10 Jul, 202410 Jul, 2024Mastering Digital Art with Stable DiffusionWriting a bookWriting about GenAI
Generative AI is a recent innovation, enabling computers to draw pictures—a truly groundbreaking idea. Without any programming knowledge, you can use various off-the-shelf tools to create images from a prompt. Some of these tools are online services you can subscribe to, while others, like Stable Diffusion, are free software you can download to your computer.
This ebook explains how to make Stable Diffusion work for you. You can provide a text prompt to create a picture or use another image as inspiration for your drawing idea. However, to create high-quality images effectively, you need to understand and adjust certain settings in Stable Diffusion.
Mastering Digital Art with Stable Diffusion is your gateway to learning Stable Diffusion and image generation AI in general. This ebook is written in the engaging and approachable style you are familiar with from Machine Learning Mastery.

18 Nov, 202318 Nov, 2023End of KaggleX Mentorship ProgramProviding mentorshipAutomatic speech recognition
It's hard to believe the KaggleX mentorship program is coming to an end. Over the past several weeks, I've had the pleasure of mentoring Sakshi as she took on the challenge of building an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system.
When we first started, Sakshi had a basic understanding of machine learning but lacked hands-on experience with ASR. Together, we outlined an ambitious project to build an end-to-end ASR pipeline using deep learning.
There were plenty of hurdles along the way. We spent many late nights debugging errors in the data preprocessing (loading MP3 in Kaggle) and model training code. Improving the performance metric was a tedious process of trial and error. But Sakshi never became discouraged. She routinely impressed me with her persistence and ability to quickly pick up new technical skills (Initially, she was lazy, but with time, she became super focused. )
In the end, we succeeded in building 2 ASR models and web applications that exceeded our initial expectations. The model performs well on noisy audio and recognizes a variety of speakers with high accuracy. The most important part was documenting the code and analysis. I think Sakshi is working on writing a Medium blog so that everyone can understand what went through in detail.
Participating in this mentorship program has been incredibly rewarding for both of us. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to mentor such a dedicated mentee. Sakshi is now well-equipped to continue pursuing her interests in speech and language processing. I have no doubt she has a bright future ahead.
