Transcript generated by https://transcribe.hsv.ai So one of the other things we do as part of Huntsville AI is we make sure that when we talk about stuff, especially in our weekly meetups and stuff, we try to make sure everything is as public as it can be. We really don’t like people coming and giving… Read more: AI Hackathon Starter Kit

I was finally able to get the Streamlit app for the transcription approach to work with AWS Fargate. It was a LOT more complicated than I initially expected. It all makes sense now that I know how it works, but putting all the pieces together was tricky. Hopefully I can get the rest of the… Read more: Fun with AWS Fargate

At this meetup we walked through an exercise to try and put the speech to text application into a docker container and attach it to an AWS Lambda function that runs automatically when we add a video or audio to an S3 bucket.  In addition to the speech to text model, I’ve been working with… Read more: MLOps with AWS Lambda

This meetup covered an approach for using Hugging Face transformers to convert audio files to text transcriptions. We also went through an approach using DeepSpeech, but did not see any reasonable improvement in the transcript.

We have some really exciting stuff to cover this week! Even folks that aren’t into the in-depth side of AI should be interested to see how well this can be used to create text from a simple prompt. We will cover the process used to train this model using a collection of SBIR topics, using… Read more: Fine-tuning DistilGPT2 and Generating Text
