Hi,
my name is Jim Holmström and I am currently a postgraduate in machine
learning at KTH, Sweden (Bachelor in Engineering physics). I have been
interested in contributing to sklearn for a while now. The GSoC seems to be
a really good way to get started.
I currently have no proposals of my own but I looked into the list of
topics<https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/wiki/A-list-of-topics-for-a-Google-Summer-of-Code-%28GSOC%29-2013#improve-gmm>and
found ``Improve GMM'' to be really interesting, is it still
applicable?
I started by adding myself as a possible candidate alongside the topic, but
what is the next course of action? I haven't contributed any code to
sklearn at all. Do I understand it correctly that it is almost a
requirement before a GSoC with sklearn? Anyhow, I'm reading through the
developer docs and are scoping for a possible contribution. Should I start
writing a proposal for ``Improve GMM'' or contact the possible mentors for
further instructions or just wait a bit?
Thanks in advance,
Jim Holmström
