This feature allows on-device and fast wake-up phrase customization. Once enabled, it recognizes the user's custom command in real-time with high accuracy.

It was a privilege to be part of this project as a senior machine learning engineer and the focal point person at SiDi, Brazil. I worked on reproducing relevant AI and speech-processing research papers and implementing modular and scalable code bases for quickly training and evaluating new ML models. I also developed efficient pipelines for data loading, formatting, and augmentation and conducted brainstorms and technical discussions with the responsible Samsung team in Korea.

Samsung Galaxy's Camera Voice Control Upgrade

https://techwelkin.com/camera-voice-control-enable-samsung-galaxy

Galaxy's camera voice control feature allows users to trigger Samsung's camera via voice; the feature is available in 14 languages.

As a machine learning engineer, I recently worked on upgrading this feature at SiDi, Brazil. My responsibilities included optimizing and compressing small-footprint deep learning models for keyword spotting. I led the development of a clean, modular, and scalable POC Android application, implemented its unit tests, and documented it for Samsung using UML diagrams and text reports.

SiDi KWS | Keyword Spotting Dataset

https://michel-meneses.github.io/sidi-kws/

The world's largest dataset for keyword spotting, with 24+ million labeled spoken words across four languages.

I proposed and led the development of this project along with a team of engineers. I set up Montreal Forced Aligner (MFA), implemented and ran KeywordMiner—an open-source Python system that uses MFA to align speech files with their respective transcripts and takes that info to export isolated words—and wrote the research paper presented at Interspeech 2022.

AutoMedia | Automatic Video Creation

https://youtu.be/H4TUAlCQTdU

AutoMedia is a Python application that automatically generates videos based on script output by ChatGPT. Its current implementation considers a "raking-video" template composed of an introduction section, followed by multiple ranking sections and a conclusion.

Given that template and the target video subject input by the user, AutoMedia employs ChatGPT and Google Images API to get the video script and the background images for each section, respectively. Moreover, it also uses an open-source TTS Python library to generate the speech included in the final video. Given that data (i.e., text script, images, and address), AutoMedia uses the MoviePy library to build the final video. As a plus, it also adds a pre-set background song. Its concept is similar to https://pictory.ai/

iModel | Virtual Try-on and Outlook Projection

https://youtu.be/7TZUyunnafs

iModel is a Web-based SaaS that allows users to generate realistic images of themselves on new outlooks based on target pictures of professional models. Its goal is to help users save precious time when deciding on buying beauty services. It runs a state-of-the-art generative AI model on a custom API exclusively designed for this project. I have developed iModel from scratch as a side project and introduced it to some beauty salons in Brazil.

To build iModel, I have used React, Next.js, and Chakra UI in the front-end. Its back-end corresponds to a Python API implemented with Flask and NGINX, which runs on an AWS EC2 instance. That API is responsible for receiving a selfie and target images input by the user, feeding a local generative AI model, and returning the resulting image to the client app. I have also used Firebase to handle user authentication and management, as well as data analytics and the hosting of the client app.

Automatic Bus Passengers Counting System

https://youtu.be/LxdM4vGCgjs/

A computer-vision system for counting bus passengers based on the video recordings obtained from vehicle cameras. Its goal is to automate fraud detection since the client—a leading public transportation company in Aracaju, Brazil—had employed a whole department to manually monitor and register such occurrences daily.

As the responsible engineer, I collected real-world recordings from the client fleet, labeled the data, and trained ML models to detect the passengers on each video frame and associate those objects across frames. This engagement resulted in a research paper on a new tracking algorithm, published in the Journal of Real-Time Image Processing by Springer Nature.

TensorFlow Lite—The Professional Course

https://tflite-tpc.kpages.online/nova-pagina-1a945327-1475-472b-a912-1c1e3e2c4542/

Because of the large size of the most successful machine learning models, AI-based mobile and embedding applications have relied on models stored on large remote servers. This brings many disadvantages to such applications, including the need for an internet connection, the latency caused by communication to the server, battery draining due to network connection, and sharing of user data.

To help engineers and scientists overcome these limitations, I co-authored an online course that demonstrates—with theoretical and practical examples—how to apply the most effective compression and optimization techniques to deploy state-of-the-art ML models 100% at the edge. The course goes beyond entry-level topics usually covered by most online tutorials on TensorFlow Lite. This course presents real Jupyter Notebooks and Android applications to illustrate the entire pipeline of model embedding and profiling used by industry professionals.

Low-cost Autonomous Navigation System Based on Optical Flow Classification

https://youtu.be/hzyKAGhQExg/

My final year undergraduate project involved developing an autonomous navigation system based on real-time obstacle detection via optical flow classification. This system was embedded into a real mobile robot controlled by a Raspberry Pi board.

During the first stage of this project, I built the vehicle using a robotics development kit for Arduino, along with a Raspberry Pi board fed by a portable power bank and connected to a USB camera. In the second stage, I used that vehicle to record POV videos while navigating in a lab with different obstacles. I used those videos to create a training dataset for an SVM classifier.

That classifier was fed with the magnitude and phase of optical-flow data points extracted from each frame in the video via the Lucas-Kanade algorithm implementation available in OpenCV. After training that model, I deployed it on the vehicle and evaluated its performance in avoiding new obstacles in real time while navigating in a lab.

This project resulted in the publication of a research paper and was named the Best Undergraduate Project Award at ERBASE 2017 by the Brazilian Computer Society in 2017.

On-device Image Classification via TensorFlow Lite

https://github.com/BytelandTechnologies/tflite-the-professional-course/

A public repository I created as supplemental material for TensorFlow Lite—The Professional Course. Its goal is to demonstrate the use of TensorFlow Lite for real-time deep-learning model inference on edge devices using Android.

This repository already contains two fully functional Android applications that classify images of dogs and flowers offline and in real-time. Both apps load pre-trained deep-learning models already converted into TFLite files. The execution flow of both apps covers the loading of an input image via the device's camera or file storage system, its preprocessing, its classification via deep-learning model inference, the post-processing of the prediction scores outputted by the model, and the UI update to show the classification result.

KeywordMiner Framework

https://github.com/michel-meneses/keyword-miner/

A Python framework for automatically segmenting single-spoken words from transcribed speech recordings via automatic forced alignment. Its modular design allows support for different formats of input datasets.

I led the development of this framework to generate SiDi KWS, the world's largest dataset of single-spoken words, with 24+ million samples across four languages. My responsibilities included modeling the framework via object-oriented programming and UML diagrams, specifying the interface between its modules, implementing its classes, and documenting its repository.

Great OpenCL Examples

https://github.com/michel-meneses/great-opencl-examples/

A GitHub repository that provides free, organized, ready-to-compile, and well-documented OpenCL C++ code examples.

OpenCL, or Open Computing Language, is a royalty-free framework for parallel programming of heterogeneous systems with different processing units, such as CPU, GPU, FPGA, and DSP. This repository serves as a reference for everyone interested in learning how to use OpenCL C++ to develop portable applications based on parallel computing. It was first created as a supplemental reference for the Hardware/Software Interface course offered by the computer science department of Universidade Federal de Sergipe during the first semester of 2019.
