Use LLMs to build better business software applications Autonomously communicate with users and optimize business tasks with applications built to make the interaction between humans and computers smooth and natural. Artificial Intelligence expert Francesco Esposito illustrates several scenarios for which a LLM is effective: crafting sophisticated business solutions, shortening the gap between humans and software-equipped machines, and building powerful reasoning engines. Insight into prompting and conversational programming—with specific techniques for patterns and frameworks—unlock how natural language can also lead to a new, advanced approach to coding. Concrete end-to-end demonstrations (featuring Python and ASP. NET Core) showcase versatile patterns of interaction between existing processes, APIs, data, and human input. Artificial Intelligence expert Francesco Esposito helps you: Understand the history of large language models and conversational programmingApply prompting as a new way of codingLearn core prompting techniques and fundamental use-casesEngineer advanced prompts, including connecting LLMs to data and function calling to build reasoning enginesUse natural language in code to define workflows and orchestrate existing APIsMaster external LLM frameworksEvaluate responsible AI security, privacy, and accuracy concernsExplore the AI regulatory landscapeBuild and implement a personal assistantApply a retrieval augmented generation (RAG) pattern to formulate responses based on a knowledge baseConstruct a conversational user interface For IT Professionals and Consultants For software professionals, architects, lead developers, programmers, and Machine Learning enthusiastsFor anyone else interested in natural language processing or real-world applications of human-like language in software

The expert guide to creating production machine learning solutions with ML. NET! ML. NET brings the power of machine learning to all . NET developers— and Programming ML. NET helps you apply it in real production solutions. Modeled on Dino Esposito’s best-selling Programming ASP. NET, this book takes the same scenario-based approach Microsoft’s team used to build ML. NET itself. After a foundational overview of ML. NET’s libraries, the authors illuminate mini-frameworks (“ML Tasks”) for regression, classification, ranking, anomaly detection, and more. For each ML Task, they offer insights for overcoming common real-world challenges. Finally, going far beyond shallow learning, the authors thoroughly introduce ML. NET neural networking. They present a complete example application demonstrating advanced Microsoft Azure cognitive services and a handmade custom Keras network— showing how to leverage popular Python tools within . NET. 14-time Microsoft MVP Dino Esposito and son Francesco Esposito show how to: Build smarter machine learning solutions that are closer to your user’s needsSee how ML. NET instantiates the classic ML pipeline, and simplifies common scenarios such as sentiment analysis, fraud detection, and price predictionImplement data processing and training, and “productionize” machine learning–based software solutionsMove from basic prediction to more complex tasks, including categorization, anomaly detection, recommendations, and image classificationPerform both binary and multiclass classificationUse clustering and unsupervised learning to organize data into homogeneous groupsSpot outliers to detect suspicious behavior, fraud, failing equipment, or other issuesMake the most of ML. NET’s powerful, flexible forecasting capabilitiesImplement the related functions of ranking, recommendation, and collaborative filteringQuickly build image classification solutions with ML. NET transfer learningMove to deep learning when standard algorithms and shallow learning aren’t enough“Buy” neural networking via the Azure Cognitive Services API, or explore building your own with Keras and TensorFlow
