Sorry for the late reply, my internet connection failed me. I've seen only cross validation being the problem for semi-supervised learning, on the issue tracker. Would someone else like to discuss about this? So, should I scrap the self-taught learning algorithm from the proposal? Also, I'm lookin

Sorry for the confusion, but that was actually not the meta-estimator I was thinking of. I was thinking about the iterative self-learning method, which is a classical way to make a supervised algorithm semi-supervised. Either way, these would be quite simple meta-estimators, and wouldn't require

Hi Andy The idea wiki showed issue #1243 as a reference link which specifically mentions self-taught learning as a solution for turning an estimator into a semi-supervised one. So, I tried to base my proposal on that. Could you guide me on how to focus more on semi-supervised learning than transfe

Hi Vinayak. That looks more like a transfer-learning task and I'm not sure how that a) tie into the project b) work with the sklearn API. So I'd be -1 on that. Cheers, Andy On 03/25/2015 04:16 AM, Vinayak Mehta wrote: Hi everyone! I've added my proposal to the wiki page. Please suggest impr

@Andy I was working on the Multiple metric support idea, but since ragv has opted for it, I am now studying the hyperparameter optimization idea. I am also quite interested in the self-taught learning one. I will submit a proposal by the end of the day at GMT+5.5 :) @Vlad Thanks for the motivation

Hi Vinayak, The wiki page just lists a subset of possible topics for which candidates already showed concrete interest. I think an application for low-rank matrix completion would be more than welcome. It’s very important to work on a topic that you are interested in directly, versus just pick

Hi Vinayak. Have you decided on your application topic? I am trying to get a bit of an overview, and I think you haven't submitted anything yet. There are two other applications for the hyperparameter topic and one for the cross-validation and gridsearch improvements. Since Ragv is already worki
