Hey Adarsh, (cc shoguns mailing list - please always send to questions to the list, others might have the same).
The first step to get involved: read how to get involved <https://github.com/shogun-toolbox/shogun/wiki/Getting-involved>. THE best way to start is to solve entrance tasks <https://github.com/shogun-toolbox/shogun/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22>. We do not consider students who have not contributed any kind of code in the run up to GSoC. In addition to your "technical application", we have collected some tips for your written application <https://github.com/shogun-toolbox/shogun/wiki/GSoC_application_tips>. The best tip for your application: rather than contacting us and asking what to do, send a patch! :) We don’t have a roadmap for the data project yet, because it will very much depend on the strengths and interests of the student doing it; so, think about what *excatly* is your ML experience (e.g. what parts of Shogun would you use to do the ML projects you have done so far in Python in Shogun? Can you send a small notebook (see our showroom <http://www.shogun.ml/showroom> and the cookbook <http://www.shogun.ml/examples/latest/index.html> on how to use Shogun from the different interfaces) to demonstrate this?) and what would you be interested in working on (what kind of data? what kind of ML problem? what kind of “real” problem?). Let us know, we want to see some initiative here. All the best, Lea TLDR for the application project: - send a patch (entrance tasks) - send a concrete idea of what you can & want to do > On 28 Feb 2019, at 19:40, adarsh tadwai <tadwaiada...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Lea Goetz > > I am Adarsh, currently pursuing Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering > at IIT(ISM) Dhanbad, India.
