Hello everyone!

I’m exploring ways to perform Image Quality Assessment (IQA) in Elixir and came across NIMA as a potential solution. However, I couldn’t find a plug-and-play model on Hugging Face that I could directly integrate.

After researching alternatives, I found BRISQUE and considered fine-tuning a general model like “google/vit-base-patch16-224” for this task. My main challenge is understanding how feasible it is to implement this entirely within Elixir. I want to serve the model from my elixir app, but my knowledge is limited when it comes to training models from scratch or deep knowledge about deep learning and machine learning methods in general.

Ideally, I’d love a solution similar to Livebook examples—something I can easily load and use. Does anyone have guidance on how to approach this? Any recommended models, libraries, or workflows that would fit within the Elixir ecosystem?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

and example of what I will like to implement in elixir: Image Quality Detection API: Sharpness, Bluriness, Contrast and Brightness

Thanks in advance!
