Examples

The following example loads a model and creates an evaluation session with it.

private async Task LoadModelAsync(string _modelFileName)
{
    LearningModel _model;
    LearningModelSession _session;

    try
    {
        // Load and create the model
        var modelFile = 
            await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(new Uri($"ms-appx:///Assets/{_modelFileName}"));
        _model = await LearningModel.LoadFromStorageFileAsync(modelFile);

        // Create the evaluation session with the model
        _session = new LearningModelSession(_model);

    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        StatusBlock.Text = $"error: {ex.Message}";
        _model = null;
    }
}

Remarks

Version history

Windows version	SDK version	Value added
1903	18362	LearningModelSession(LearningModel,LearningModelDevice,LearningModelSessionOptions)

Constructors

LearningModelSession(LearningModel, LearningModelDevice, LearningModelSessionOptions)	Creates a session using the specified device and additional inference options.
LearningModelSession(LearningModel, LearningModelDevice)	Creates a session using the specified device.
LearningModelSession(LearningModel)	Creates a session using the default device.

Properties

Device	Returns the session's evaluation device.
EvaluationProperties	Set of properties that control model evaluation.
Model	Returns the trained machine learning model for this session.

Methods

Close()	Closes the current LearningModelSession.
Dispose()	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
Evaluate(LearningModelBinding, String)	Evaluate the machine learning model using the feature values bound in bindings.
EvaluateAsync(LearningModelBinding, String)	Asynchronously evaluate the machine learning model using the feature values already bound in bindings.
EvaluateFeatures(IMap<String,Object>, String)	Evaluate the machine learning model using the feature values in features.
EvaluateFeaturesAsync(IMap<String,Object>, String)	Asynchronously evaluate the machine learning model using the feature values in features.
