Donut 🍩 - ChatGPT for Document AI

Donut - OCR-free Document Understanding Transformer. This ML model can process documents (images, scans) and return JSON structured info about the content. It works for different use cases: form understanding, visual question answering about the document, document image classification.

 

Best Platform for Python Apps Deployment - Hugging Face Spaces with Docker

I walk through Hugging Face Spaces Docker SDK deployment option. I was using it to deploy our Streamlit/Python app Sparrow. So far very happy with Spaces Docker SDK - simple setup, very stable and good runtime performance, HTTPS out of the box, content compression out of the box too.

 

File Upload/Download in Streamlit/Python

File upload/download is supported by Streamlit out of the box. There are a few hints to share about more effective file upload implementation. You will learn how to wrap the file upload widget with Streamlit form, use Submit button to confirm the upload and reinitialize the upload widget. Additionally, I will show you an example of how to download JSON file from the server with Streamlit download component.

 

Dependent UI Widgets in Streamlit/Python

This video explains how to implement dependent UI widgets refresh in Streamlit/Python, when the value changes. I'm using Streamlit Empty widget as a placeholder to update selectbox with a new entry, after the new file upload. Selectbox displays the list of uploaded files.

 

Invoice Annotation with Sparrow/Python

I explain our Streamlit component for invoice/receipt document annotation and labeling. It can be used either to create new annotations or review and edit existing ones. With this component you can add new annotations directly on top of the document image. Existing annotations can be resized/moved and values/labels assigned. 

This component is part of Sparrow - our open-source solution for data extraction from invoices/receipts with ML.

 

Responsive UI with Streamlit/Python

I explain how to get current UI width info in Streamlit and use this value to calculate number of columns to be generated for the form block. Streamlit is server side UI framework and it runs on Python.

 

Calling JavaScript from Streamlit/Python

Streamlit is Python framework, it helps to build UI with low code approach. Code runs on server and there is no functionality, which would allow to inject client side events with JavaScript. Luckily there is a 3rd-party Streamlit component, it allows to make JavaScript calls from server side Python code. Response from such JavaScript call is received within the same Streamlit execution, this makes it possible to use values returned from JavaScript in Python logic. In this example, I show one liner JavaScript call to get UI screen width, to be able to calculate layout structure adjustments in Python, based on the screen size.
