Machine Learning Server

Microsoft ML Server and its capabilities in SQL Server and HDInsight are the subject of this chapter. In addition, the chapter will provide a walk-through on ML Server's use in order to demonstrate optimal situations in which to use it and how to deploy a solution with it.

Classified algorithms are supervised learning algorithms, which means that they make predictions based on a set of examples.

Often, it is useful to use data to predict a category, and this is known as classification. Take, for example, Andrew Ng's work on the classification of YouTube content as a cat video, or a video of something that is not a cat.
