GSoC - Coding Period Week 8

Work Done This Week (July 26th to August 1st)

• Converted the DevoLearn Lineage Population model into ONNX.

• Defined the funtions needed to run the Lineage population model via the GUI.

• Ran tests on Localhost to ensure everything is in place.

• Created the required files for hosting the web-app online using Heroku.

  • Procfile - Procfile is a mechanism for declaring what commands are run by the heroku dyno.
  • setup.sh - this specifies the commands to be executed to configure the environment before running the app.
  • requirements.txt - lists the packages to be installed.

• The web app is now hosted online, feel free to try it out - https://devolearn-web-test.herokuapp.com/

• Link to Code - Github repository

Why did I not use Gradio for building the GUI?

• I could not find a way to host 3 different models in one web-app using Gradio.
• Using Gradio would have led to 3 different web links for the 3 models, which is not convenient.

Planned:

• Add content regarding the models in the web-app.
• Try to render interactive plots (using Plotly) in the GUI.
• Look into ways of running bulk inference using the web-GUI.
• Migrate the web-app to an official DevoLearn repository.
• Move from Travis CI to Github Actions.
• Release a new DevoLearn version.
• Update the DevoLearn starter notebook.
