+        triggers: List of triggers to listen to, e.g. [btn.click, number.change]. If None, will run on app load and changes to any inputs.
         fn: the function to call when this event is triggered. Often a machine learning model's prediction function. Each parameter of the function corresponds to one input component, and the function should return a single value or a tuple of values, with each element in the tuple corresponding to one output component.
         inputs: List of gradio.components to use as inputs. If the function takes no inputs, this should be an empty list.
         outputs: List of gradio.components to use as outputs. If the function returns no outputs, this should be an empty list.
