Your pull request needs to reference a filed issue. Please fill in the template that is populated for the pull request. Only pull requests addressing small typos can have no issues associated with them.

An ML.NET team member will be assigned to your pull request once the continuous integration checks have passed successfully.

All commits in a pull request will be squashed to a single commit with the original creator as author.

Uploading datasets

Only datasets that allowed for public use for all purposes (including redistribution) can be uploaded to this repository.
To avoid the repository growing too large that it's not convenient to work with, the limit for an uploaded dataset file is 5 MB. Everything that is bigger should be downloaded programmatically on the first run of the app.
All datasets should be stored in datasets folder to allow reusing them by other examples.
If you are uploading a dataset, please add a section in datasets README file describing the original source and license.
