What is ReproModel?

ReproModel is an innovative open-source toolbox designed to enhance the efficiency of AI research. It facilitates researchers in reproducing, comparing, training, and testing AI models faster and at lower computational costs. With its standardized models, data loaders, and processing procedures, ReproModel allows you to focus on developing new datasets and models.

Key Features

• Access to benchmark and state-of-the-art (SOTA) models and datasets
• Training visualizations and a method for easy code extraction
• LLM-powered automated methodology description writer
• Modular development and performance comparison across the research pipeline

How to Get Started

To begin using ReproModel, you have two primary options for running it locally: using Docker or from the source code. Here’s how to proceed:

Option 1: Using Docker

Ensure that you have Docker installed on your system. Follow these steps:

• Pull the Docker image:

  docker pull dsitnik1612/repromodel

• Run the container:

  docker run --name ReproModel -p 5173:5173 -p 6006:6006 -p 5005:5005 dsitnik1612/repromodel

• Open the frontend at http://localhost:5173.

Option 2: Running from Source Code

This method requires Node.js. Here’s how to set it up:

• Combine npm install, creation of a virtual environment, and launch:

  npm run repromodel              # Mac and Linux
  npm run repromodel-windows      # Windows

• For frontend only:

  npm install
  npm run dev

• For the Methodology Generator, install Ollama and run:

  npm install
  npm run repromodel-with-llm             # Mac and Linux
  npm run repromodel-with-llm-windows     # Windows

• Finally, open the frontend at http://localhost:5173.

Understanding ReproModel Through Analogy

Imagine you are a chef preparing a complex delicacy. Without the right tools and ingredients at your fingertips, the process can be laborious and inefficient. Similarly, ReproModel acts like a well-stocked kitchen, providing researchers with all the necessary resources—from standard recipes (models) to fresh ingredients (datasets)—to whip up their innovative AI solutions. Instead of struggling with each step, you can shift your focus to refining the dish (model development) which ultimately leads to more delicious outcomes in research.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues while using ReproModel, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Check your installation: Ensure Docker or Node.js is correctly installed on your machine.
• Ports in use: If the frontend does not open, make sure the specified ports (5173, 6006, 5005) are available.
• Dependency errors: For source runs, verify that all npm packages are correctly installed.
• Documentation: For detailed examples and further guidance, refer to the full documentation.
