The function model family includes models of most any type: neural nets, DNNs, transforms, etc. These models learn by modification of the function(s) in the model rather than parametric.
The result is considerable savings in energy usage, one-shot streaming learning is a natural capability, cost is very low for these models and transparency/audit capabilities increase. Rollbacks are created and logged for any learning so learning can be reversed if needed. Many of these models using Kafka is a great option.
