So I wanted to ask about the new Big Bang fic you're coming out with, "In Pursuit of the Uneatable". I've really liked most of your other ML fics (as you well know), so I was thinking of checking it out, but well… the premise makes me wary, since it's one of those "Lila manages to isolate Marinette using her lies" premises. But I did notice that instead of talking about Marinette's friends "turning on her" or otherwise trying to hurt her in some way, you're just talking about them becoming distant, which is something I could feasibly see happening if Lila managed to sow enough doubt about Marinette's motives and actions. They'd never hurt her (everyone thinks of Chloe as a bully and they don't try to hurt HER, and I don't think that's just because of the potential of her father retaliating), but being a little more leery of her is possible if they aren't as certain of her moral character as they used to be.

And I also saw that you didn't mention anything about like, Marinette trying to get revenge of any sort against other people or leaving them to rot or anything, which makes me think it might not be that sort of fic? The vibe I'm getting from the synopsis you gave is that the main reason you went with the "Lila's lies manage to isolate Marinette" thing is to explore how she copes with not having a very stable support network (since in the show she has a huge, solid one, even with Lila's best efforts at sabotaging it), and to have Adrien serve as her main support until Lila's beaten, rather than to specifically demonize everyone in Marinette's orbit and have her take sadistic pleasure in hurting them in revenge.

That's really the crux of my question and my fear, I guess. Nothing in your previous works made it look like you'd be likely to go this route, but I really need to know before I chance glancing at your fic: are Marinette's friends, the class more generally, gonna be made to be awful people beyond anything that could be reasonably extrapolated out about them? Is Marinette gonna seek revenge or punishment for them for believing Lila's lies? Basically, are they gonna get "Ron the Death Eatered", if you're familiar with that tvtropes term? I've gotten pretty traumatized from running into that over and over in the ML fandom (and no, I'm not kidding about the trauma here, it's gotten really bad at times), so while I see lots of signs that this is gonna be a lot more reasonable than say, the "Alya strangles Marinette for being mean to Lila" or "Marinette intentionally arranges for Lila to be in a position to sexually harass Adrien as revenge for him advising her to take the high road" scenarios that I've seen in the past, I still want to check since I instinctively flinch when I see anything anything even remotely in the ballpark of a saltfic premise due to seeing those sorts of things incessantly for years.

Totally get your hesitation! As someone who generally isn't a fan of saltfics/bashing either, I understand being wary.

I will say that your read of the summary is an accurate one. This fic definitely will focus more on Marinette's mental state than anything else, and it is more of a "Marinette isolates herself from everyone on purpose" rather than Lila shoving her out.

I don't want to be like "oh i wrote all the characters perfectly" because....obvious reasons LOL but I made sure to give the other characters reasons for acting as they do. I know you're an Alya fan, so I will say that nothing bad happens to Alya and even Marinette never really blames her for believing Lila's lies - and the same for their other classmates as well. It's a lot more of Marinette blaming herself, I think, hence the unreliable narrator tag, but she does have a charitable view of her classmates. Instead of blaming them for listening to Lila, she'll still acknowledge the fact that they're her friends too, and them caring about Lila doesn't mean they still don't care about her.

More than the bullying/lying, I think this fic also explores ideas that are a bit different. Not to get too into spoiler territory, but it deals pretty heavily with sentimonter-esque creation, and the biggest thing for Marinette is understanding what it means to be human - and in that process, realizing that Lila, too, is just as human as she is. So more introspection/character study territory than "oh Lila sucks and she's going down'.

But yes, to answer your question: no revenge on her classmates, and no bashing/saltfics here!

Butterfly effect of the Reversal Salt AU

First thing first, I'm not bashing Adrien, Marinette, or anyone. However, the narrative is mostly from Lila's POV so, of course, she'd throw insults like candy, undermine everyone's worth (such as calling them by a superficial attribute instead of their names), and exaggerate their flaws.

On a related note. ML's characters are flawed. Marinette has creepy stalker tendencies, Chat Noir is a dogged nice guy, the class takes advantage of Marinette (even if unwittingly), and Mme. Bustier is an enabler for bullying. I'm not willing to overlook those flaws but seeing most of the characters are teenagers, I think they have room to grow and all of them deserve a chance for redemption. Yes, even Lila, loath as I am to say it. Most of the kids have also virtues worth of notice.

Secondly, this is a writing prompt. After reading too many Lila Salt Fics and a Lilanette one I stumbled upon by accident, my brain decided to wonder how would a Salt Fic be if Marinette and Adrien's roles were reversed.

For want of a nail (i.e., transferring six months later in the year), Lila has set her sights on budding fashion designer Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Because Marinette is infatuated by Adrien Agreste, Lila needs to get him out of the way. As a result, she plans on ostracizing him from the class and demonizing him so Marinette would lose interest. Lila's actions have some unexpected positive side effects. She's possessive, so everything Marinette does has to be to Lila's benefit which leads Lila to shame the classmates on how much they take Marinette for granted. Whether Lila successfully traps Marinette in an abusive romantic relationship it's up to whoever wants to continue this thing. More impactful is the fact Lila was never akumatized into Volpina or Chameleon, thus preventing Heroes' Day from happening. This means that Hawk Moth achieved the mass akumatization and discovered the temporary heroes' identities in another way or didn't do it at all. Another ripple effect is Lila getting a Miraculous by virtue of being on Ladybug's good side. I don't think Rena Rouge will be replaced, so no Volpina, but I'm betting she gets one of the Zodiac Miraculous or the Peacock if the heroes manage to retrieve it from Mayura.

In spite of a nail, Lila still eventually associates with Gabriel Agreste to manipulate his son into doing her bidding. And I can assure you she's still the cause of several akumas (the shaming part). She will still wrap Damoclès and Bustier around her little finger by claiming she's being bullied by a fellow student. Furthermore, it's still well in the realm of possibility Lila gets akumatized at some point. The girl' still has a penchant for holding petty grudges, so it's bound to happen. Maybe she does get turned into Volpina or Chameleon, but it will be later and in different circumstances. "The Collector" still happens more or less the same as Gabriel will akumatize himself to retrieve the Grimoire and get the heroes off of his trail, though there's the chance the middlewoman (Ladybug) is cut and Chat Noir gives the book directly to Master Fu, causing him to meet the guardian. Will that make Adrien a more responsible hero and prevent his tantrums from being locked out of the loop? It depends. If somehow Ladybug and Chat Noir go together, Ladybug will still be Fu's successor but Chat Noir will know more things from the get-go. If it's only him, either the guardian contacts Marinette later or starts training Adrien. Keep in mind, though, that his packed schedule won't allow him to visit Fu as frequently as Canon!Marinette could.

Whether she starts working for Hawk Moth is uncertain, though. It depends on your take on this prompt so nails don't have a say in this matter. Or not an obvious one, at least.

In the third place, this is a writing prompt and, as such, people have utter freedom to make of it what they want. Wanna bash the hell out of Adrien? Of Alya? Mme. Bustier? Chloé? Even Marinette? Go on. I think the kids can grow into better people, but if other writers disagree, have different stories in mind, or are simply salty over someone, I won't be the one to put limits to their creativity and desires. The same applies to whomever you choose to redeem. That's why I left it very ambiguous throughout the prompt on whether Chloé is working towards her Redemption or following her canonical Damnation. She defends Ladybug because she loves the heroine, she snickers when Alya has to change seats because she feels vindicated ("Origins" episode), and she stands for Adrien because he's her childhood friend. In the former case, both the vindication and the insults are little steps backward, especially considering Chloé knows how much Adrien fears conflict (he won't and doesn't defend himself that much).

Having said that, for all I respect freedom of speech, that doesn't mean I'll condone or agree with everything people write inspired on this prompt. Have fun, but it's not my responsibility if we end up with a "Dead Dove: Don't Eat" kind of fic, okay?

Fourth, here are some of my ideas about this Reversal Salt AU.

Lila's mother, here dubbed as Signora Rossi (Signora means Mrs. in Italian), is not an abusive parent but possibly a slightly neglectful one. That doesn't mean she's a bad person or that she loves her daughter any less. It just means she's caught up in a very demanding job either because she's ambitious and wants to succeed in her work field (which is fine) or because she's a single mother and thus is stretching herself thin to fulfill her daughter's physical and emotional needs. Or maybe she just wants to believe the best of her daughter and turns a blind eye to Lila's misdeeds. Despite that, she's caring and loving. I'm not keen on demonizing Signora Rossi because of these reasons but it is clear she ought to pay a little bit more attention to what her daughter is up to and is likely she for some reason failed to instill integrity in kid!Lila. An excellent take on this matter can be found in this fanfic: "A mother's love".

On the other hand, it's also entirely possible Lila was born a psychopath. I've been researching and some psychologists hold that a sociopath is made through trauma and a psychopath is born, but the result is the same anti-social tendencies. Though if you want to make her a sociopath and give her a traumatic past, go on. Canon!Lila not only scores high in psychopathy but also Machiavellism and Narcissism.

In regards to her other parent, I left their gender ambiguous because there are some fan theories that Lila has two mothers. Or it's maybe just an animation error, but I don't like to throw the chance out of the window. Now, in the case it wasn't a mistake, both mothers are what I described a paragraph ago but fanfiction exists to explore different scenarios anyway, so... Maybe this other parent influenced Lila to become who she is now.

About Adrien. As I said above, the kid does have some nasty flaws. What he does to Ladybug at the very least verges on sexual harassment and he's proven to be manipulative (throwing tantrums when rejected). In this AU, said flaws are at play as much as Marinette's flaws were in canon. She partially misused her powers out of jealousy (partially because she had a point in that Lila was making herself a target) and her reasons to eavesdrop on Lila and Adrien are definitely not pure. Here, it's her tendency to obsess over and idealize her crush what is going to be her downfall. I'm not victim-blaming, but abusers prey on their victim's weaknesses and those just happen to be Marinette's. And that's not counting how Marinette's yearn for control was aggravated since the "Chat Blanc" incident (it happens later, but the base is already there). Nonetheless, I'm of the idea that Lila opened Marinette's eyes a little when she attacked her crush on Adrien (like pointing out being a stalker is not healthy) and that's going to bite her in the ass later on. Marinette being a doormat to her friends is more tricky since Lila made it as to ensure Marinette will remain a doormat to her but not anyone else. It's workable when the time to heal comes.

By contrast, Adrien's doormat policies, pushiness, obliviousness, and social ineptitude are still going to be rocks in his path. He's now crossed at Lila for several reasons. The obvious is her "bad-mouthing" Chat Noir, but there's more. Up to this point, Lila has consistently stirred trouble in the classroom, menacing the peace he values so much. It's Lila's fault (or that's how he sees it) Marinette is "abandoning" her friends and being "mean" to them. His upbringing has left him rather unable to understand that kindness is not a synonym of "absolutely catering to someone's wishes" (as he often does with Chloé and always with his father) and that this behavior is not healthy. His obliviousness comes into play in regards to just how much Marinette means to him (platonically or romantically). Lila has been monopolizing Marinette all to herself even when the class hangs out as a group, which severely cuts the already scarce time the two interact. He's jealous without being aware of it. It doesn't help how touchy-feely Lila and Marinette are because it sometimes causes discomfort to the latter, which Adrien picks up and not only notices Lila's hypocrisy but also rubs him in the wrong way as it mirrors his behavior as Chat Noir. Now, don't get me wrong, the least he wanted was to cause a scene but couldn't help but glare and Lila capitalized on that.

What does Lila think of Ladybug? "Volpina" never happened and this Lila only intended on pursuing Adrien before discovering Marinette's promising career, so neither hates the other one nor harbors a grudge. In fact, I doubt this AU would last much if that were the case. I left open the possibility of Lila being the anti-Chloé (hates Ladybug, loves Marinette) with that part of suspecting Marinette is crushing on Ladybug (*laughs in Plagg*), but I have to note that the hatred cannot be mutual for this to work. Canon!Lila loathes Chat Noir and it's likely that will remain the same, just less vocal (Marinette admires Ladybug and has a way of contacting the heroine, so Lila won't bad-mouth Chat Noir in front of Ladybug).

What roles would Luka and Kagami play in this AU? Obviously, the love-dodecaedron has shifted. There are at least three people after Marinette/Ladybug's affections: Chat Noir, Luka, and Lila. And whoever you ship Marinette with. And, now, there are only two girls wanting to date Adrien/Chat Noir: Kagami and Marinette. Chloé is uncertain because it was stated at some point she wasn't in love with Adrien, she was just possessive for some reason (fanon says it was to protect him from fangirls and fanboys). One possible scenario in this AU is that Marinette's feelings towards Adrien fade for the most part (maybe they will resurge later or shift to return Chat Noir's), depending on how efficient you want to portray Lila. Getting back to the point, Luka still has a crush on Marinette as revealed in "Silencer" and Kagami on Adrien but the events of "Oni-chan" developed differently and it's as equally possible that she confessed her crush on him/was akumatized than it hasn't happened yet. If Lila somehow catches wind of Kagami's crush, she will set the two up to force Marinette to move on. She might even encourage Marinette and Kagami's friendship to bind Marinette to obey the girl code and support Kagami. If she learns of Luka's crush, then she'll either play the card that "he's too old for Marinette" (if we disregard the retcon) or try to exclude him from the class' activities. Taking more extreme measures will tip Marinette off of Lila's true nature. As I side note: I like this more than canon because I'm TIRED of watching four girls fighting over a guy.

How will Alya and Nino react? Without the jealousy component, what are the grounds to dismiss his warnings? Well, Adrien still takes the high road so he won't publicly confront Lila on her manipulations. He dreads conflict too much and if he finally does it, it will be too late — either Lilanette is official or everyone else believes so, therefore the class will be prone to believe Adrien is jealous. The lack of public accusations also rob Lila of one of her primary strategies: turn on the waterworks. Consequently, everything will be much more underhanded. Lila's association with Gabriel will result in Adrien spending far less time with his friends and maybe even pulling the same stunt of threatening them in the hopes of creating powerful akumas (again, "Chat Blanc" episode). But I digress, Lila will relentlessly target Alya and Adrien for supporting LadyNoir. Maybe Alya will learn her lesson but as Adrien already sees Lila in a bad light, he will take longer to budge or won't do it at all. Nino will try to change Adrien's opinion and that'll cause a gap between the two. Nino is very laidback, so he won't push as much but will be vulnerable to Lila's poisoning. Alya will remain Marinette's friend but butt heads with Lila as the latter tries to correct her occasional forcefulness. Marinette will intervene and either Alya regards Lila in a positive light because she did help Marinette (in a sense) or by holding onto her stubbornness will have a fallout with Lila and seek flaws on her. All in all, Alya and Nino's behavior are wildly variable. The only secure thing is that Lila is as capable as in canon of swaying them to her favor and making them unwittingly throw a friend under the bus, just in a different way.

I don't know if you've noticed but there's a theme about how holding onto flaws can sometimes yield positive results, often aided by virtues. In canon, it was how holding onto virtues can sometimes yield negative results, often exacerbated by flaws. Marinette's hatred of liars and loyalty to her friends are virtues but landed her on a bully's bad side and got isolated. Her jealousy and stalker tendencies (both flaws) didn't help matters at all. Meanwhile, Adrien's desire to see the best in everyone and give second chances are virtues but they made him act in the wrong way and fail to support a friend. His learned fear of conflict and submissiveness only made things worse. Lila has the virtue of being charming (for the wrong reasons, but still) and knowing her way with people which would turn her into a fine leader. Yet, she causes mayhem and destroys people's lives by using those virtues along with her fatal flaws — narcissism and vindictiveness.

In the Reversal Salt AU, however, most of the positive results stem from holding onto one's flaws. If Alya remains stubborn, she eventually learns Lila's nature aided by her reporter abilities and determination. If Marinette refuses to let go of her obsessiveness and refuses to think the worse of her friends, she forces Lila to ditch subtlety and thus expose herself. If Adrien continues walking the high road and keeps being nice, he provides Lila with far less ammunition against him. Nino has proved to be distrustful (dismissing Marinette in the Lila ordeal and believing Alya is two-timing him in "Rocketear") and if he does that here, he'll catch on to Lila's manipulations and even call her out given his outgoing nature.

This brief interpretation is merely a suggestion and, again, you are not obliged to use it as the central theme of your story. Personally, I'd use the whole "holding onto flaws gets better results" as a temptation in the characters' arcs whereas the "working on my flaws unwittingly aids the villain" as an angst-fuel when the characters learn of Lila's manipulations. One of the traits of an abusive relationship (romantic or otherwise) is how much the victim struggles to stop believing their abuser's words. Nobody is always wrong, so if my abuser was right about/helped me with this thing, would they be right about/had helped with this other one? Often, it comes down to finding a balance: you keep whatever good things you got from the relationship while discarding the harmful ones. Naturally, this is a lengthy, stressful process that Lila can very well exploit to blackmail her victims, make them second-guess themselves, or just make them miserable.

Last but not least, I want to comment on two Lila Salt Fics that depict similar ideas, although I only found them after crafting this AU. Little spoilers warning about them. The first is "Liar's New BFF" and delves into the idea of Lila being the anti-Chloé. After having her lies exposed at the end of "Volpina", she starts regarding the classmates as vermin and genuinely falls in love with Marinette because of her kindness. She then proceeds to create a riff between Marinette and them by pointing out how much they take advantage of her. In this case, Lila is partially redeemed and doesn't seem to hold a particular grudge against Adrien. The Reversal Salt AU can follow a similar path if you want to, but the idea is to not shy away from Lila's many shortcomings as a human being and how that would affect Marinette and Adrien in an alternate scenario.

The other is "Jerk in Sheep's Clothing", where Lila's spear counterpart, called Henri, acts pretty much as I described Reversal Salt!Lila. He gets infatuated by Marinette and after threatening Lila, makes a deal with her so it's easier for both to accomplish their goals (Lila: get Adrien and be popular, Henri: get Marinette all for himself). He exploits Marinette's broken trust in the classmates to bully them and get away with it, collaborates with Hawk Moth at some point, and even gets a Miraculous. The difference between them is that Reversal Salt!Lila doesn't have the benefit of Marinette being emotionally vulnerable due to Canon!Lila's bullying, nor her faith in her friends is weakened. This means this AU's Lila must resource to more deceptive tactics to get what she wants (she can't blatantly lie).

ML Fanfiction - Lila Rossi

What I really love about some fanfiction centering around Lila Rossi's lies being found out, is how everyone just makes up something that we know is a lie which the class would lap it up.

Although, I always preferred the lies she could pass as truth with her charm, as she does in canon and something she knew everyone would overlook.

Then again, it's also fun to make up lies that are so bizarre that anyone with a common sense could tell it's a lie but due to her charm and/or through supernatural means she can pass it off as a lie.

The lies I like best are the lies from Ladybug fanfictions that crosses over with Batman or DC comics.

Being so close with Damian Wayne, even go as far as dating him.

Has been visiting the Wayne Mansion

Being so close with Bruce Wayne

Knowing Batman's identity

and the like

There's this one lie I'm fond of, well because I'm the one who made it lol.

Did you know that Captain Marvel and I were best friends? Well his wife and I go way back, you know Mary Marvel? Please don’t tell anyone I told you that.

What's best is that she told this lie to Billy Batson aka Captain Marvel.

Too bad, a lot of the fanfictions that feature this contain bashing content, specifically bashing everyone of Marinette's classmates some even went as far as making Chloe to be Marinette's ally in all of them, which I'm not complaining about, but I also want that shred of canon compliance in them.

Anyway, just wanted to share something that the fandom has created in response to canon and the fanworks it spawned.

Are you planning on doing only ML salt fics? Or are there any non-salt fics planned?

I mean, it's honestly hard to say? Theres a lot in canon that just makes it difficult not to have salt. I mean, I wrote an old Adrienette oneshot that wasn't salt, but I honestly had to stop myself short before I did put salt in it somewhere.

The problem is that their are inconsistencies and a lot of plot armor characters in the show, so it makes it difficult to write fics without unintentionally bashing a lot. I mostly write salt with it now since I figure I might as well just roll with it. However, my intentions are not always to write ML salt: in my newest Maribat fic, I didn't even originally plan to throw salt at the class, and Chat Noir, and all of Paris itself... it just kinda happened in the prewrite and I decided "yeah it would make more sense with all that so I might as well".

My one shots don't usually have salt in them, unless its solely focused on them. So look out for those ;D

It's hilarious (in sad way) how majority of ML episodes' synopses could be mistaken for summaries of Marinette bashing fics if not fact that ML Writers themselves post them

Synopsis: When Marinette plans to poison a bird that landed on Adrien's shoulder, she gets carried away and poisons the whole class. Hawk Moth uses this in his advantage and akumatizes their parents but the little does Marinette know is that the strongest villain yet will be the bird's mother.

Marinette: WHAT?! THE BIRD LITERALLY FLEW PASS ADRIEN INTO A TREE AND THAT'S HOW IT DIED! OUR CLASS ATE BAD DESSERT THAT GAVE US ALL STOMACH ACHE AND THERE WAS NO BIRD'S MOTHER NOR PARENTS AKUMATIZED! WHAT THE HELL?!

Marketing team: Shut up. We know exactly how it happened cuz we saw the teaser and it clearly explains that you poised everyone. *laughs* This will be a great idea for our salt fics!

Thomas: So when they ask me on Twitter what do I answer?

Marketing team: Marinette did it.

Thomas: *writes down* Marinette did it. Got it!

Marinette: *face palm*

Are allowed ml prompts where Marinette's classmates sudden change in behavior is explained by Lila having low-level telepathy and mind control powers?

sorry it took so long to reply I meant to open this on my laptop and then completely forgot by the time it was turned on.

For this one I'm gonna go with no, since most fics along this vein are completel blowing the class's reactions to Lila out of proportion to bash them. Despite what many class-bashing prompts want you to think, Marinette's classmates have not abandoned or betrayed her just because they're nice to Lila.

Hire .NET Developers: A Practical Guide to Machine Learning in .NET

Machine learning (ML) has become a transformative force in the realm of technology, allowing systems to learn and adapt from data without explicit programming. While traditionally associated with languages like Python and R, the .NET ecosystem has made significant strides in integrating machine learning capabilities, providing developers, including those you might want to hire .NET developers, with powerful tools for building intelligent applications. In this practical guide, we'll explore the landscape of machine learning in .NET, covering key libraries, frameworks, and practical examples to get you started on your machine learning journey. This is particularly relevant for businesses looking to expand their team and hire .NET developers with a skill set that extends to machine learning applications.

Understanding the Basics

Before delving into the specifics of machine learning in .NET, let's briefly touch upon the foundational concepts. Machine learning involves training models on data to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed. The process typically includes data collection, model training, evaluation, and deployment.

ML.NET: The Machine Learning Library for .NET

At the heart of .NET's machine learning capabilities lies ML.NET, an open-source and cross-platform machine learning framework developed by Microsoft. ML.NET is not only a powerful tool for incorporating machine learning into applications but also a valuable asset when seeking to hire .NET developers for your projects.

bash

dotnet add package Microsoft.ML

Building Your First Model

Let's dive into a simple example to understand how to build a basic ML.NET model. Consider a scenario where you want to predict housing prices based on features like square footage, number of bedrooms, and location. ML.NET uses a pipeline-based approach, making it intuitive for developers.

csharp

// Define a class to hold data

public class HouseData

{

public float Size { get; set; }

public int Bedrooms { get; set; }

public float Price { get; set; }

}

// Create an MLContext

var context = new MLContext();

// Load the data

var data = context.Data.LoadFromTextFile<HouseData>("path/to/your/data.csv", separatorChar: ',');

// Define the pipeline

var pipeline = context.Transforms.Conversion.MapValueToKey("Label", "Price")

.Append(context.Transforms.Concatenate("Features", "Size", "Bedrooms"))

.Append(context.Transforms.NormalizeMinMax("Features"))

.Append(context.Transforms.Conversion.MapKeyToValue("Price"));

// Train the model

var model = pipeline.Fit(data);

This simple example demonstrates loading data, defining features, and training a model using ML.NET's pipeline.

Integration with TensorFlow and ONNX

While ML.NET provides a broad set of capabilities, it also acknowledges the diversity of the machine learning landscape. Through TensorFlow and ONNX (Open Neural Network Exchange) integration, developers can leverage pre-trained models from popular frameworks seamlessly.

TensorFlow Integration

ML.NET's TensorFlow integration enables the use of TensorFlow models directly within .NET applications. This is particularly useful when you have a pre-trained TensorFlow model and want to incorporate it into your .NET project for tasks such as image recognition or natural language processing.

ONNX Support

ONNX is an open format for representing deep learning models. ML.NET's support for ONNX allows you to use models created in other frameworks like PyTorch or scikit-learn within your .NET applications, promoting interoperability across the machine learning ecosystem.

Model Evaluation and Metrics

Once you've trained your machine learning model, it's crucial to evaluate its performance. ML.NET provides various metrics for classification, regression, and clustering tasks, allowing you to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of your models. For businesses aiming to streamline this process and ensure optimal performance, it becomes imperative to consider the expertise of skilled professionals. This is where the role of experienced .NET developers comes into play.

When you hire .NET developers with proficiency in machine learning and ML.NET, you gain a strategic advantage in model evaluation and fine-tuning. Seasoned .NET developers possess the knowledge to interpret these metrics effectively, making informed decisions to enhance model accuracy and overall performance. Their expertise extends beyond just coding; they contribute significantly to the iterative process of refining machine learning models for optimal results.

Therefore, when evaluating the performance of your machine learning models in a .NET environment, considering the insights and contributions of expert .NET developers becomes a valuable asset. Their skill set ensures that your models not only meet performance expectations but also pave the way for continuous improvement. If you're looking to elevate your machine learning endeavors within the .NET ecosystem, don't hesitate to explore the option to hire .NET developers with a strong foundation in both development and machine learning evaluation.

csharp

var predictions = model.Transform(data);

var metrics = context.Regression.Evaluate(predictions);

Console.WriteLine($"R-Squared: {metrics.RSquared}");

Console.WriteLine($"Mean Absolute Error: {metrics.MeanAbsoluteError}");

These metrics provide insights into how well your model is performing on the given data.

Deployment Options

After successfully training and evaluating your model, the next step is deployment. ML.NET supports various deployment options, including integration with Azure Machine Learning for scalable and cloud-based solutions.

Conclusion

In this practical guide, we've scratched the surface of machine learning in .NET using the ML.NET framework. From understanding the basics to building and evaluating models, the .NET ecosystem offers a robust set of tools for developers venturing into the exciting field of machine learning. Whether you're working on predictive analytics, image recognition, or natural language processing, exploring the integration of machine learning in .NET opens up new possibilities for creating intelligent and adaptive applications.

Remember, the best way to master machine learning in .NET is through hands-on experience.

Understanding the Basics

ML.NET: The Machine Learning Library for .NET

Installation and Setup

bash

dotnet add package Microsoft.ML

Building Your First Model

csharp

// Define a class to hold data

public class HouseData

{

public float Size { get; set; }

public int Bedrooms { get; set; }

public float Price { get; set; }

}

// Create an MLContext

var context = new MLContext();

// Load the data

var data = context.Data.LoadFromTextFile<HouseData>("path/to/your/data.csv", separatorChar: ',');

// Define the pipeline

var pipeline = context.Transforms.Conversion.MapValueToKey("Label", "Price")

.Append(context.Transforms.Concatenate("Features", "Size", "Bedrooms"))

.Append(context.Transforms.NormalizeMinMax("Features"))

.Append(context.Transforms.Conversion.MapKeyToValue("Price"));

// Train the model

var model = pipeline.Fit(data);

This simple example demonstrates loading data, defining features, and training a model using ML.NET's pipeline.

Model Evaluation and Metrics

csharp

var predictions = model.Transform(data);

var metrics = context.Regression.Evaluate(predictions);

Console.WriteLine($"R-Squared: {metrics.RSquared}");

Console.WriteLine($"Mean Absolute Error: {metrics.MeanAbsoluteError}");

These metrics provide insights into how well your model is performing on the given data.

What is the weirdest AO3 tag combination that you've ever find for ml? Mine is Lilanete/Chlonette/daminette/felix(gdv)nette - Adrien bashing - Alya bashing - class bashing - Marinette deserve better. It's so weird because for me it feels like the author say something like "Marinette deserve better that's why I'm going to ship her with people who had harassed/bullied her" even weirder because it's not even in au setting.

...That's not unusual. At all. In the slightest.

To be fair, it's not just the ML Saltdom that does this - One of the most famous examples is the Harry Potter fandom. In fact, it coined some of the terms - Ron The Death Eater and Draco In Leather Pants. Ron the Death Eater referring to turning a canon good character into some horrible person for the purpose of making the audience hate them, and Draco in Leather Pants turning a canon... well, maybe not flat-out evil, but a not-great person, and downplaying their bad sides and exaggerating (or inventing) good qualities to make them more appealing. They're two sides of the same coin, and often go together.

(Oh, and they have those names in particular because of the tendency to turn Ron into an evil abusive asshole so that the saintly Malfoy can be Hermione's new boyfriend. Die For Our Ship is a pretty common cause of the phenomenon.)

I can't say I get it on an emotional level, I utterly despise Ron the Death Eater, especially when combined with Draco in Leather Pants. It just seems like some major Double Standards.

Usually in cases like this, everyone's personalities are erased or so fundamentally altered so they might as well be. The Chloe-Alya personality swap is a well-known thing, for instance.

I dunno, the best reasoning I can really give for why Marinette is specifically shipped with people who bullied her while bashing her canonical friends, is that if those bullies are bent so that they revolve around Marinette instead, then they can use their bullying and tormenting skills to punish everyone the author hates - bullying, hurting, and tormenting people for personal pleasure is generally fine in those kinds of stories, just so long as your fave is the one doing it. It's only bad if it's being done to the protagonist - Protagonist-Centered Morality at its finest. Plus Marinette's "enemies" are made to do horrible things so that they can supposedly "deserve" the punishment they've given. Though in rare cases, their canon actions aren't altered much, and it's just treated as deserved for Saltinette and her posse to do awful things to them anyway.

So yeah, I think it's mostly the idea of "make these people who have no qualms hurting others, totally revolve around helping someone they canonically don't care for or outright hate, so that they can bully the people the author WANTS to be bullied instead".

Are there any like, DC/ML fics that are actually good??? Most of them are Damian/Marinette fics that LOVE to bash Adrien and make him this horrible human being, treat Alya like she's the devil and say she's a horrible friend and maybe make the whole class mindless bullies too while they're at it. The whole thing breathes and lives in salt and I absolutely hate it because in theory it sounds so cool??? Imagine all of our teenaged super heros being best buddies with the Teen Titans or the Justice League, but nooooo we HAVE to make Damian be this perfect trophy boyfriend for Marinette or Mari be Bruce's kid and have a bunch of much cooler and better™ heroes

Like I'm BEGGING please someone make a good DC/ML fic I will do ANYTHING

I don't know any off hand so many of them are just all salt. There's probably a few buried in there.

I'd suggest filtering by date posted and look for pre-Chameleon fics.

MLB Salt Fic prompt

"You want petty? I'll show you petty."

Where after Marinette fails to reveal Lila as a liar, she is scorned by every member of the class, even Adrien waits until they all leave to give his "disappointed" speech and to call her petty. She responds with the above quote and walks out ready to rain hell on her class

Marinette uses every one of her connections, Jagged Stone, Clara Nightingale, the Waynes, Clark and Lois Kent and beyond and takes to social media

Post after post of what Lila has claimed, backed by proof of this being impossible, entire threads of what each member of the class did in "retribution" , the class is scorned by their idols, meanwhile Ladybug goes on live with Nadja

(Adrien, as Chat sees LB while the consequences come crashing down on the class, he pleads with her to try and save the class, to make everything "right" again only to be told off and have the ring taken right off his finger

Having just taken the Black Cat Ring back from Adrien, she publicly announces that none of her temp heroes will ever receive any Miraculous ever again

Shadowmoth tries to take advantage of this by akumatizing the entire class into The Akuma Class, a horrific blob monster with all their previous powers

But LB distributes the Miraculous to heroes she has been in contact with, The BatFamily, Young Justice, and assorted JL members

They take down the Class Akuma hard

And thats what happens when Marinette is truly petty

Marinette was on the ground, after having been shoved around by her classmates. Lila had been filling their heads with lies for weeks about how Marinette had been bullying her and hurting her after school. She had lit the match and the class had been taking revenge against their 'friend's' bully. As a last ditch effort, while they all ripped her homework, destroyed her belongings and sketchbook, and pushed her around, she tried to reveal Lila again. She had proof and an alibi for the most recent accusations. She yelled that she hadn't been out that night. She had even been babysitting for Alya and Nino so they could go on a date, but that seems to have slipped their minds in their rage.

When they were done, they left Marinette there bruised and surrounded by her destroyed things. She was numb, not quite processing what had just happened. When Adrien was still standing there, Marinette clung to hope that maybe now he would say it was time to do something. After all, Lila had just gotten her attacked. But her last tiny hope was snuffed out when Adrien went on and on about how disappointed he was that she had tried to reveal Lila again. Disappointed that she hadn't sat there quietly and let them hurt her. Marinette could hardly believe it, but she supposed that was more in character for him. All he cared about was the limited freedom his father gave him and standing up to Lila, even to help a friend, would endanger that so he wouldn't do it. Just as he finished his tirade, Marinette felt something inside her snap. "I am so disappointed in you Marinette. They would have stopped eventually, but now you have turned them all against you. If you had just stayed quiet, we could have all stayed friends. But you were too petty." Marinette stood up quickly, glaring at Adrien. "You want petty, Adrien? I'll show you petty."

Marinette was fuming. They had all betrayed her for some pretty words and promises that would never come. Meanwhile, Marinette could and would have easily helped them. But now they had burned that bridge, and Marinette would rain hell fire down on them. And she would be able to do it in a single night.

She jumped online and started posting on every social media she had. Post after post of not only Lila and her lies (with the proof that they were only lies), but also what the class had done to her. Photos of the bruises from the altercation. Of her destroyed homework and property. She showed everything, but that was only the start of her plan. If they thought that was mean, wait until they saw what happens next.

She also showed her parents what had happened, and they had initially wanted to press charges and have all of the class arrested for assault. And while Marinette was angry, she didn't want to send them to prison. Not yet anyway. They attack her again, and that could change. She convinced her parents to sue for damages instead. That way they are still held accountable, but they don't go to prison. Even as angry as she is, there is still a tiny seed of compassion in her for her old friends. But that was where the compassion ended.

She went back to her room and opened her laptop again, seeing that her posts and threads were quickly picking up steam and going viral. She could see her classmates trying to defend themselves in the comments, but it wasn't going well for them. Now on to the next phase of her plan. Her classmates had applied to many different internships and summer jobs with their top idols and most had gotten the positions. Lila had taken responsibility, saying she had called in some favors with her famous friends.

But the reality? The reality was that despite everything, when Marinette heard about the applications, she had reached out to her contacts and given glowing recommendations for her classmates. That is what had gotten them the internships and jobs. Not Lila, Marinette. And now, if Marinette could give that too them, she could take it away. She called everyone. Jagged, Clara, the Wayne family, Lois Lane, and many others from around the world. She told the story of what had happened several times that night, but it worked. They all agreed to pull her classmates from the accepted applicants and reject them.

And while she was talking with Bruce Wayne, she called in another favor. This time in regards to his more covert activities. She had a feeling that this plan of hers may result in an akuma, or more likely multiple akumas. Obviously she couldn't use any of her old temp. heroes if this happened. She had already been training with the Justice League and the covert team known as Young Justice. Several members of the two teams had been selected as new miraculous holders and were ready to come if needed. She hadn't thought she would need to use that offer until it was time to defeat Hawkmoth, but she called in the favor anyway. Bruce agreed and soon there would be a small team of heroes ready and waiting for the fallout that was sure to come.

For the final stage of her plan, she decided to reveal not just to the class, but to the whole city, that Lila had been lying. She went on the official Ladybug twitter account, and sent a message to Nadja asking for a live interview that very night. Nadja got back to her within a minute and agreed to have the interview in an hour. Ladybug wanting an interview was big news and the TV station was happy to oblige.

As Marinette made her way to the TV station as Ladybug, all over the city, her classmates were panicking. They had seen the posts and initially thought nothing of it. Who cared what Marinette thought, and then they really read the posts and saw the proof of Lila's lies and began to grow concerned. But they would apologize to Marinette and this would all blow over, it was just a single thread on Marinette's page, it wouldn't be a big deal. That was until they saw the posts going viral. People were commenting and sharing it everywhere, calling out the class on their behavior. And these weren't just random people call them out. These were big names in every major industry. Which just made it go more viral.

The class tried defending themselves in the comments, but no one was listening to them, or taking their sides. As far as people were concerned, they were horrible people who attacked Marinette for no good reason. Just as their panic began to reach their peak, the rejections started coming in. Programs and internships that had accepted them only weeks ago, now sent them letters rejecting them. The letters said that the person who had recommended them for the positions had come back and retracted their recommendations because they had attacked the person who gave the recommendations.

With growing horror, the class realized that not only was Lila a liar, but that Marinette had been the one with the connections that got them these positions. And she had taken no credit, letting Lila claim that it was her doing. And now everything was falling apart all around them. Adrien watched as the Gabriel brand stock tanked and his fans turned on him quickly for not defending Marinette. He hadn't thought Marinette had this kind of pull. But in a single evening she had ruined everything for the class. As if things couldn't get worse for them, everyone's TVs and phones that had been watching all of this unfold were now playing a special interview from Ladybug.

Adrien and the class watched in horror as Ladybug went on the record, clearly stating that not only had Lila lied about being her friend, but was also akumatized several times and was suspected of being a willing accomplice to Hawkmoth. Adrien knew he had to do something. This wasn't right, and LB should know that. But he could get her to stop. To change her mind, retract her statement about Lila being a liar, and get everything back to normal. He would have to throw Marinette under the bus on live TV to do that, but it was her own fault and he would try to make it up to her later. She would forgive him, and realize she was in the wrong eventually. So he transformed into Chat and raced to the station.

He got there just as they were wrapping up a commercial break. They were just about to go back on the air when he arrived. He rushed up to Ladybug and begged her to make things right. "I don't know what Marinette told you, but she must be exaggerating. This is too much and you know that. But there is still time to make this right again. We just have to tell everyone that what Mrs. Bustier's class did was justified and Marinette was the real aggressor. Then everything will go back to normal." He had expected Ladybug to agree, but instead she simply glared at him, before grabbing his arm and yanking off the ring.

Adrien was stunned and yelled at her, demanding the ring back. The TV crew stood in shock, forgetting to get prepared to return to air. "Adrien. Of course it was you, I should have known. No I will not say any such thing. I'm not a coward like you. I know when to stand up and say enough. That class made their bed and now they have to lie in it. They don't get to torment people and expect everything to just go away. Now they will suffer the consequences of their own actions."

With that, Ladybug went back to the interview, which just returned to air. Nadja was still stunned, so Ladybug took the lead. "I have just retrieved the Black Cat Miraculous from Chat Noir. He was unworthy of wearing it and has since been retired. And this goes for all of the temporary heroes as well. They are all retired. If I can't trust them to have my back, then they don't deserve a miraculous. They will never again wear a miraculous." She of course didn't mean Luka or Kagami, they hadn't done anything. She would reach out to them individually to tell them in person, and help them come up with new hero personas so no one was suspicious.

Just as the interview ended, the akuma alarm went off. Just as she expected. Ladybug left the stunned studio crew behind and rushed outside where she saw a grotesque amalgamation of her classmates' akuma forms. Hawkmoth had sensed the growing despair from them all, from Lila being revealed to the city, and the class' world falling apart, and took advantage of the situation. For once, he felt grateful to Ladybug, sure her announcement had something to do with this. Not that he could make out much, with so many minds under his control at once. But one thing was clear. They wanted to go after Marinette. She caused all of this tonight, and they were placing their anger on her. And Hawkmoth would be happy to oblige.

But it wouldn't last long. Thanks to Marinette planning ahead, she went to where the zeta tube let out and found her back up there. Several heroes like Aqualad, Nightwing, Super Boy, Miss Martian, Beast Boy, and many others all stood waiting. She gave them all a miraculous that they had practiced with previously, and gave Aqualad the Black Cat miraculous, thinking his cool headed nature would help keep its destructive power in check. With her new team by her side, they faced the villain they decided just to call Amalgamation.

Within a few minutes, they had defeated the group akuma. When she worked with a real, practiced, team of heroes, it wasn't nearly as hard to do. She should have done this ages ago. The class was deakumatized and Ladybug didn't give them the time of day. She and her team simply left. She retrieved the miraculous and the heroes went home. Meanwhile, Marinette got to watch the fallout. The class was in shambles and desperately tried to apologize to Marinette the next day, but she didn't listen to any of them. They had lost out on jobs, internships, their futures in their favorite industries were in question, and they got slapped with a hefty lawsuit for the damage they had done to Marinette's property the day before. Everything was ruined. They had wanted petty? Well they got it. And this is what happens when Marinette gets petty.
