Re: Regarding Issue MAHOUT-1941
Thanks for the advice Saikat. I'll try to get some hands on experience. I
have gone through the mail thread " Contributing an algorithm for Samsara "
and was wondering if there are any unit tests / any bug fixes pending to
which I could contribute.
I will also go through the list of issues in Jira and see if I can
contribute to any of them to understand the framework. I'll get back to you
if I have any questions.
Best Regards,
Aditya

Aditya,
Please take a look at the plan in mahout-1929 specifically the list of next steps I identified to see which of those interests you and which you think you can finish in a managable period of time, for all GLM discussions lets keep all our discussions inside that JIRA. I am also in the middle of researching ALS so feel free to take a look at the discussion with Dmitry to see whether you want to work on any of the areas identified in that thread (namely (1) double-weighed ALS
(2) bayesian optimization and crossvalidation in an n-dimensional
hyperparameter space
(3) feature extraction per (preferrably R-like) formula.) , if you have questions ping the list and I'll respond as my bandwidth frees up some more.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Aditya,
I went through and mopped up a lot of the outstanding 'beginner' issues as
part of the 0.13.0 release cycle. Sorry there isn't much there for you.
My time is limited, but I think I can do a mentorship. Please email me
directly, I'd like to have a quick conversation to make sure our
expectations are aligned. Following that, I will submit the paperwork
required on my end to become a mentor. To answer your question, I believe
you need to submit your application to the ASF or to Google, I think its
Google. You'll need to do some research on your end to figure out which
steps exactly need to be taken on your side.
Sorry, I haven't been more on this- again, blaming working on 0.13.0
release.
Best wishes, and thank you for your interest.
Talk soon,
tg
