Sorry Andreas, I didn't intend to send last mail to you. I've sent a copy of last mail to scikit-learn mailing list.

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.
