## About

### What it is

This Space scores an illustration for how appealing it looks. You upload a picture and get three scores between 0 and 1. One reflects a single person's taste, and the other two come from AI judges whose opinions were distilled into small heads. All three read the same image embedding, so the heavy part runs once.

### Who it suits

It suits illustrators who are curious how a model rates their work, and people who sort large image sets and want a taste signal to rank them.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Illustration | Artists | See how a model rates a finished picture | Upload a drawing and read its three scores |
| Data curation | Machine learning engineers | Rank a large image set by taste | Score a folder of pictures with the command line tool |
| Research | Researchers | Compare how different judges agree and disagree | Compare the person's score with the two AI scores |
| Communities | Gallery curators | Add a taste signal when shortlisting pictures | Score a shortlist and look at the order |

Skip it if you want an objective measure of quality, since the page says each head reflects one consistent taste.

### Where to use it

- A browser: open the Space's page on Hugging Face, with nothing to install
- A copy on Windows, macOS or Linux, using Python
- A terminal, through the silva-scorer package and its command line tool

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Scoring one illustration | Artists | Three scores from 0 to 1 for the same picture |
| Ranking a set | Curators | A score for each image you run through the tool |
| Comparing judges | Researchers | Side by side scores from a person-trained head and two judge heads |

### How to set it up

The online copy needs nothing. For a copy on your own computer, you need the following.

- Python with pip on Windows, macOS or Linux
- The Hugging Face hub client, which the first step installs
- The packages listed in requirements.txt

1. Install the Hugging Face hub client.
2. Download the Space's files into a local folder.
3. Move into that folder.
4. Install Gradio.
5. Install the remaining packages from requirements.txt.
6. Start app.py.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download Jannchie/silva-aesthetic-demo --repo-type space --local-dir silva-aesthetic-demo
cd silva-aesthetic-demo
pip install gradio
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```

To score images from a terminal, install the package and run its tool on a file.

```bash
pip install "silva-scorer[backbone]"
silva score image.jpg --repo-id Jannchie/silva-aesthetic
```

### How to use it

In the Space, upload an illustration and read the three scores. The page says the first run after a cold start is slow because the backbone must load, which costs several tens of seconds on its free tier. Later runs are quick. In a terminal, use the tool as shown above.

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| silva score | Scores an image file with the head from the repository you name |
| Space page | Shows three scores for one uploaded illustration |

### Example

You upload a character illustration to the Space. After a short wait it shows three numbers between 0 and 1, one for the person's taste and two from the AI judges. The source gives no sample values.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new, upload one picture and wait for the first result, since the first run is the slowest. Then try a second picture and compare how the three scores differ.

If you know the field, a frozen SigLIP2 backbone turns the image into a 1152-dimension embedding, and small ordinal-regression heads of about 7 MB map it to calibrated scores. Each head is calibrated to one rater's 1 to 5 label distribution. Across 229,129 pictures the two judges agree closely with each other but only loosely with the person.

Spearman agreement the page reports

| Label | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Judge to judge | 0.825 |
| Judge to person, lower end | 0.45 |
| Judge to person, upper end | 0.48 |

You upload an illustration → The frozen backbone makes one embedding → Three small heads each read that embedding → You see three scores from 0 to 1

### Good to know

Read each score as one consistent taste, not a universal measure of quality.

- License: mit, as listed on Hugging Face
- Cost to run: no API key or paid service is named, and the online copy runs on cpu-basic hardware
- Data it reaches: the pictures you upload, which the online Space handles on Hugging Face's servers, and a local copy downloads the Space's files
- Not for: the source lists no exclusions, but the scores are not a universal measure of picture quality
