Live demo
Upload a bird photo, watch the model decide
The trained ResNet18 checkpoint is too large to ship with this static site, so the live demo runs on a free Hugging Face Space and is embedded below.
What the demo shows
- Predicted class (landbird vs. waterbird) and confidence.
- The Grad-CAM heatmap overlaid on the uploaded image.
- The 60% center-crop foreground heuristic as a white box.
- The foreground / background saliency split (= attention bias).
Helpful test images
For the most informative demo, try:
- A photo of a landbird perched on grass.
- A photo of a duck on water.
- A waterbird photoshopped onto a forest background.
- A landbird with a strong blue background — to surface the shortcut.
