hey man

the project is good

@keen solstice

[keen solstice]

Thank you 🙏🏽

Do you have any recommendations?

[versed wyvern]

AI API
does not have anything to do with ai

also why is this an api? it could easily be a lib

[sweet skiff]

It's a bit weird that you define the same code in two __init__.py files and also it's confusing that you used them for code at all

[keen solstice]

It has an api so the server can connect it to the android app. Building an api allows me to build the site through it and the app all in one instead of coding the routes into the main files.

The flask server implements rudimentary fuzzy matching in the ai_services.py to sort the best metadata. To take it to the next level I'm considering PyTorch. As the server collects more metadata from people using the app or website, it'll have more data to build a proper model around.

The app also runs without a database. Just simple I/O. Having the route originally built in the main.py made it easier to build an api from it and expand the scope of the project to my end goal.

Is my thought process that bad?

[keen solstice]

This project is an ongoing process of restructuring. I will check into the duplicate __init__.py and see if they serve any purpose. Thank you!

[versed wyvern]

i dont really understand your first point :P
is it like, a portability thing?

rudimentary fuzzy matching
last i checked, fuzzy matching has nothing to do with ai

The app also runs without a database
i dont see why an app that checks metadata of a file they already have would need a database...

[keen solstice]

Did you not notice the android app? The whole system is built around a simple website to upload, process, and download. The other side is having an app that utilizes the same code. I don't think there is another way I ould have done this without an api. Personally, I'm proud of myself far getting this far with it.

Google: is fuzzy matching machine learning

Exactly, I just need routes to process the data and return it to the user. In that case I may as well have one file that does all the routing and utilize it as an api for the app and website.

I want to collect as much data as possible, so getting it on as many platforms as possible is the best case. The android app is a baseline.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

guess what, it mentions nothing about ai or macchine learning

[keen solstice]

I promise... just google it...

[versed wyvern]

... i did

[versed wyvern]

also looking into the ccode of fuzzywuzzy, and its dependencies difflib and python-Levenshtein, none of them use ai at all

[sweet skiff]

Fuzzy matching is not AI confirmed

Calling it AI is just weird

[versed wyvern]

i really wouldn't trust an ai to inform me about shit

[sweet skiff]

Well trusting the Internet blindly is not recommended

If you put AI on your resume after this project any company interviewing you that asks about it would giggle

[keen solstice]

Brothers in Christ, fuzzy matching is an element of AI

My guy... I'm just learning and doing my best

[sweet skiff]

An element of AI is not, in itself, AI

[versed wyvern]

linalg is ai confirmed

[keen solstice]

Right, but it is an ai based algorithm

It does in fact return the correct metadata based on multiple api calls

No prior info

[versed wyvern]

that would suggest it isn't ai

[sweet skiff]

Algebra is an element of AI. Just because I know algebra doesn't mean I know AI

[keen solstice]

We can argue semantics all day, but it works

Hate it or love it, it works, and it's just getting started

[versed wyvern]

i can't really give false advertising and say "we can argue semantics all day, but it works"

[keen solstice]

I haven't even built a backup system yet, but that is coming as well

[sweet skiff]

Is a backup system AI?

[keen solstice]

I don't really understand why you are trying so hard to disprove something that works just because you don't agree with the methodology, but that is your prerogative...

I said I'm going to be building a model with pytorch in the future

Right now, the rudimentary fuzzy matching works, but it needs more options

That's why the whole system is modular

[versed wyvern]

i... dont disagree with the methodology?

i disagree the part that it says it does something when it doesnt

[keen solstice]

It does

[versed wyvern]

please elaborate

[keen solstice]

Logically breakdown how a user can input their music file into an app that just has a name, no metadata, and no prior knowledge or reference point, and find the correct tags without any user input.

[versed wyvern]

right, and now we're going in circles

imma leave now

[keen solstice]

We aren't. It's rudimentary ai. Hate it or love it, it works. Peace out ✌🏽
