Building Owly an AI Comic Video Generator For My Son

Utilising the fine-tuned Stable Diffusion 2.1 on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, I developed an AI tech called Owly that crafts personalised comic videos with music, starring my son’s toys as the lead characters — Every evening, it has become a cherished routine to share bedtime stories with my 4-year-old son Dexie, who absolutely adores them. His collection of books is impressive, but he’s especially captivated when I create tales from scratch. Crafting stories this way also allows me to incorporate moral values I want…

Track, manage, discover and reuse AI models better using Amazon SageMaker Model Registry

Model registry is a centralised repository to store our models. Why do we need one? Why can we not just store them on our laptop? We take a walk through a Machine Learning Development Life Cycle (MLDLC) to answer these questions — Searchable centralised storage MLDLC consists of two phases: experimentation followed by product-ionisation. During experimentation, data scientists build many models using different datasets, algorithms and hyper-parameters with the goal of finding the best model. In their Jupyter notebook, they record the metrics for each model and comment on what they learn about it. Should…

Making My Toddler’s Dream of Flying Come True with AI Tech

Using a pose estimation model, an object detection model built using Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, a gesture recognition system and a 3D game engine written in OpenGL running on an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier, I built Griffin, a game that let my toddler use his body to fly as an eagle in a fantasy 3D world. — My wife and I have a super active 2.5-year-old boy named Dexie. He loves animals, and one of his favourites is the eagle — he often cruises around the house pretending to fly like one.

Building Jarvis, the Generative Chatbot with an Attitude

I used a Neural Machine Translation model trained on Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Polly, Google Speech API, and an audio routing tool, to build Jarvis — a chatbot who can talk to you in a video conference call. — Carsales.com, the company I work for, is holding a hackathon event. This is an annual event where everyone (tech or non tech) comes together to form a team and build anything — anything at all. Well, preferably you would build something that has a business purpose, but it is really…
