Quickly create customizable UI components around your TensorFlow or PyTorch models, or even arbitrary Python functions. Mix and match components to support any combination of inputs and outputs. Gradio makes it easy for you to "play around" with your model in your browser by dragging-and-dropping in your own images (or pasting your own text, recording your own voice, etc.) and seeing what the model outputs. You can also generate a share link which allows anyone, anywhere to use the interface as the model continues to run on your machine. Our core library is free and open-source! Take a look:
Gradio is useful for:
- Creating demos of your machine learning code for clients / collaborators / users
- Getting feedback on model performance from users
- Debugging your model interactively during development
To get a sense of gradio, take a look at a few of these examples, and find more on our website: www.gradio.app.
pip install gradio
(you may need to replace pip with pip3 if you're running python3).
Gradio is very easy to use with your existing code. Here are a few working examples:
Let's start with a basic function (no machine learning yet!) that greets an input name. We'll wrap the function with a Text to Text interface.
import gradio as gr
def greet(name):
return "Hello " + name + "!"
gr.Interface(fn=greet, inputs="text", outputs="text").launch()The core Interface class is initialized with three parameters:
fn: the function to wrapinputs: the name of the input interfaceoutputs: the name of the output interface
Calling the launch() function of the Interface object produces the interface shown in image below. Click on the gif to go the live interface in our getting started page.
Now, let's do a machine learning example. We're going to wrap an
interface around the InceptionV3 image classifier, which we'll load
using Tensorflow! Since this is an image classification model, we will use the Image input interface.
We'll output a dictionary of labels and their corresponding confidence scores with the Label output
interface. (The original Inception Net architecture can be found here)
import gradio as gr
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
import requests
inception_net = tf.keras.applications.InceptionV3() # load the model
# Download human-readable labels for ImageNet.
response = requests.get("https://git.io/JJkYN")
labels = response.text.split("\n")
def classify_image(inp):
inp = inp.reshape((-1, 299, 299, 3))
inp = tf.keras.applications.inception_v3.preprocess_input(inp)
prediction = inception_net.predict(inp).flatten()
return {labels[i]: float(prediction[i]) for i in range(1000)}
image = gr.inputs.Image(shape=(299, 299, 3))
label = gr.outputs.Label(num_top_classes=3)
gr.Interface(fn=classify_image, inputs=image, outputs=label).launch()This code will produce the interface below. The interface gives you a way to test
Inception Net by dragging and dropping images, and also allows you to use naturally modify the input image using image editing tools that
appear when you click EDIT. Notice here we provided actual gradio.inputs and gradio.outputs objects to the Interface
function instead of using string shortcuts. This lets us use built-in preprocessing (e.g. image resizing)
and postprocessing (e.g. choosing the number of labels to display) provided by these
interfaces.
You can supply your own model instead of the pretrained model above, as well as use different kinds of models or functions. Here's a list of the interfaces we currently support, along with their preprocessing / postprocessing parameters:
Input Interfaces:
Sketchpad(shape=(28, 28), invert_colors=True, flatten=False, scale=1/255, shift=0, dtype='float64')Webcam(image_width=224, image_height=224, num_channels=3, label=None)Textbox(lines=1, placeholder=None, label=None, numeric=False)Radio(choices, label=None)Dropdown(choices, label=None)CheckboxGroup(choices, label=None)Slider(minimum=0, maximum=100, default=None, label=None)Image(shape=(224, 224, 3), image_mode='RGB', scale=1/127.5, shift=-1, label=None)Microphone()
Output Interfaces:
Label(num_top_classes=None, label=None)KeyValues(label=None)Textbox(lines=1, placeholder=None, label=None)Image(label=None, plot=False)
Interfaces can also be combined together, for multiple-input or multiple-output models.
Let's wrap a fun Sketchpad-to-Label UI around MNIST. For this example, we'll take advantage of the live
feature in the library. Set live=True inside Interface()> to have it run continuous predictions.
We've abstracted the model training from the code below, but you can see the full code on the colab link.
import tensorflow as tf
import gradio as gr
from urllib.request import urlretrieve
urlretrieve("https://gr-models.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/mnist-model.h5","mnist-model.h5")
model = tf.keras.models.load_model("mnist-model.h5")
def recognize_digit(inp):
prediction = model.predict(inp.reshape(1, 28, 28, 1)).tolist()[0]
return {str(i): prediction[i] for i in range(10)}
sketchpad = gr.inputs.Sketchpad()
label = gr.outputs.Label(num_top_classes=3)
gr.Interface(fn=recognize_digit, inputs=sketchpad,
outputs=label, live=True).launch()This code will produce the interface below.
