Minh Lê Đức

AI Engineer · Hồ Chí Minh, Việt Nam

I build and deploy machine learning systems — natural language processing, generative AI, and real-time vision — and I maintain a small collection of open libraries in Python and Rust. Most of my work lives somewhere between research and production: taking a model that works in a notebook and making it hold up under load.

Libraries

Packages I design, build, and maintain — published to PyPI and crates.io, each sharpened by my own use.

kalbee

v0.5.0 · Python

Kalman filtering and state estimation — ten filter families under one consistent API.

  • Breadth: Kalman, Extended, Unscented, Particle, Ensemble, Information, Adaptive, and Square-Root filters, plus an RTS smoother.
  • Tracking: Multi-object tracking with Hungarian association and ready-made motion models.
  • Numerical rigor: Joseph-form updates and Cholesky stabilization, with RMSE, NEES, and NIS diagnostics.
import numpy as np
from kalbee import KalmanFilter

kf = KalmanFilter(
    np.zeros((2, 1)),             # state
    np.eye(2),                    # covariance
    np.array([[1, 1], [0, 1]]),   # F: constant velocity
    np.eye(2) * 0.01,             # Q
    np.array([[1, 0]]),           # H: observe position
    np.array([[0.1]]),            # R
)
kf.predict()
kf.update(np.array([[1.2]]))
# kf.x -> [[1.14], [0.57]]
pip install kalbee

colonyx

v0.1.1 · Rust + Python

Rust-backed swarm intelligence optimization for Python — a Pythonic interface over a compiled core.

  • Eleven algorithms: Ant Colony, Particle Swarm, Artificial Bee Colony, Grey Wolf, Firefly, Simulated Annealing, Cuckoo Search, Bat, Glowworm, Bacterial Foraging, and Differential Evolution.
  • One entry point: A unified AutoColony API covers continuous optimization and discrete problems such as the Traveling Salesman.
  • Rust core: Compiled via PyO3 and shipped to both registries.
from colonyx import AutoColony

def sphere(x):
    return sum(xi * xi for xi in x)

opt = AutoColony(
    mode="pso", n_iterations=150, random_state=42
)
opt.fit(sphere, bounds=[(-5, 5)] * 3)

opt.predict()   # -> ~[0, 0, 0]
opt.score()     # -> ~0.004
pip install colonyx

enigmar

v0.1.0 · Rust

A high-performance Enigma machine simulator covering the M3 and M4 models, with Python bindings for anyone who would rather explore the cipher from a notebook.

  • Historical fidelity: Models the rotor, reflector, and plugboard mechanics of the M3 and M4 machines.
  • Rust core, Python bindings: A Rust implementation exposed to Python through PyO3, for teaching, tinkering, and cryptanalysis experiments.
use enigmar::EnigmaBuilder;

let mut machine = EnigmaBuilder::new()
    .rotor("I", 0, 0)      // type, position, ring setting
    .rotor("II", 0, 0)
    .rotor("III", 0, 0)
    .reflector("B")
    .plugboard("AV BS CG DL FU HZ IN KM OW RX")
    .build()
    .unwrap();

let ciphertext = machine.process_string("HELLOWORLD");
