Context & Problem

Many text analytics dashboards rely heavily on external cloud APIs, incurring substantial bills and data privacy liabilities. OmniText showcases a modular, CPU-optimized NLP dashboard running lightweight transformers locally to provide semantic analytics.

Architecture

System pipeline layout representing coordination blocks and execution pathways designed for this solution.

Implementation

  • Integrated Hugging Face pipeline interfaces for sentiment analysis, entity classification, and keyword extraction.
  • Built a CPU-friendly summarization pipeline using quantized DistilBART models.
  • Developed a Streamlit visual workspace with interactive TF-IDF text comparison maps.

Challenges & Trade-offs

CHALLENGE: Out-of-memory errors on shared CPU hosting when loading large transformer weights.

RESOLUTION: Migrated to ONNX-quantized models and implemented aggressive memory garbage collection after model outputs are fetched.

Results & Impact

Quantitative metrics and verified outcomes obtained from benchmarks.
