Machine Learning Engineer
Artificial Intelligence is a key towards revenue growth and understanding customers. Many day to day tasks gain substantially with machine learning applications.
Ability to classify an eye disease at an earlier stage, perform a risk assessment for loan applications, find a similar item in your e-commerce platform, identify an intruder into a PC based on keystroke and mouse dynamics, help with image editing task by segmenting people, dogs, food, or evaluate student essays automatically across wide range of topics, or automatically transcribe a podcast with your android phone in offline mode, or parse text information in PDFs and make them searchable, or do style transfer on e-state imagery to increase attractiveness, these and many other tasks were completed successfully to bring more value into already built products.

4. Text Summarization
Design
Product Idea
We are looking for someone that can create a NLP process on one of our development systems using Remote Desktop Connection. If you search for “Text Summarization Approaches for NLP — Practical Guide with Generative Examples” at machinelearningplus{dot}com you can see what I mean.
Requirements on the framework you will use is that it is open source and runs locally on a development system.
The process should be able to run on either CPU or GPU or both.
Goal:
Is to extract text summerauzations in correctly composed english sentences regarding available keywords (e.g. architect, build date, height, number of visitors per year) found in the source texts from several sources e.g. wikipedia source and others.
steps invloved: (should all be automated)
* based on a subject e.g. eifel tower. Take a frensh wikipedia page and other french information regarding that subject.
* Remove any non translatable and non relevant elements.
translate the sources to english.
* split the sources into paragraphs.
* combine paragraphs from both sources grouped on sub topic
* generate summerisations based on keywords. Result should be coherent english without duplicate or similar sentences
* translate the result to spanish and chinese using a good quality translator like google translate or better.
* store the results in 3 files on disk with a specific file name.
Development Roadmap
1. text summarization models
1. https://github.com/miso-belica/sumy
sumy lex-rank --length=10 --url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_summarization
a library for text summarization, lex-rank prints out most relevant sentences from the text.
https://github.com/miso-belica/sumy/blob/master/sumy/__main__.py#L55
lex-rank, lsa, lunh, kl-sum (all of the methods should work fast on CPU, but not that good as NN based ones)
wikipedia fetching is based on requests and some HTML parser in sumy
2. NN abstractive summarization
https://huggingface.co/deep-learning-analytics/wikihow-t5-small
https://huggingface.co/sshleifer/distilbart-cnn-12-6
both models has an example of summarization inference
https://huggingface.co/transformers/model_doc/gpt2.html?highlight=gpt%202
gpt-2 doesn't have an example of summarization directly
https://huggingface.co/transformers/model_doc/xlm.html
same for XLM as GPT-2
in general the question is what are RAM requirements, and CPU inference speed in case models are being used on some cheap cloud.
2. what's missing
1. some translation components, french<->english, english<->spanish, english<->chinese
2. aspect based summarization, like skewed towards a specified keyword
3. some ready-to-use UI for the app
4. proper estimates on the system throughput and deployment costs
5. HTTPS stack for Atmel (ATSAMD51J20)
Design
Product Idea
Need a working source code for HTTPS server and client service running on ATSAMD51J20 series microcontroller.
The HTTPS server and client source code itself must not rely on Atmel ASF or Atmel Start project.
The rest of the project source, including microcontroller IO, initialization, and sockets library may be based on either barebone or Atmel ASF/Start source.
The project cannot be written using FreeRTOS or any RTOS.
HTPS source must be based on State machine and callback logic.

2. well in general there’re some ready-to-use librarie. need to compile it and test on the device. not clear though what kind of product can be built. by default adafruit board is pretty general. It’s likely the device is to be used as a part of some IoT hardware.
To get a complete product, would require some hardware device design, and a clear justificiation what for to apply not FreeRTOS based solution.
6. Real Estate Accounting

accounts payable function
accounts receivable function
bank reconsiliation for 3 accounts

1.3. https://github.com/etewiah/awesome-real-estate
a typical awesome list, useful to revise for more relevant info on the field.
2. well, there’re some competitors, bloggers, ready-to-use github projects
didn’t review in detail payment functions, as well as banks integration.
but to start with should be enough to be build a prototype.
maybe makes sense to consider template development from scratch costs for the website.
for a software developer, there’s not much to do here without a detailed conversation with a customer
7. Printing Service with Color Density Control Feature
Design
Product Idea
Create tool to change color density of prints on the print server..
I need a tool that reduces the density of prints, where each printing made on the print server is subjected to a decrease in its density, in proportion to previously set values. It needs to be customizable.

6. https://github.com/qzind/tray/blob/15a7e38c4c0e5df4673c71a5368dc7f38bfa5190/js/qz-tray.js
in gneral qzind/tray has density configuration option.
So its either about underlying printer driver issue,
or some general misconfiguration of the tray software.
8. Custom game engine to make games similar Magic Arena
Design
Product Idea
Brief Project description
Implement a generic and extensible turn based card combat game engine with look and feel
similar to Magic Arena .
Ready to implement fantasy turn based games.

• Resource Management.
Development Roadmap
1. links
1. https://ycarowr.itch.io/cardgameui
a demo of cards UI, pretty basic, no game logic, based on unity
2. https://github.com/ycarowr/uicard
engine for the demo above, written in C#, is likely to be based on Unity.
3. https://github.com/manuel-777/mtg-arena-tool
Magic Arena analysis app, has a proper UI/UX. Need to research underlying algorithms.
As well as see what way it binds to Magic Arena game itself,
and what are the import/export options.
4. https://github.com/magefree/mage
a good open source implementation of Magic Arena like game, has rather ugly UI.
But underlying implementation has client/server, AI based bot.
5. https://itch.io/
a catalog of games, good to research UI/UX, features examples
6. https://magic.wizards.com/en
a good place for understanding the game itself
2. In general there’re some related parts to make a copy of the game. Require some more detailed development planning, since technologies are different for various parts. Maybe, its likely the development is to happen from scratch. Depends on the project budget. But to build a proof of concept within 1–2 weeks should be enough.
9. IoT sensors powered by Zephyr RTOS
Design
Product Idea
Zephyr RTOS and Device Tree Expert
This job requires someone who has deep knowledge of the Device Tree,
especially the one which is used by the Zephyr RTOS.
Development Roadmap
1. links
1. https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/guides/dts/howtos.html#troubleshoot-devicetree-issues
low level documentation on device tree configuration within Zephyr RTOS framework in C.
2. https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/search.html?q=device+tree&check_keywords=yes&area=default
a broader set of documentation on the subject, may research later on.
3. https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr
https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/boards/index.html
Apache 2.0 Licensing, should be ok for proprietary products.
supports quite many boards, is likely to be used for https project as well.
4. https://www.zephyrproject.org/the-rtos-for-the-future-of-the-iot-laird-connectivity-and-the-zephyr-project/
https://www.microcontrollertips.com/zephyr-open-source-rtos-iot-faq/
some more links on zephyr rtos, it’s likely it has been introduced in 2018
2. makes sense to discuss a particular project. since Zephyr is a general purpose framework for embedded devices. Among issues, is that most of the already present devices on the market should have a huge code base which is differernt per each device, and some industries may depend on it. That’s why porting everything to Zephyr can be idealistic. But as a single place of architecture ideas, and communication platform for open source IoT develoeprs. That’s good.
10. Voice recoginition system with AI/ML
Design
Product Idea
Specification as below:
1-user record his voice (read a spicific message for first time)
2-voice recording will be saved in database as reference with time/date
3-AI/ML to check the voice recording
4-That recording will be used for user authnetion and verification (new message will be displayed) and user need to say it, and code must know this is same user or not.
5-Backend aowkr with API only

10. https://espnet.github.io/espnet/
there’re quite many speech-to-text open source components to use.
an alternative is to integrate REST API based services.
Quite many companies provides this services for a quite a while.
2. Need to add:
1. voice identification component
2. some general solution architecture which includes all of the backend and frontend components
3. need to add some UI/UX examples to rely on
3. In general the task by itself is not good for a startup like product. That’s why it makes sense to discuss a prticular use case. Since quite likely just integration some rest api should solve the issues.
