Server API: Catch Glimpses of AI Magic

To enhance the functionality of our AI text-to-image generator, we've developed a custom API that handles image generation requests efficiently. Below is a snippet of the server API code that powers the back-end operations:

        
    
    import requests

    def download_image(prompt):
        url = f"https://imgelixpo.vercel.app/c/{prompt}" 
        response = requests.get(url)
        with open('generated_image.jpg', 'wb') as file:
            file.write(response.content)
        print('Image downloaded!')

        download_image("a beautiful garden")
        # write the prompt you want to generate an image for
    
    

You can also generate the images using Javascript language for easy integration with your websites. Just paste the code below in your <script> ... </script> of your HTML code to download a ready image from the prompt and also explore further.

        
        
    const prompt = "a beautiful garden";
    const url = `https://imgelixpo.vercel.app/c/${prompt}`;
    fetch(url)
        .then(response => response.blob())
        .then(blob => {
            const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
            const a = document.createElement('a');
            a.href = url;
            a.download = 'generated_image.jpg';
            document.body.appendChild(a);
            a.click();
            window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
        });
        
    

Here are the query parameters that can be used to customize the image generation process:

Server API Rate Limits are also implemented to ensure fair usage and prevent abuse of the system. Users can make a upto 10 Image Generation Request/Minute. This rate limit is enforced to maintain the stability and performance of the API, ensuring that all users have equal access to the image generation service. If the rate limit is exceeded then a Err (429) Rate Limit Reached will be thrown. It can be caught using try {()} .. catch {()} and reflected back on the front-end.

This code snippet demonstrates how to use the API to download an image based on a given prompt. While the URL is not valid yet, the function sends a GET request to fetch the image and saves it locally as generated_image.jpg. Which will be in jpg format.

The API endpoint is designed to handle a wide range of prompts, allowing users to experiment with different text inputs and explore the diverse visual outputs generated by our AI models. Apply the link below to see the models available for generation.

    #Endpoint to see the available models for prompting 
    curl https://imgelixpo.vercel.app/img/models

We also provide various themes for the generated images, such as "nature," "fantasy," "sci-fi," and more. Users can specify a theme in their prompts to guide the AI model in generating images that align with their desired visual style.

 


    #Endpoint to see the available themes for prompting
    curl https://imgelixpo.vercel.app/themes

We also support various aspect ratios for the generated images, such as "16:9," "4:3," "1:1," and more. Users can specify an aspect ratio in their prompts to guide the AI model in generating images that fit their desired dimensions.

The Technology Stack: Building the Foundation

Creating a cutting-edge text-to-image generator required a carefully selected blend of technologies, each chosen for its power, flexibility, and ability to handle the complex demands of AI-driven image creation. Here's an in-depth look at the tech stack that powers our innovation:

Frontend Development

• HTML & CSS: We used HTML for structuring the web content, ensuring a semantic and accessible layout. CSS allows us to design a visually appealing interface, providing a responsive and flexible design that adapts to a wide range of devices and screen sizes. We utilize CSS Grid and Flexbox to create dynamic layouts and alignments, ensuring a smooth user experience.
• JavaScript: JavaScript enhances interactivity on the frontend. It enables dynamic content updates, client-side form validation, and responsive event handling. We leverage modern JavaScript features like ES6+ syntax, promises, and async/await for better code readability and performance.
• Responsive Design & Accessibility: We focus on building a fully responsive design using media queries, ensuring that our application is usable on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. Accessibility is a top priority, with considerations like proper use of ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation to ensure our website is usable by all users, including those with disabilities.

• Python: Python is used for implementing complex backend logic, AI model handling, and data processing tasks. With its rich ecosystem of libraries (such as NumPy, Pandas, and TensorFlow), Python allows us to integrate machine learning models and data analysis tasks seamlessly into our backend operations.
• MongoDB: MongoDB is our NoSQL database, chosen for its flexibility in handling unstructured data. It allows us to store data in JSON-like documents, which simplifies the integration with our JavaScript-based stack. With MongoDB's scalability, we can efficiently store and query large datasets, and its high availability features ensure the database can scale horizontally across multiple servers.
• Authentication & Authorization: We implement secure user authentication and authorization through JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and OAuth, ensuring that only authorized users can access certain resources. This also includes user session management and role-based access controls.

AI and Machine Learning

• PyTorch: This open-source machine learning library is the backbone of our AI models, chosen for its flexibility and strong community support in deep learning and computer vision tasks.
• Hugging Face Transformers: We leverage this library for state-of-the-art natural language processing, crucial for interpreting and understanding user prompts accurately.
• Custom GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks): We've developed and fine-tuned custom GAN models to generate high-quality images that accurately reflect user inputs.

This comprehensive tech stack forms the robust foundation upon which we've built our innovative text-to-image generator. By leveraging these cutting-edge technologies, we've created a tool that's not only powerful and efficient but also scalable and future-proof.

Datasets and preprocessing

The development of our AI model required carefully curated datasets. Here is an overview of how the data on which our model was trained, was cleaned and preprocessed:

• Dataset 1: Contained gibberish text labeled as 0.
• Dataset 2: Included meaningful text labeled as 1.
• Final Dataset: Both datasets were merged, resulting in a an integrated vast collection of gibberish and meaningful texts. The final dataset included two columns:
  • Response: Containing gibberish and meaningful entries.
  • Labels: Where gibberish was labeled as 0 and meaningful text as 1.
  
  Data Cleaning: After combining, the dataset underwent a thorough cleaning process. Duplicates were removed, text formats were normalized, and irrelevant symbols were eliminated to ensure consistency and prepare the data for model training.

The final dataset is publicly accessible and can be found here: Final Dataset on Kaggle .

Model Training:

To guarantee optimal efficiency and accuracy, the model was trained using a number of well designed methods. A breakdown of the model training process has been given below:

• Data Splitting: The final cleaned dataset was split into three subsets:
  • Training Set: was used for model learning.
  • Validation Set: was used to tune hyperparameters and prevent overfitting.
  • Testing Set: was used to evaluate the final performance of the model.
• Pipeline Creation: A pipeline was developed for efficient preprocessing and model training. It consisted of:
  • Tfidf Vectorizer: Transformed text data into numerical representations by computing Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) values.
  • Multinomial Naive Bayes (MultinomialNB): An algorithm for supervised learning that is particularly suitable for text classification tasks is used to classify text into readable or nonsense categories. It efficiently manages word counts and their distributions.
• Hyperparameter Tuning: The model was trained using GridSearchCV, which methodically examined several hyperparameter combinations to determine the configuration that produced optimal performance.

This methodical strategy guaranteed that the model was well optimized and proficient at distinguishing gibberish from meaningful content.

Challenges and Solutions:

Developing a cutting-edge AI tool came with its share of challenges. Here are some key hurdles we faced and how we overcame them:

• Challenge: Achieving high-quality, diverse outputs from limited text inputs.
  Solution: We implemented a multi-stage generation process, using initial outputs as seeds for further refinement, and incorporated style transfer techniques to enhance diversity.
• Challenge: Handling ambiguous or abstract prompts.
  Solution: We developed a prompt analysis system using NLP techniques to interpret user intent and provide suggestions for clarification when needed.
• Challenge: Optimizing performance for real-time generation.
  Solution: We leveraged GPU acceleration and implemented efficient caching mechanisms to reduce generation times significantly.
