Machine Learning
Welcome! You can use this site to tell the Azure Machine Learning team what features you would like to see.
Azure Machine Learning enables developers and data scientists to build advanced analytic web services in minutes and hours, eliminating the heavy lifting associated with deploying machine learning in modern data driven applications.

F# Support in Azure ML
Azure ML is great. I would like Azure ML to support F# -> with both the code sample gen (currently C#) and the script support (currently R).

We will continue to listen to feedback. It will help to provide specific business cases if you are supporting this feature.

Time series models
Would love to see a time series prediction model using a MultiClass Neural Net. Also, where's the N# documentation?

We are planning to roll out custom modules in gallery which will have modules for timeseries such as https://gallery.cortanaintelligence.com/Experiment/Time-Series-Forecasting-using-Custom-Modules-1

Add Package ‘Relaimpo’
This is a critical package in calculating the relative impact of the components in a multivariate regression model.

Azure ML support for DocumentDB
I wish to implement a project using the new DocumentDB service offered by Azure, which eventually I wish to apply machine learning on the dataset. However, I understand that Azure ML does not currently support ingressing from DocumentDB. Would Azure ML be supporting the ingressing of DocumentDB soon, as this would be the deciding factor on my decision on whether to use DocumentDB or not eventhough the DocumentDB is the ideal datastore implementation for the project. If Microsoft Azure ML be offering the same tight and first class integration for DocumentDB as it does for the other Microsoft datastore options,…

DocDB Reader work is underway.

C# Support in Azure ML
Support C# Execution modules. While R and Python are useful in certain situations, C# is useful also. Given the large number of developers who know C# as opposed to R, this opens custom modules to a much wider audience.

Enable odbc connection from "Excute python script" module
Odbc drivers are not installed on machines running the python script. Solving this will enable users to create their own Reader module by using their own business logic to access azure sql.

We have these packages available but the container technology for execute-R/Python prevents from using these packages. We are working on updating our container to be docker based container in future which will allow to use these packages

Allow reading line seperated json format from blob storage
We're using Stream analytics to write results in a line seperated json format, which is a standard for many other services, but it is impossible to read it from blob storage.
the workaround suggested will not help when using prediction experiment and getting the data from blob in a realtime manner61 votes -
Allow Azure Table Access with SAS Authentication
Currently only one storage account can be associated to an ML workspace, leaving SAS authentication as the only option to access other storage accounts. Nevertheless, testing the documented SAS access returns the comment:
[ModuleOutput] Azure Table with SAS Uri not implemented yet.
Implementing this feature, thus allowing access to multiple storage account, would widely increase the flexibility and applicability of ML to big data solutions.

Add LightGMB as a module within Studio ML
A lot of the newer Algos require R or Python scripts to execute. LightGMB was built within Microsoft. It would be great if this could be added as a module within Studio ML rather than requiring R or Python.

More Help on Error 0000: Internal Error's
I get lots of these. A little bit more help finding out how to rectify them would be useful. Mainly on the training steps. I suspect its too many columns, but can't tell. Can more information be surfaced in the error logs?

We continue to improve error. We have improved many errors and will continue to do more. This is ongoing activity for us

More flexibility for Support Vector Machines
In other machine learning tools, SVM supports different kernel functions, and each function may have additional parameters. I assume "Project to the unit-sphere" is a kernel function, but could not find a definition for that function.
A kernel I found useful in many cases was the Radial Basis Function (RBF, parameters C or lambda, gamma), but there are others. It would also be useful to allow defining a custom kernel function, for example with an R script (or whatever language is most appropriate for the SVM implementation used)

Multiple inputs for Evaluate Model (only 2 currently possible)
Would be easier to work with & compare multiple models. having to cross-pairing all models is too slow to design & hard to evaluate.
Even if the output when multiple models would have fewer features than the default 2 input evaluate. (ex: fewer visualization options, metrics) But at least a good subset of main evaluation metrics should be visible.

Azure ML Integration with Tableau, Qlikview & PowerBI
Many visual IDEs for Machine Learning are fast growing today.
They provide a way a mechanism to directly process data and enable consumption of data in popular BI tools. This should be done for Azure ML as well36 votesplanned ·

Support JSON for input/output
Several custom algorithms I use are designed expecting input in JSON format. This is ideal for integrating with a web service, but unfortunately ML Azure doesn't seem to support it.

JSON parsing is not yet implemented as a separate module. As a workaround for JSON parsing, you could use Execute R Script in following manner:
1. Compress the JSON file as zip package and upload to ML Studio as .zip format file.
2. Connect the .zip file to Execute R Script rightmost port
3. Execute following R script (replace “sample_json.txt” with your file name).
library(RJSONIO)
library(plyr)
data.set = ldply(fromJSON(content=“src/sample_json.txt”))
maml.mapOutputPort(“data.set”);Note that this assumes your JSON file holds an array of similar records.

Add support for Asociation (Market Basket) Analysis
This is such a basic algorithm, I can't believe this is missing from ML

Pre-install custom R packages
I want to expose an R package I wrote as a web service. Since it's a custom R package they docs say the install has to happen every time the user user my service.
There's going to be a lot of repetitive overhead going this route, Any chance I can pre-install my package so the user only has to consume using the web service?

Within Azure ML Python, provide opencv library access.
With respect to Python in Azure ML, could opencv library access be provided? Currently, 'import cv2' fails. I am aware there are opencv modules and API in Azure, but I need to train over my own data which are not human faces.
