Hosting a demo on Hugging Face Spaces #2

Closed NimaBoscarino closed 1 year ago

NimaBoscarino commented 2 years ago

Hey there! Congrats on being accepted to ECCV 2022, this is an amazing project! Would there be any interest in publishing a demo on Hugging Face Spaces? I'm sure our users and the broader ML community would love to play around with this. The demo for ICON was really well received, and I imagine setting this up on Hugging Face would be pretty similar. I'm more than happy to guide you through it, and if you're interested I can also put in a request internally to assign a GPU to your demo.

Let me know if this is something that sounds interesting to you 😊

Hi there, thank you for your kind words and the suggestion! As an author, I am interested and would be honored to publish a demo on Hugging Face! I will discuss it with my co-authors.

In the mean time, I have some curiosities about HuggingFace demos. Since our CLIP-Actor is not a learning-based method (it is an optimization method that takes about 30min~1hour), is it still possible to publish a user-demo? I am kind of worried how the demo should work on the web. Hope I can hear some workaround or solution for it.

I will leave the comment ASAP after the meeting with co-authors. Thank you for the kind words, again!

That's a great question! I'll check with the team and I'll get back to you on that ASAP πŸ˜„

So an option could be to make a space that showcases the results without actually running any predictions. This space here does that, for example: https://huggingface.co/spaces/weizmannscience/text2live

Great! Thanks for your help! We would like to add a demo, similar to the example you gave here. I will finalize which samples to showcase by discussing with my co-authors.

In the meantime, can you give me what are the things we should prepare? (e.g., video formats)

Fantastic! Here are some things you can do:

And that should be it – let me know if you run into any issues!
