.NET Day Switzerland 2023

Der .NET Day Switzerland 2023 findet am Dienstag, 29. August 2023 in der Arena Cinemas im Sihlcity in Zürich statt und ist eine unabhängige Technologiekonferenz für Entwickler, Architekten und Experten, um .NET-Technologien rund um .NET, .NET Core, C#, ASP.NET Core, Azure und mehr zu diskutieren und kennenzulernen.

Erfahrene Referenten teilen ihr Wissen zu aktuellen Themen und geben tiefe Einblicke in die neue Welt der Microsoft-Softwareentwicklung und darüber hinaus. Neben den technischen Vorträgen bietet der .NET Day Raum für Diskussionen mit den Referenten und anderen Teilnehmern.

Noser Engineering ist an diesem Event einerseits als Silver-Sponsor mit einem Stand vertreten, andererseits referiert Alexander Kayed, Senior Software Engineer, an der Veranstaltung zum Thema:

Bringing the Power of Deep Learning to .NET with ONNX an ML.NET

With the advent of ChatGPT, everyone is talking about AI. And it is destined to become even more embedded into our daily lives. However, while .NET is usually not associated with machine learning, ML.NET is a powerful tool within our ecosystem and allows us to use our existing C#-skills to train and use machine learning models.

The talk will start with an introductory look at ML.NET. Getting started with AutoML and Model Builder is easy and training such small models is feasible for everyone. However, training state-of-the-art large models is near impossible and thus, we can integrate existing, pretrained deep learning models. In the talk, we will use ONNX, an open format to exchange deep neural networks between tools and frameworks, to integrate a pretrained BERT model into a .NET application. BERT is a transformer-based natural language model, similar to the famous GPT-models, and will answer questions in natural language for us.
