`nimbusml` is a Python module that provides Python bindings for [ML.NET](https://github.com/dotnet/machinelearning).

ML.NET was originally developed in Microsoft Research and is used across many product groups in Microsoft like Windows, Bing, PowerPoint, Excel and others. `nimbusml` was built to enable data science teams that are more familiar with Python to take advantage of ML.NET's functionality and performance.

This package enables training ML.NET pipelines or integrating ML.NET components directly into [scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/) pipelines (it supports `numpy.ndarray`, `scipy.sparse_cst`, and `pandas.DataFrame` as inputs).
`nimbusml` enables training ML.NET pipelines or integrating ML.NET components directly into [scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/) pipelines. It adheres to existing `scikit-learn` conventions, allowing simple interoperability between `nimbusml` and `scikit-learn` components, while adding a suite of fast, highly optimized, and scalable algorithms, transforms, and components written in C++ and C\#.

See examples below showing interoperability with `scikit-learn`. A more detailed example in the [documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nimbusml/tutorials/b_c-sentiment-analysis-3-combining-nimbusml-and-scikit-learn) shows how to use a `nimbusml` component in a `scikit-learn` pipeline, and create a pipeline using only `nimbusml` components.

`nimbusml` supports `numpy.ndarray`, `scipy.sparse_cst`, and `pandas.DataFrame` as inputs. In addition, `nimbusml` also supports streaming from files without loading the dataset into memory with `FileDataStream`, which allows training on data significantly exceeding memory.

Documentation can be found [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/NimbusML/overview) and additional notebook samples can be found [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/NimbusML-Samples).
