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.
