🎯 Next Steps

1. Update README with Your Information

Replace placeholders in README.md:

# Update this line (around line 13):
[πŸš€ Live Demo](#) 
# Change to:
[πŸš€ Live Demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR-USERNAME/vit-auditing-toolkit)

# Update email (around line 489):
dyra12@example.com
# Change to your actual email

2. Add Screenshots

Take screenshots of your running app and replace placeholders:

# Around lines 38-48 in README.md
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/..." alt="..."/>
# Replace with:
<img src="/spaces/Dyra1204/ViT-Auditing-Toolkit/resolve/main/docs/images/basic_explainability.png" alt="..."/>

Create a docs/images/ directory and add:

  • basic_explainability.png - Screenshot of Tab 1
  • counterfactual_analysis.png - Screenshot of Tab 2
  • calibration_bias.png - Screenshot of Tabs 3 & 4
  • dashboard_overview.png - Full dashboard view

3. Test the Application

# Quick smoke test (2 minutes)
python app.py

# In browser (http://localhost:7860):
# - Load ViT-Base model
# - Test one image from each examples/ subdirectory
# - Verify all tabs work

# Full testing (30 minutes)
# Follow TESTING.md for comprehensive test suite

4. Deploy to Hugging Face Spaces

# Create a new Space on Hugging Face
# 1. Go to https://huggingface.co/spaces
