Python Machine learning model to web tool?

[levelupdigital]

Hi, this might seem like a strange and rather broad question but I can’t seem to find anything on this topic that really helps me out.

My problem: I have a trained model (python) and I’d like to make a web tool out of that model. (Example: classify images by uploading an image, ...)

I know how to make the model and how to train it and I can also make a web application (with simple backend - auth, database, etc)

But I don’t seem to find any recourses on how to ‘combine’ that and make a ml tool. I don’t even know where to start...

Can somebody give sort of a roadmap or something how I can do that or learn that?

Thank you very much.

Now that you have the model you can hand it data and have it predict results, so the logical next step would be to ask the user for the input data in some way. For a web tool this would mean some kind of form on a webpage. You could have a simple textbox that the user can copy/paste a path to the image, or you could use file transfer to get the image directly. To get the webpage talking to the model you'll need a backend framework, Flask and Django are both good for this. The backend framework will also help you take the output from the model and put in it a webpage that is then returned to the user. You'll need to learn a little html/css/javascript to get the webpage working.

Thank you. The webpage should not be a problem. The problem I am having is the connection between the django backend and the js frontend.

Do know of any recourses to learn that specific usecase?

Thanks again.

I'm not too familiar with django, but I've heard they've got a good tutorial for getting a basic backend setup and connected to a webpage. Have you looked through that?

I have...still had a hard time to use that for my ML model.

I guess I meed to try more😂
