GSoC Project Proposal #78

Closed ysimillides closed 5 years ago

ysimillides commented 5 years ago

For adding to https://julialang.org/soc/ideas-page We are looking for 1-2 students to join us over the summer in the MLJ.jl toolbox (Machine-Learning in Julia). You can find us on the MLJ channel on the Julia slack to discuss the project. Ideally we would like the project to combine a few of the following ideas, although we look forward to hearing your own suggestions :

  1. Implement interfaces to popular data science algorithms, written in both Julia and non-Julia, such as parts of ScikitLearn or Flux.
  2. Write worked examples/tutorials of using the MLJ codebase to solve a variety of problems, relevant to our userbase, serving as a first introduction to using the library.
  3. Write pure Julia code for some of the MLJ algorithms to replace non-Julia elements of the library.

I'm not sure I'm going to have time to remotely supervise a summer student unless I'm very sure about their abilities. I already expect to be helping @ayush1999 out.

I feel your own time might be more effectively devoted to developing, rather than supervising. If the student had a very strong Statistics background this might work out, as you could help them with the Julia, but a summer student is always a bit of a crap-shoot in terms of productivity. They can be a good investment for later on, but they often require more time than you think. I suppose it is ultimately @sjvollmer 's call as to whether you want to take this on.
