Hello everyone, This year we had another very competitive Summer of Code application process. Overall we had 85 proposals for only a few slots. Like every year, we had to reject some proposals that we would have liked to accept. If you were not accepted, but you feel that you put together a competitive proposal, you are probably right---and we're sorry that we weren't able to make it work out.
In any case, thanks to the 85 applicants, who spent many hours contributing to mlpack and making it better. If anyone who applied for GSoC does not have mlpack stickers but would like them, please just send an email to [email protected] with a mailing address and we will put them in the mail for you (it might be a couple weeks before they arrive). So, this year, the following 10 projects will be mentored: ---- Mehul Kumar Nirala "Application of ANN Algorithms Implemented in mlpack" mentored by Sumedh Ghaisas and Marcus Edel Toshal Agrawal "Implementing Essential Deep Learning Modules" mentored by Shikhar Jaiswal Saksham Bansal "Implementing Essential Deep Learning Modules" mentored by Shikhar Jaiswal Roberto Hueso Gomez "Advanced Kernel Density Estimation Improvements" mentored by Ryan Curtin Sreenik Seal "mlpack-TensorFlow Translator" mentored by Atharva Khandait Rahul Ganesh Prabhu "NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies & Multi-Objective Optimization" mentored by Manish Kumar and Marcus Edel Xiaohong Ji "PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization)" mentored by Manish Kumar and Marcus Edel SangYeon Kim "Quantum Gaussian Mixture Models Implementation" mentored by Sumedh Ghaisas Jeffin Sam "String Processing Utilities" mentored by Mikhail Lozhnikov Suryoday Basak "Particle Swarm Optimization" mentored by Marcus Edel and Ryan Curtin ---- Congratulations to the accepted students! I am really looking forward to a great summer. The next four weeks are 'community bonding'---so, please get in touch with your mentors, get to know them a little bit, and feel free to hang out in IRC and if there are any questions definitely don't hesitate to ask. I also know there is a long backlog of PRs that still haven't been addressed from the application period. We will work through these slowly as we have time, so if you submitted a PR but did not get accepted we would still love to work with you on your contributions. Have a great day!
