Speech models + LLMs = Magic

Speech-to-text models are the magic behind converting spoken language into written text. From dictating documents and emails to transcribing meetings, their applications are vast. Personally, I rely on this feature to send hands-free messages and control my smart home devices. While those everyday uses are great, I recently discovered an even more powerful application for speech-to-text. When you combine speech recognition with the power of LLMs, things get really interesting. We’re talking Q&A documents, meeting summaries, and even enhancing RAG models. ...

Solving Sudoku Puzzles with OpenCV

For my next project I wanted to build something that I have been planning to do for a long time. I love solving sudoku and I was really good at it. Yup, I was good. That was three years ago. By the time I got good at solving sudoku, it started to get boring for me and I decided to write my first sudoku solver – goSudoku. CLI Solution goSudoku is written in Go. The goal was to make a fast sudoku solver by improving on the basic back-tracking algorithm. (More on that below) ...

Learning ML

I’m no expert in AI/ML. I’m trying to self-learn and haven’t built anything significant, until now! To learn something, I need a problem to apply and practice what we learned. I was missing that. I didn’t have a use case for anything related to AI/ML and I wanted a pet project for AI/ML. The beginnings Yeah! Let’s talk about that. I started with this – Basic classification: Classify images of clothing. Yeah, why not. Jump into the deep end and figure out the basics as you progress. That has been my way of learning new things. This time, it did not work. My effort to learn ML and build a basic classification system spans 2-3 years 🤷🏾‍♂️. At the pace at which technology progresses, that’s a lifetime. ...

Mongo Express Middleware

I am super excited to share my latest open-source project with all of you — Mongo Express Middleware library! 💻 It all started with a fun weekend project where I was building APIs for a MongoDB database. I usually use Mongoose and mongoose-express-middleware, but I wanted to try something different and work with MongoDB directly this time. That’s when I realized I needed a library to handle the API layer, so I had to make a choice — find one or build one myself. And you know what I chose! 💪 ...
