The Gradio Blocks Party contest, announced at the same time Gradio 3.0 was released to celebrate the new Blocks feature for demo page building, has concluded and the winners have been announced.
The contest itself was for ML enthusiasts to show off what they've been working on by building demo pages with the new Gradio Blocks system, and hosting them on Hugging Face Spaces. According to the prize list, winners are decided by how many likes they have on their projects, meaning it was the community's decision who was most deserving of the win.
The still-updating leaderboard is available here, but the final list in this post is based on the tweet thread here:
The top 5 winners for the Gradio Blocks Party contest
FIFTH PLACE: StyleGAN-NADA
The StyleGAN-NADA demo lets you upload an image of a person's face and generate a modified version of it, in a total of 33 different styles (including Van Gogh, Disney Princess, Anime, Crochet, Shrek, and many others) with extra customization options like smile and age.
You can create standalone images or even compile them into a generated video morphing between selected styles.
FOURTH PLACE: GPTJ
The GPTJ demo lets you enter a keyword from which it generates a poem. Then, you can generate an image to match the poem. While some results are nonsensical, it works beyond even just prompts in English. Here are a few examples I generated:
THIRD PLACE: WordsToSQL
The WordsToSQL demo lets you convert natural language into SQL queries. You can get pretty specific with it too, and it'll put out just the SQL code you need.
SECOND PLACE: Ask Questions to YouTube
The Ask Questions to YouTube demo lets you provide a YouTube video link and ask a question. The model will read the transcript of the video and give you it's top two best guess timestamps to where it thinks your question is answered. Here I link it this video on Super Mario Bros. speedrunning by Summoning Salt and ask it what the world record time is:
FIRST PLACE: Story and Video Generation
The Story and Video Generation demo lets you provide a prompt to be extended into a short few-sentence story in a selected genre. Once the story is generated, you can generate a series of images, which can then be fed into a video which interpolates from one image to the next. Here's one of my results on the "horror" genre:
