent and Async, but What About the Database?

You've carefully crafted a concurrent application taking advantage of all the latest and greatest language features. It scales magnificently and it's the jewel of the cloud. But what about the database? What happens when simultaneous queries are executed against the same data?

Matrix Inverse from Scratch Using QR Decomposition with C#

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research guides you through a full-code, step-by-step tutorial on "one of the most important operations in machine learning."

Spectral Data Clustering from Scratch Using C#

Spectral clustering is quite complex, but it can reveal patterns in data that aren't revealed by other clustering techniques.

K-Means Data Clustering from Scratch Using C#

K-means is comparatively simple and works well with large datasets, but it assumes clusters are circular/spherical in shape, so it can only find simple cluster geometries.
