| | title: "Gradio: Hassle-free sharing and testing of ML models in the wild" |
| | abstract: >- |
| | Accessibility is a major challenge of machine learning (ML). |
| | Typical ML models are built by specialists and require |
| | specialized hardware/software as well as ML experience to |
| | validate. This makes it challenging for non-technical |
| | collaborators and endpoint users (e.g. physicians) to easily |
| | provide feedback on model development and to gain trust in |
| | ML. The accessibility challenge also makes collaboration |
| | more difficult and limits the ML researcher's exposure to |
| | realistic data and scenarios that occur in the wild. To |
| | improve accessibility and facilitate collaboration, we |
| | developed an open-source Python package, Gradio, which |
| | allows researchers to rapidly generate a visual interface |
| | for their ML models. Gradio makes accessing any ML model as |
| | easy as sharing a URL. Our development of Gradio is informed |
| | by interviews with a number of machine learning researchers |
| | who participate in interdisciplinary collaborations. Their |
| | feedback identified that Gradio should support a variety of |
| | interfaces and frameworks, allow for easy sharing of the |
| | interface, allow for input manipulation and interactive |
| | inference by the domain expert, as well as allow embedding |
| | the interface in iPython notebooks. We developed these |
| | features and carried out a case study to understand Gradio's |
| | usefulness and usability in the setting of a machine |
| | learning collaboration between a researcher and a |
| | cardiologist. |
