Open-Source Projects

1. A curated collection of introductory materials on machine learning systems: awesomeMLSys.

It collects a series of papers, videos, and codebases focused on attention mechanisms, performance optimization, quantization, long context lengths, and sparsity, among other topics.

2. An open-source tool based on LLM for OCR-scanned PDFs: LLM-Aided.

It aims to transform raw OCR-scanned PDF text into highly accurate, well-formatted, and easy-to-read Markdown documents by leveraging multimodal large language models (LLM).

GitHub: https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/llm_aided_ocr

Features include:

• PDF to Image: Uses pdf2image to convert PDFs into images, supporting specific page ranges.
• OCR Processing: Uses Tesseract for OCR processing, extracting text from images.
• Efficient Error Correction: OCR errors are corrected through LLM, which can use local LLM or APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic).
• Smart Text Chunking: Splits the full text into more manageable chunks while preserving natural sentence boundaries.
• Markdown Formatting: Converts the text into standard Markdown format.
• Quality Evaluation: Uses LLM to compare original OCR text and processed output, providing quality scores and explanations.

3. An automation tool based on GitHub Action: Product Hunt Daily Chinese Hotlist.

It automatically crawls and generates Markdown files of the top products on Product Hunt daily, helping everyone quickly view the daily Product Hunt hotlist.

GitHub: https://github.com/ViggoZ/producthunt-daily-hot

Features include:

• Automatic Data Retrieval: Automatically retrieves the top 30 products from Product Hunt every day.
• Keyword Generation: Generates simple and easy-to-understand Chinese keywords to help users better understand the product content.
• High-Quality Translation: Uses OpenAI's GPT-4 model for high-quality translation of product descriptions.
• Markdown File Generation: Generates Markdown files containing product data, keywords, and translated descriptions, making it easy to post on websites or other platforms.
• Daily Automation: Automatically generates and submits daily Markdown files through GitHub Actions.
• Configurable Workflow: Supports manual triggers or scheduled content generation via GitHub Actions.
• Flexible Customization: The script is easy to extend or modify, allowing for the inclusion of additional product details or adjustments to the file format.
