I'm sure Spark will sign up for GSoC again this year - and id be surprised if there was not some interest now for projects :)
If I have the time at that point in the year I'd be happy to mentor a project in MLlib but will have to see how my schedule is at that point! Manoj perhaps some of the locality sensitive hashing stuff you did for scikit-learn could find its way to Spark or spark-projects. — Sent from Mailbox On Fri, Jan 2, 2015 at 6:28 AM, Reynold Xin <r...@databricks.com> wrote: > Hi Manoj, > Thanks for the email. > Yes - you should start with the starter task before attempting larger ones. > Last year I signed up as a mentor for GSoC, but no student signed up.
