Basilica uses a technique called “embedding” to transform high-dimensional data into usable features. It’s similar to other embeddings you may be familiar with, like word2vec

The main new features are:

• GroupBy translation
• Lazy loading
• Parameters in entity constructors
• Value conversion
• Query types
• Data seeding
• System.Transactions support 

the major features we have planned for the 2.1 release: GroupBy translation, lazy loading, parameters in entity constructors, value conversion, query types, data seeding, System.Transactions support, among others. 

New features
- Lazy loading
- Parameters in entity constructors
- Value conversions
- LINQ GroupBy translation
- Data Seeding
- Query types
- Include for derived types
- System.Transactions support
