Shurl is Shrunk's artificial intelligence platform. This is not meant to be a standalone project and is supposed to be a submodule for Shrunk, an open-source URL shortener for Rutgers University.

• Produces title suggestions for the shortened URL
• Interactive web app for demonstration purposes

We use pre-commit to ensure that all committed code does not violate the Ruff linter.

1. Fork, then clone the repository
2. Install pre-commit

pip install pre-commit --break-system-packages && pre-commit install

3. Launch the service.

docker-compose up

When training the transformer model with the Shrunk database, each iteration took a significant amount of time (approximately 60 seconds per iteration on an Apple M2 Max with 32GB of RAM). Consequently, it is advisable to train the model in the cloud rather than on-device.

Instructions for training the model on Amazon Web Services coming soon.
