A (yet incomplete and to be polished) list of potential GSoC 2015 projects.

Please create a new wiki page for each project that you describe (to keep this page small). Name them as "GSoC_2015_project_MCMC" etc. Here is a template

Main focus

This year's GSoC is about improving Shogun, rather than extending it. Exceptions allowed.

  • Fewer new algorithms. Rather improve existing ones: Usability, efficiency, documentation, application
  • Fewer students. More intense mentoring, interaction between students, blogging, documenting
  • Projects on
    • Clean ups of: framework, build process, algorithms, usability, documentation
    • Removing legacy code
    • Efficiency: High performance computing, parallelisation, cloud, benchmarking
    • Applications: Using Machine Learning as a tool to improve the world, rather than toy examples
    • Pipelines & Framework: Improve usability on standard workflow pipelines
    • Usablity: Building and Installing Shogun has to be easier

Finished descriptions

New things:

The projects we would like to limit in numbers.

TODO list

Ideas to port from last year's list:

New ideas for which we need descriptions:

Other ideas:

  • Cool pipelines
    • A kaggle pipeline for supervised prediction.
    • Spectrometer (there is an open-source hardward project on this)
    • Music brainz predictions (The cool hair guy at GSoC is the one we should talk to here)
    • Some bio thing?
    • Collaboration with MLPack for toolkit wide performance/accuracy testing

Infrastructure:

  • Easy Model selection!
  • Easy linalg
  • Get rid of static interfaces, migrate all tests etc
  • Matlab swig bindings
  • REST interface

Clean ups:

  • Modularise Shogun
  • Replace parameter framework
  • Benchmark existing algos and improve!
