Python on Azure Functions

Status: GA : Please refer official documentation here

• Exploring Functions on AKS to use GPU's https://medium.com/@asavaritayal/azure-functions-on-kubernetes-75486225dac0

You can explore this repository but all of these samples are now moved officially into Azure Samples - Please refer official documentation.

Machine Learning with Functions

Sample 1 : Topic Modeling using Gensim

This sample demonstrates LDA topic modeling of Gutenberg books using Gensim/NLTK/Azure Python Storage SDK/ PyLDAVis Python libraries.

Try it out!

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d '{ "container_name" : "janeausten", "num_topics" : 20 }' https://gutenbergery.azurewebsites.net/api/TrainBookcode=mhu/Ihigx/0wgEtuyRybGDXRSah0vJ3wdsGT7rd2MMuuZOMCPFauqw==https://gutenbergbooks.blob.core.windows.net/janeaustenmodels/ldamodel.html

Performs the following tasks:

• On HttpTrigger, loads dataset from blob, cleans dataset (removes newlines and carriage returns etc)
• Sentence tokenizes it and removes stopwords (NLTK)
• Builds a dictionary using this data and feeds it to Gensim for topic modeling
• Runs 15 passes of modeling , num_topics we need is 20 (this is just a human readable number)
• Uses the model, dictionary, corpus and visualizes topics using PyLDAVis
• Supposed to lemmatize the words (see Gaps/Issues below)
• Outputs the visualized HTML (PyLDAVIS)

Sample 2 : Inferencing from Keras

Performs the following

Loads a pretrained Keras model from a local function app zip blob. Accepts image URL's and uses Keras model for inferencing. Takes in URL's of images that show camping gear, uses Keras model to predict classes for the gear.

Try it out!

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d '{"urls":["https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ab/66/90/ab669021ae492a7a53e3e7bcb8abf160.jpg","https://i.pinimg.com/236x/3b/c8/a6/3bc8a639ed669f6d9bf029bcf433d3fd--backpacking-packs-hydration-pack.jpg"]}' https://campidentify.azurewebsites.net/api/CampingGear

Sample 3 : Inferencing from Tensorflow

Performs the following

Loads an inception V3 uncompressed pretrained model Accepts image URL's and infers the image using a simple HTTP Trigger.

Try it out!

Python Functions on Azure Container Instance

Check out this example that performs time series based forecasting using Python on Functions inside ACI. https://github.com/priyaananthasankar/parseltongue/tree/master/PyFunctionsOnACI/ForecastingApp

parseltongue

This repository contains samples built with Azure Functions on Python (public preview) to infer/predict from ML models

Camping Gear

Predict the gear type of an image: e.g., boots, gloves, harness, jacket etc, given a model that is trained using Keras on multiple camping images.

LDA Modeling

Topic model Jane Austen's books or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books from Gutenberg database using Gensim and NTLK libraries and have a bit of fun exploring main characters via PyLDAVis

InceptionV3

Sample code to demonstrate InceptionV3 model loading through Tensorflow libraries
