Implementation Summary

Project Overview

AI Text Assistant - A Gradio-based web application that performs text generation and summarization with interactive token alternative visualization.

Requirements Met ✓

Core Functionality

• ✅ Two AI Models Integrated:

  • Text Generation: Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct

• ✅ User Interface:

  • Single text input field
  • Toggle/Radio button to switch between modes
  • Max tokens slider (10-500)
  • Process button
  • Results display area
  • Status indicator

• ✅ Token Alternatives Feature:

  • Mouse hover over generated words shows tooltip
  • Displays top 5 alternative tokens
  • Shows probability percentages for each alternative
  • Styled tooltips with smooth animations

• ✅ Input Validation:

  • Maximum 500 words limit enforced
  • Word counter implemented
  • Clear error messages

• ✅ Deployment Ready:

  • Configured for Hugging Face Spaces
  • README.md with metadata
  • requirements.txt with dependencies
  • .gitignore for clean repository

Key Features

1. Device Auto-Detection:

   • Automatically uses GPU if available
   • Falls back to CPU gracefully
   • Prints device info on startup

2. Token Probability Capture:

   • Uses output_scores=True in generation
   • Captures probability distributions for each token
   • Applies softmax to get probabilities
   • Extracts top-5 alternatives with torch.topk()

3. Interactive Tooltips:

   • Pure CSS tooltips (no JavaScript required)
   • Hover-activated with smooth transitions
   • Shows token text and probability
   • Visually appealing dark theme

4. Error Handling:

   • Input validation
   • Word count checking
   • Exception catching with user-friendly messages
   • Status updates throughout processing

Usage Flow

1. Launch Application

   • Models load automatically
   • Device detection (GPU/CPU)
   • UI becomes available

2. User Interaction

   • Select mode (Text Generation or Summarization)
   • Enter text (max 500 words)
   • Adjust max tokens slider
   • Click "Process"

3. Processing

   • Input validation
   • Model inference with score capture
   • Token alternative extraction
   • HTML generation with tooltips

4. Results Display

   • Generated/summarized text shown
   • Hover over words to see alternatives
   • Status message indicates completion
   • Token count displayed

Testing Results

✅ Syntax Check: Passed ✅ Package Import: All dependencies available ✅ Model Loading: Qwen model tested successfully ✅ UI Rendering: Gradio interface works correctly

Next Steps for User

1. Local Testing (Optional):

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   python app.py
   

2. Deploy to Hugging Face Spaces:

   • Follow instructions in DEPLOYMENT.md
   • Should take 5-10 minutes for first deployment
   • Models will be cached after first run

3. Customization (Optional):

   • Adjust max token limits in code
   • Modify UI colors/styling
   • Add more sampling parameters
   • Switch to different models

Notes & Considerations

Design Decisions:

1. Greedy Decoding:

   • Used do_sample=False to ensure consistency
   • Shows what model "would have" chosen (top-5)
   • Could be extended to show actual sampled alternatives

2. Word-Token Mapping:

   • Simple space-based word splitting for display
   • More sophisticated tokenization possible
   • Trade-off between simplicity and accuracy

3. Local Inference vs API:

   • Implemented local inference as specified
   • Provides full control over generation parameters
   • Token probabilities available directly

4. Tooltip Implementation:

   • Pure CSS for reliability
   • No JavaScript dependencies
   • Works across all browsers

Potential Enhancements:

• Add temperature/top-p/top-k controls
• Show actual token boundaries vs words
• Add batch processing for multiple inputs
• Implement caching for repeated queries
• Add export functionality (copy/download)
• Support for longer inputs (chunking)
• Real-time generation streaming
• Compare outputs from both models

Conclusion

All requirements from assignment.md have been successfully implemented. The application is ready for deployment to Hugging Face Spaces and provides an intuitive interface for exploring how language models make token prediction decisions.
