Upscayl is GUI software that uses sophisticated AI models to enhance your images by guessing what the details could be. It’s free and open source software.

An extremely interesting area of research relates to deep learning text-to-image models such as Stable Diffusion. These models can generate highly detailed images based on text descriptions.

Whisper is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask supervised data collected from the web. Powered by deep learning and neural networks, Whisper is a natural language processing system that’s built on PyTorch.

Ásbrú Connection Manager (Ásbrú) is a user interface that helps organizing remote terminal sessions and automating repetitive tasks. The project began as a fork of PAC (Perl Auto Connector) Manager.

Old Photo Restoration is an academic project that lets you restore old photos. This software uses PyTorch and is written in Python.

Ultimate Vocal Remover is a GUI that lets you isolate stems from music. It offers convenient access to a wide range of different models. It's free and open source software.

Coqui STT (STT) is a deep-learning toolkit for training and deploying speech-to-text models. This is free and open source software.

astroML is a Python module for machine learning and data mining built on NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, and Astropy.

The first article in the series looked at GFPGAN, deep learning software for real-world face restoration. Real-ESRGAN and GFPGAN have been integrated into each other, but they are also individual projects from the same developer. Real-ESRGAN is a project that aims to create practical algorithms for general image/video restoration as opposed to face restoration.

Demucs is billed as “a state-of-the-art music source separation model, currently capable of separating drums, bass, and vocals from the rest of the accompaniment”.

One of the venerable programs that has stuck in our memory for such a long time is xclock, an open source analog / digital clock for X. One of the many virtues of open source software is that other developers fork the project and ‘invent’ something new.

This new series looks at highly promising machine learning and deep learning software for Linux. We'll cover a wide range of applications of this technology. We begin the series with GFPGAN, deep learning software for real-world face restoration. This software can radically improve the quality of images.

Apple Contacts is a computerized address book included with the Apple operating systems iOS, iPadOS and macOS. It includes cloud synchronization capabilities.

Gaia Sky is a cross-platform real-time 3D universe program. It's developed within the framework of the European Space Agency's (ESA's) Gaia mission to chart more than 1 billion stars.

cTune is an ncurses based internet radio player written in C. This is free and open source software.

PyRadio is a cross-platform curses based internet radio player. We tested the latest version of PyRadio using the package available from the Arch User Repository (AUR). This repository is for Arch and Arch-based distros.

Corel Pinnacle Studio is a full-featured, near-pro-level video editing application without a steep learning curve.

When we reviewed termusic back in April 2022 we lamented that this music player was a strong candidate for someone looking for a terminal-based music player with one exception. The software lacked gapless playback.

Aqualung is mature software. It’s billed as an advanced music player that plays audio CDs, internet radio streams and podcasts as well as soundfiles in just about any audio format and has the feature of inserting no gaps between adjacent tracks.

pyjokes is a terminal based program that tells one line jokes for programmers. On each evocation of the program, you receive a corny joke pulled randomly from the software’s joke file. Nothing more, nothing less.
