Hosting a pre-trained ML Model in Azure Functions #569

Hi,

ML.NET + Azure Functions seems like the perfect combination. There's only one problem; ML.NET is x64 and Functions is x86. There is an x64 version of Functions available https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-core-tools/releases but there is no documentation on how to set it up locally or configure it in Azure.

I have many scenarios where we'd like to process incoming data / files using ML.NET pre-trained models (I've been working on a sample that combines Cognitive Services OCR to extract bank transactions from screengrabs, and then uses a ML.NET model for classifying the bank transactions into spend categories, but it all falls down when you try and host the model in Functions). when you combine them with Function Bindings to automatically run when new data is added.

Have you ever tried this hosting scenario? Can you reach out to the Functions team internally (I've raised the question, but have got no response)?

It seems like the perfect combination of technologies - but frustratingly it just doesn't work (yet).
