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. |
