+var data = reader.Read(dataPath);
+var learningPipeline = mlContext.Transforms.Text.FeaturizeText("SentimentText", "Features")
+        .Append(mlContext.BinaryClassification.Trainers.FastTree());
 var model = learningPipeline.Fit(data);
 
 ```
 
 Now from the model we can make inferences (predictions):
 
 ```C#
-var predictionFunc = model.MakePredictionFunction<SentimentInput, SentimentPrediction>(env);
+var predictionFunc = model.MakePredictionFunction<SentimentData, SentimentPrediction>(mlContext);
 var prediction = predictionFunc.Predict(new SentimentData
 {
     SentimentText = "Today is a great day!"
 });
-Console.WriteLine("prediction: " + prediction.Sentiment);
+Console.WriteLine("prediction: " + prediction.Prediction);
 ```
 A cookbook that shows how to use these APIs for a variety of existing and new scenarios can be found [here](docs/code/MlNetCookBook.md).
