Hello everyone,
My name is Alina Ciobanu. I'm a first-year Ph.D. student in computer science
(NLP) at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of
Bucharest, Romania. I am interested in contributing to the Apache Commons Math
library. My idea is to work on the clustering module, to implement spectral
clustering, maybe also the mean shift algorithm, and some clustering validation
methods. Would you please tell me if you think that such a contribution would
be useful to the Commons Math users? If so, I will provide more details about
what I have in mind. Any suggestions are welcome.
I am also thinking about applying to Google Summer of Code this year. I haven't
decided yet because I am not sure, at this moment, if my schedule for this
summer would allow it. Thus, this question is only in perspective: would anyone
from the Commons Math community be interested in mentoring a GSoC project (on
the clustering module, as described above, or on something related)?
Best regards,Alina Ciobanu
