+1, I checked the keys and signatures, reviewed the LICENSE and NOTICE 
files, checked for any binary contents in the source distribution, 
checked to make sure there were not SNAPSHOT dependencies, and did a 
maven build with a fresh repo.

Re: [DISCUSS] [PROPOSAL] Singa for Apache Incubator

[Henry Saputra]

Several comments:
-) How many users already using this project? I would reccomend to
drop request for singa-user list at the beginning.
-) All the initial committers come from university and seemed like
some of them already ready to leave university. I am not too sure if
this project go survive if all of the inital committers are from
university as students.
-) Need to solicit more mentors if this project ever get to Apache incubator.

 Hello everyone,

 I would like to propose the inclusion of Singa as an Apache Incubator 
 project.

 Here is the proposal - https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/SingaProposal

 Please review the proposal and give feedback. I am planning to start a
 vote after 7 days if the proposal looks good.
 We are also seeking additional Apache mentors for the project.

 Thanks,

 Singa Incubator Proposal

 Abstract

 SINGA is a distributed deep learning platform.

 Proposal

 SINGA is an efficient, scalable and easy-to-use distributed platform
 for training deep learning models, e.g., Deep Convolutional Neural
 Network and Deep Belief Network. It parallelizes the computation
 (i.e., training) onto a cluster of nodes by distributing the training
 data and model automatically to speed up the training. Built-in
 training algorithms like Back-Propagation and Contrastive Divergence
 are implemented based on common abstractions of deep learning models.
 Users can train their own deep learning models by simply customizing
 these abstractions like implementing the Mapper and Reducer in Hadoop.

 Background

 Deep learning refers to a set of feature (or representation) learning
 models that consist of multiple (non-linear) layers, where different
 layers learn different levels of abstractions (representations) of the
 raw input data. Larger (in terms of model parameters) and deeper (in
 terms of number of layers) models have shown better performance, e.g.,
 lower image classification error in Large Scale Visual Recognition
 Challenge. However, a larger model requires more memory and larger
 training data to reduce over-fitting. Complex numeric operations make
 the training computation intensive. In practice, training large deep
 learning models takes weeks or months on a single node (even with
 GPU).

 Rational

 Deep learning has gained a lot of attraction in both academia and
 industry due to its success in a wide range of areas such as computer
 vision and speech recognition. However, training of such models is
 computationally expensive, especially for large and deep models (e.g.,
 with billions of parameters and more than 10 layers). Both Google and
 Microsoft have developed distributed deep learning systems to make the
 training more efficient by distributing the computations within a
 cluster of nodes. However, these systems are closed source softwares.
 Our goal is to leverage the community of open source developers to
 make SINGA efficient, scalable and easy to use. SINGA is a full
 fledged distributed platform, that could benefit the community and
 also benefit from the community in their involvement in contributing
 to the further work in this area. We believe the nature of SINGA and
 our visions for the system fit naturally to Apache's philosophy and
 development framework.

 Initial Goals

 We have developed a system for SINGA running on a commodity computer
 cluster. The initial goals include, * improving the system in terms of
 scalability and efficiency, e.g., using Infiniband for network
 communication and multi-threading for one node computation. We would
 consider extending SINGA to GPU clusters later. * benchmarking with
 larger datasets (hundreds of millions of training instances) and
 models (billions of parameters). * adding more built-in deep learning
 models. Users can train t

[DISCUSS] Commons RDF to join the Apache Incubator

[Sergio Fernández]

Hello everyone,

I would like to propose Commons RDF, a small library providing a common 
API for RDF 1.1. The  current draft of the proposal is here:


  http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/CommonsRDF

The main motivation behind this simple library is revise an historical 
incompatibility issue in the Java world. In particular, commons RDF aims 
to provide a type-safe, non-general API that covers RDF 1.1.


The path for the project is clear. But in this phase Commons RDF has to 
focus on the API design, which actively involves developers of existing 
toolkits, so it is better to have a more focused community and 
infrastructure than the Commons Sandbox. Then we have come to the 
conclusion that incubation is probably the best path, and then gradually 
prepare the Commons RDF community for working within the larger Apache 
Commons community. Therefore we hope the possible conflict with the name 
of this podling would not been seen as a problem during incubation.


We would gladly welcome additional volunteers to act as mentors on the
project, as well as a champion, preferable someone with any relationship 
with the Apache Common community.


Thanks!
Andy, Peter, Stian, Reto and Sergio
