This content is being retired and may not be updated in the future. The support for Machine Learning Server will end on July 1, 2022. For more information, see What's happening to Machine Learning Server?

For sentiment analysis of text and image classification, Machine Learning Server offers two approaches for training the models: you can train the models yourself using your data, or install pre-trained models that come with training data obtained and developed by Microsoft. The advantage of pre-trained models is that you can score and classify new content right away.

  • Sentiment analysis scores raw unstructured text in positive-negative terms, returning a score between 0 (negative) and 1 (positive), indicating relative sentiment.

  • Image detection identifies features of the image. There are several use cases for this model: image recognition, image classification. For image recognition, the model returns n-grams that possibly describe the image. For image classification, the model evaluates images and returns a classification based on possible classes you provided (for example, is the image a fish or a dog).

Pre-trained models are available for both R and Python development, through the MicrosoftML R package and the microsoftml Python package.

Benefits of using pre-trained models

Pre-trained models have been made available to support customers who need to perform tasks such as sentiment analysis or image featurization, but do not have the resources to obtain the large datasets or train a complex model. Using pre-trained models lets you get started on text and image processing most efficiently.

Currently the models that are available are deep neural network (DNN) models for sentiment analysis and image classification. All four pre-trained models were trained on CNTK. The configuration of each network was based on the following reference implementations:

  • Resnet-18
  • Resnet-50
  • ResNet-101
  • AlexNet

How to install the models

Pre-trained models are installed through setup as an optional component of Machine Learning Server or SQL Server Machine Learning. You can also get the R version of the models through Microsoft R Client.

  1. Run a Machine Learning Server setup program for your target platform: Install Machine Learning Server.

  2. When specifying components to install, add at least one language (R Server or Python) and the pre-trained models. Language support is required. The models cannot be installed as a standalone component.

  3. After setup completes, verify the models are on your computer. Pre-trained models are local, added to the MicrosoftML and microsftml library, respectively, when you run setup. The files are \mxlibs<modelname>_updated.model for Python and \mxlibs\x64<modelname>_updated.model for R.

For samples demonstrating use of the pre-trained models, see R Samples for MicrosoftML and Python Samples for MicrosoftML.

Next steps

Install the models by running the setup program or installation script for the target platform or product:
