Hi Andreas,
I think I'll get access to a local mentor from my college, so I think I
rule that issue out, though for technicalities still I would /like/ to
be more dependent on feedback from the scikit-learn community, since my
aim wouldn't be to make something for my own use but rather something
that would be more useful for the scikit-learn community, so that it
eventually gets merged into master.
I'm currently looking for topic that I can take up, I tried looking into
scikit-learn wiki but it doesn't mention for what I'm looking for (no
topic is mentioned). Do you have some topic in mind that could be useful
for addition to scikit-learn? Even if you could direct me to appropriate
links I would be happy to look into those.

Hi Gaurav.
Do you have a local mentor? I think having a mentor that can guide you
during a thesis is very important.
You could get some feedback from the community for a contribution, but
that can be slow,
and is entirely on volunteer basis, so there is no guarantee that
you'll get the necessary feedback in time
to finish your thesis.
Mentoring a thesis - in particular without knowing you - is a serious
commitment, so I'm not sure someone
from inside the project will want to do this. I saw you already made a
contribution in https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/10005
but that's a very different scope than doing what I expect would be
several month of work.
Though in this regard I've made a few more contributions, here is the
link https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pulls/gxyd, though I
know none of them is a big contribution. If you think I should work on a
big enough PR, can you please suggest me some issue in that regard?
Thanks
Best,
Andy

Hi everyone,
I am a final year (5th year) undergraduate Applied Mathematics
student in India. I am thinking of doing my final year thesis by
doing some work (coding part) on scikit learn, so I was thinking if
anyone could tell me if there are available topics (not necessarily
names of those topics) that I could work on being an undergraduate
student? I would want to expand upon this in December when my exams
will be over. But in the mean time would want to take a step in that
direction by just knowing if there will be available topics that I
could work on.
It could be the case that available topics are not so easy for an
undergraduate, still in that case I would like to do some research on
the topics first.
