Persian Assistant

A modular, offline-first voice assistant system designed specifically for Persian language interactions. This Python-based project combines cutting-edge AI components to deliver a voice assistant experience with privacy-focused, low-latency responses.

Overview

The Persian Assistant integrates Persian-capable Large Language Models (LLMs), advanced speech recognition, and natural text-to-speech synthesis to create a fully functional voice assistant. Built with a refactored adapter-oriented architecture using FastAPI, it provides both text and voice query capabilities with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for enhanced responses.

Architecture

The system follows a hybrid modular + adapter-oriented design with clean separation of concerns:

Core Architecture (src/ - COMPLETED)

  • API Layer (src/api/): FastAPI endpoints with comprehensive error handling
  • Business Logic (src/core/): Modular components with adapter pattern interfaces
  • Infrastructure (src/infrastructure/): Cross-cutting concerns (caching, monitoring)
  • Utilities (src/utils/): Shared utilities and logging

Component Architecture

  • Vector Store Adapters: Pinecone, Elasticsearch with unified BaseVectorStore interface
  • LLM Backends: HuggingFace (default), OpenAI, Anthropic, Google with BaseLLMBackend interface
  • Speech Services: Whisper STT, OpenAI TTS with BaseSTTBackend/BaseTTSBackend interfaces
  • RAG Pipeline: Advanced retrieval with query transformations and hybrid search
  • Data Ingestion: CSV, SQLite, Excel processors with unified interfaces
  • Configuration: Environment-based settings with Pydantic validation

Data Flow

  1. User speaks Persian → STT transcribes to text
  2. Text processed through RAG pipeline → Queries hybrid vector store for context
  3. Enriched prompt sent to LLM → Generates Persian response
  4. Response converted to speech via TTS → User hears natural Persian voice

Core Components

Persian-Capable LLMs

  • OpenAI GPT Models: Configurable GPT models via API for production use
  • Dorna-Llama3-8B: Local Persian LLM (integration planned)
  • PersianMind-v1.0 (7B): University of Tehran model for local inference
  • Persian-Mistral-7B: Mistral-based model with fluent Persian generation

Implementation: OpenAI API for cloud, Ollama/llama.cpp for local with quantization.

  • OpenAI Whisper Large-v3: Configured for Persian transcription
  • Mock Implementation: Current development version for testing

Implementation: HuggingFace Transformers with Persian fine-tuning.

Text-to-Speech (TTS)

  • Facebook MMS TTS (Persian): Multilingual VITS model
  • Mock Implementation: Current development version for testing

  • Quality Filtering: Removes chunks smaller than 50 characters to ensure meaningful content

Embedding Optimization:

  • Batch Processing: Adaptive batch sizes based on content volume (16 for large datasets)
  • Normalization: Ensures consistent similarity calculations across different text lengths

Persian Assistant

A modular, offline-first voice assistant system designed specifically for Persian language interactions. This Python-based project combines cutting-edge AI components to deliver a voice assistant experience with privacy-focused, low-latency responses.

Overview

The Persian Assistant integrates Persian-capable Large Language Models (LLMs), advanced speech recognition, and natural text-to-speech synthesis to create a fully functional voice assistant. Built with a refactored adapter-oriented architecture using FastAPI, it provides both text and voice query capabilities with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for enhanced responses.

Architecture

The system follows a hybrid modular + adapter-oriented design with clean separation of concerns:

Core Architecture (src/ - COMPLETED)

  • API Layer (src/api/): FastAPI endpoints with comprehensive error handling
  • Business Logic (src/core/): Modular components with adapter pattern interfaces
  • Infrastructure (src/infrastructure/): Cross-cutting concerns (caching, monitoring)
  • Utilities (src/utils/): Shared utilities and logging

Component Architecture

  • Vector Store Adapters: Pinecone, Elasticsearch with unified BaseVectorStore interface
