Hi Krishna! Welcome, and thanks for your interest!
We would definitely be excited to collaborate with you on a GSOC
project.
We've started another thread to discuss possible new proposals, and we
would also be quite interested in any particular proposal that you
might
like to generate tailored towards your interests. Copied from the
other
thread, some possible ideas could include: building out a full ML demo
to
solve a real, large-scale problem that would benefit from a
distributed
approach; overall performance improvements that address a full class,
or
wider area, of ML algorithms, rather than a single, specific script;
infrastructure for [performance] testing, and identification of wide
areas
of improvement; helping with building out fully-featured, clean,
well-tested DSLs in Python & Scala (we've started, but it would be
good to
continue stressing them -- we could even aim to replace DML with the
DSLs);
etc. Overall, we want to improve the ability of the user to work on a
wide
range of large-scale, distributed ML problems in a simple and easy
manner
on top of Spark.
In the meantime, you could explore our recent open issues [1] and even
begin discussions or contributions on any of the items. You could
also
view our recent roadmap discussion thread on the mailing list,
starting
with the first email [2]:
