Microsoft Open Sources Their Infer.NET Machine Learning Framework

Tech giant Microsoft made the decision to announce that one of the top-tier cross-platform frameworks for model-based machine learning is open to one and all worldwide. "We're extremely excited today to open source Infer.NET on GitHub under the permissive MIT license for free use in commercial applications," wrote Yordan Zaykov, Principal Research Software Engineering Lead at Microsoft in an official statement. Open sourcing Infer.NET represents the culmination of a long and ambitious journey. The Microsoft Research Team in Cambridge embarked on developing the framework back in 2004. The statement said that they had learned a lot along the way about making ML solutions that are scalable and interpretable.
