Hi there 👋

In the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, one critical gap became apparent to me as I was helping my friend’s startup locate data for training their multimodal model: the scarcity of high-quality conversational audio datasets. Existing datasets often fall short in several key areas: Content of conversations: Most available datasets consist assistant-user exchanges that don’t capture the complexity and subject matter of real-world dialogues. Audio-text alignment: There’s a lack of datasets that provide both high-quality audio and accurately transcribed text, perfectly aligned....

Magic: The Gathering (MTG) has always fascinated me with its complexity and strategic depth, thanks to its extensive rulebook and vast array of unique cards. Despite the game’s popularity, AI systems specifically designed for MTG have been few and far between, often falling short due to their inability to accurately interpret the intricate rules and interactions between cards. This blog post chronicles my recent endeavor to bridge this gap with large language models (LLMs) by creating a specialized dataset and evaluation metric to improve AI performance in MTG-related tasks....
