Swin Transformers

Swin Transformers

Lets you try a Swin Transformer image model from keras-io in a Gradio page, with example pictures included. Aimed at students and developers who want to see a vision transformer work.

Made by keras-io on Hugging Face. These notes are Mindket's, written from its Space page and README; the app's own files and license are on Hugging Face.

About

What it is: This Gradio demo from keras-io wraps one model, keras-io/swin-transformers. The repository ships four example pictures, so it looks like an image classifier you can try right away. You use it in a browser, or you run a copy on your own computer.

Who it suits: It suits students and developers who want to see a Swin Transformer at work before they read model code. Teachers can show it as a live demo.

Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example
Education | Deep learning students | Test a vision transformer without writing code | Open the Space and pick one of the example pictures
Research | Machine learning researchers | See how a finished model is wired into a demo | Read app.py next to the model name
Software | Python developers | Run a copy locally and adapt it | Download the Space and start app.py

Skip it if you need a training script or a general image tool, because this Space only wraps one model.

Where to use it:

• A web browser: go to the Space on Hugging Face and try it with no install
• Windows, macOS or Linux: run a copy with Python

Use case | Who | What they get back
Try the model | Students | The model's answer on the page for the picture they pick
Read the code | Developers | The app.py file that connects the model to a Gradio page
Teach with it | Instructors | A demo they can run on their own computer

How to set it up: You need a few things in place first.

• Python with pip, on Windows, macOS or Linux
• An internet connection to fetch the files from Hugging Face

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package.
2. Download the Space into a local folder.
3. Move into that folder.
4. Install Gradio and the packages listed in requirements.txt.
5. Start the app.

pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download keras-io/Swin-transformers --repo-type space --local-dir Swin-transformers
cd Swin-transformers
pip install gradio
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py

How to use it: Online, use the Gradio interface the Space page shows. On your own computer, run the main file from the project folder and open the page it serves in your browser.

python app.py

Example: You run python app.py inside the project folder. The Gradio page starts, you give it a picture such as the dog or the ship from the repository, and the page shows what the model returns for it.

For newcomers and experts: If this is new to you, start online. Go to the Space and try one of the example pictures before you install anything. It is the quickest way to see a vision transformer working.

If you know the field, note that the Space names a single model and app.py loads it. Swin Transformers are a vision transformer design. This Space looks like inference only, going by its listed files, so it shows no training and gives no accuracy figures.

Open the Space or run app.py
The Gradio page loads
You give it a picture
The named model scores it
The result appears on the page

Good to know: The source gives no accuracy numbers or training details, so test it on your own pictures before you rely on it.

• Cost to run: none named, no API key, account or paid service
• Data it reaches: the files in the repository and the model it names, with nothing else listed
