Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of
accepted organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2019! [1,2]

It is now time for mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to
your community and
podlings. If you aren’t already subscribed to
mentors@community.apache.org you should do so now else
you might miss important information.

Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Google's system [3]
and PMC acknowledgement.

If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to

1. Be an Apache committer.
2. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to
mentor projects. Use the below
template and *do not forget to copy mentors@community.apache.org*. We
will use the email adress you
indicate to send the invite to be a mentor for Apache.

PMCs, read carefully please.

We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is
to ensure the mentor is in good
standing with the community. When you receive a request for
acknowledgement, please ACK it and cc
mentors@community.apache.org

Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see
previous emails for details).
Students will now begin to explore ideas so if you haven’t already
done so, record your ideas
immediately!

Cheers,

The Apache GSoC Team

I did not see that! Thank you, I replied. I think STATISTICS-5 is
superseded by STATISTICS-7 which is also a bit more specific.

Thanks.
Could you perhaps start a thread about it (for reference), and open
a JIRA report (in project NUMBERS for the meantime, even if it
is probably going to end up in its own new component)?

Several classes in "solvers" can be easily moved to [Numbers] but I'm
not sure all should: It was my intention to create a "rootfinder" module
and move "BrentSolver" which is probably the most generally useful
implementation (in real applications).

Fair enough if the intention were to develop a complete library for
machine learning. ;-)

 Interpolation I am well familiar with and have used the commons library
before, and would be happy to mentor.

The other analysis libraries are pretty far outside of my expertise, and I
am not qualified to mentor alone anyway, but would be happy to be involved
and learn how they work.

I guess I am not too interested in putting time into ML components if Weka
does it better.

There are also a couple of CM packages that would be worth porting
to [Numbers] or their own component:
  * o.a.c.math4.analysis.integration
  * o.a.c.math4.analysis.interpolation
  * o.a.c.math4.analysis.solvers
(with adaptation to the interfaces of Java 8 "function" package).

As for the "o.a.c.math4.ml" package, it should be fairly easy to
port it to its own component, as there are no dependencies towards
other CM packages.
It could be worth having a small component focused on classification.

WDYT?

What I have now found, doing a bit of background research for this, is that
there is a well-developed pure Java machine learning library called WEKA (
https://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/weka/) . It seems to have good
institutional support and be well maintained. LIke I had in mind, the
syntax is pretty intuitive and similar in style to Scikit-Learn. There is a
nice tutorial using it that can be found at
https://tech.io/playgrounds/3771/machine-learning-with-java---part-1-linear-regression
which illustrates this. I don't know what I would want to do differently,
that Weka hasn't already done, other than its targeting of Java 8. So I
think it would probably be re-inventing the wheel to try to get something
similar started here.

I will re-focus my mind on trying to get some momentum for the stats
functions, which is what I had in mind last summer. I do think if healthy
momentum can build for stats functions, there is a natural fit for a fair
amount of machine learning to be incorporated including our own mothballed
clustering and neural net libraries.

Could you elaborate?
In principle, the idea is great of course (DRY), but in practice, I've witnessed
from up close (it happened right here) that people prefer duplication over
modularization ("dogfooding").

Best,
Gilles

 Sounds like an interesting idea Eric. I wonder if we would get some dogfooding through projects like Apache OpenNLP (one that I know uses ML in Java).

There are a lot of young people who are interested in getting into data
science, we might get a good candidate or two looking to distinguish
themselves. Also Java is such an important language in data science and
engineering, even if a lot of the ML model building to date is in R and

Ah, OK (just wanted to be sure)!

> Now that I look it over it is
> really a bit emaciated.

Even so, it's quite useful, at least to me: I rely on the SOFM implementation
("neuralnet" package).
Some time ago, we had a contributor who had plans to improve the "clustering"
codes (especially performance-wise).  Unfortunately, he moved on to other
subjects/languages.

When the contributor referred to above was around, there was the goal to
make the "ml" package a standalone component.  But when he left, I did
not push it further, as I would have been the sole maintainer and could only
provide support for the code which I know (i.e. "neuralnet" package).

Can you be more specific on what you propose?

That would be great.
However, we need to set realistic goals.

I've already tagged a few existing issues[1]; but new ideas should be

Commons-math had a machine learning library. Now that I look it over it is
really a bit emaciated. Still, I think there is an opportunity here to get
some components up to date that could be pretty widely used, rethinking the
structure and grammar of the library to echo Python's highly successful
scikit-learn and Keras libraries.

There are a lot of young people who are interested in getting into data
science, we might get a good candidate or two looking to distinguish
themselves. Also Java is such an important language in data science and
engineering, even if a lot of the ML model building to date is in R and

You have to register as a mentor. :-)

Then, read and follow the guidelines:
  http://community.apache.org/guide-to-being-a-mentor.html

What should be done ASAP is tag existing, or new issues,
with the appropriate label so that tasks will appear here:

Re: Google Summer of Code 2019 Mentor Registration

Posted by Eric Barnhill <er...@gmail.com>.
I am definitely willing to mentor development of the stats libraries as I
was last year. Now that I work more in data science I am happy to also
mentor the ML library -- in today's world this is NOT too distant a subject
for commons to cover and I am using those models every day, also it
integrates tightliy with stats.

However Gilles and I recruited someone to work on stats last year and due
to some sort of communications disaster, they were rejected despite our
approvals on this list, they couldn't get credit for working on the
project, and an enormous amount of everyone's time was wasted.

Have safeguards been put in place to make sure it won't happen again this
time? What should we have done differently?

And if we can go forward, I would like to contact that kid and give him
first crack at the stats library -- he went to all the trouble to make a
nice proposal for it and everything last year...

Eric

Re: Google Summer of Code 2019 Mentor Registration

Posted by Gilles Sadowski <gi...@gmail.com>.
Hi.

Please send a mail to "private@" as requested in the announce mail.
The more people subscribed to "mentors@",  the less likely we'll miss
administrivia.  [In addition to "Commons" as the project, we should
probably specify which component(s) we are able to provide support.]

Thanks,
Gilles

I will be joining as co-mentor in Jenkins this year. But happy to provide a few hours helping with reviewing/testing tickets for the GSoC if anyone takes the role of mentor.

Cheers

Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of
accepted organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2019! [1,2]

It is now time for mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to
your community and
podlings. If you aren’t already subscribed to
mentors@community.apache.org you should do so now else
you might miss important information.

Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Google's system [3]
and PMC acknowledgement.

If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to

1. Be an Apache committer.
2. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to
mentor projects. Use the below
template and *do not forget to copy mentors@community.apache.org*. We
will use the email adress you
indicate to send the invite to be a mentor for Apache.

PMCs, read carefully please.

We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is
to ensure the mentor is in good
standing with the community. When you receive a request for
acknowledgement, please ACK it and cc
mentors@community.apache.org

Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see
previous emails for details).
Students will now begin to explore ideas so if you haven’t already
done so, record your ideas
immediately!

Cheers,

The Apache GSoC Team
