Companion web application for EQUINE^2: Establishing Quantified Uncertainty for Neural Networks

EQUINE Webapp

This is a web application utilizing EQUINE for neural network uncertainty quantification through a visual user interface. The webapp allows you to upload your own model and data, and let the server retrain the model with EQUINE. The visualization dashboard also allows you to analyze your samples and view uncertainty quantification visualizations to explain model uncertainty.

The EQUINE repository is here https://github.com/mit-ll-responsible-ai/equine

ScatterUQ at IEEE VIS 2023

We presented ScatterUQ at IEEE VIS 2023: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10360884

Our data and analysis script can be found in this release: https://github.com/mit-ll-responsible-ai/equine-webapp/releases/tag/ScatterUQ-VIS-2023-Data

Usage with Python and PyPI

You can install and run the equine-webapp as a command in your terminal with python. These commands create a new conda environment, activate the environment, install equine-webapp from PyPI, and start the equine-webapp which will be available at localhost:8080.

conda create --name my-environment-name python=3.10
conda activate my-environment-name
pip install equine-webapp
equine-webapp

Local Development

You can also develop the webapp locally in two ways:

1. Run equine-webapp as a locally installed package with local web files
2. Run equine-webapp with local Node.js/Next.js and Python/Flask development servers

Run equine-webapp as a locally installed package with local web files

1. Install node packages

cd client
npm i

2. Make a copy of client/.env.example and rename to client/.env.local. This new file should be git-ignored by default.

3. Build the local static web files

npm run build

4. Install the package locally from the root of the repo and run it

../
conda create --name equine-webapp python=3.10
conda activate equine-webapp
pip install -e .
equine-webapp

Run equine-webapp with local Node.js/Next.js and Python/Flask development servers

Node.js/Next.js Frontend Development Server

1. Make a copy of client/.env.example and rename to client/.env.local. This new file should be git-ignored by default.

2. Install node packages and start the development server

cd client
npm i
npm run dev

Frontend testing

npm run test

Python/Flask Development Server

Create a new Anaconda environment, activate it, install the requirements, and start the dev server

conda create --name equine-webapp python=3.10
conda activate equine-webapp
pip install -r requirements.txt
python start_dev_server.py

Python Testing

pip install pytest
python -m pytest
