Google Summer of Code 2016

Welcome Students (and mentors)! See how to get involved and our GSoC blog posts.

Potential projects.

This is a growing list. To add, please create a new wiki page for each project that you describe. Name them as "GSoC_2016_project_XXX" etc. Here is a template.

Main focus

This year's GSoC is about improving Shogun, rather than extending it. Exceptions allowed. We aim to recruit new long-term developers.

  • Fewer new algorithms. Rather improve existing ones: Usability, efficiency, documentation, application
  • Fewer students. More intense mentoring, interaction between students, blogging, documenting

Mentors (and students) this year

Projects

Bold projects are more likely to happen. ALL students will be required to:

  • peer-review a fellow student's work in the final phase of GSoC
  • jointly helpo with the 5.0 release in the final phase of GSoC

Furthermore, we plan an experiment this year: an additional side-project that all students work on jointly and in addition to their main project -- building a Shogun cookbook

Improving Shogun

These are roughly ordered in our priority in them. Most of them do not focus on Machine Learning but rather on software engineering.

Extending Shogun:

The projects we would like to limit in numbers.

Algorithms

Framework

Other ideas:

  • Cool pipelines
    • A kaggle pipeline for supervised prediction.
    • Spectrometer (there is an open-source hardward project on this)
    • Music brainz predictions (The cool hair guy at GSoC is the one we should talk to here)
    • Some bio thing?
    • Collaboration with MLPack for toolkit wide performance/accuracy testing

Infrastructure:
