Interesting Projects, Tools and Libraries

codon
A high-performance, zero-overhead, extensible Python compiler using LLVM.

Pynimate
Python package for statistical data animations.

Pynecone
Web apps in pure Python.

LaViLa
LaViLa (Language augmented Video Language Pretraining) is a new approach to learning video representations from Large Language Models (LLMs). We repurpose LLMs to be visually conditioned "Narrators", and use them to automatically generate video-language paired data. We use this data to then learn a video-langauge representation, outperforming prior work by large margins.
