[Xapian-devel] GSoC Aspirant : Learning to Rank
Sir,
I am an Undergraduate student of *Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras
Hindu University, Varanasi. "IIT-V"*. I am pursuing my B.Tech. in
Electronics Engineering, currently in the 3rd year.
I have a keen interest in the field of *Machine Learning, Data Mining,
Natural Language Processing, and Information Retrieval*. Also I have worked
a lot upon fields like NLP, Speech Synthesis-Recognition and Processing,
Image and Video Processing, Machine Learning and Neural Networks. What I
found after working in all these is ML is common to all and suits my
interest.
I have done online courses on Machine Learning (by Andrew NG), and
Introduction to NLP (by Dan Jurafsky and Christopher Manning). I have done
various projects on Machine Learning including implementation of *Neural
Networks, SVM, CRF, PCA, etc* and have deep knowledge in these fields.
Currently, I am engaged in a research Project over *NLP (Temporal analysis
of Tweets)*, under guidance of *Dr. Judith Gelerenter, Carnegie Mellon
University*, since October 2013 which is soon going to complete and our
work will be made open source after its completion this project involved
use of machine learning methods like *SVM and CRF for NLP*.
Last summer I did an internship in Korea on Speech Processing which
involved neural networks for Speech recognition. Also, I am learning Deep
Learning for my interest. I am efficient coder in *C, C++, Python and
Matlab/Octave.*
I am a self-motivated student and I am very interested in contributing more
and more in field of ML and IR. Now, I want to do some open source
contributions and GSOC is the best platform to do so. I would like to
sincerely contribute to Ranking section of Xapian
I saw the Ideas list of Xapian and these two projects under
*Ranking*category cathced my eye. I am particularly interested in
*Project:
Learning to Rank*. Machine learning is core field of my interest and I am
good at it.
This seems to be a great project to get hands on experience in ML and IR,
with contributing to open source. By my past experiences I am trained to
work alone under mentorship, and I will give my 100% sincere efforts in
completing whichever task I am given up.
Please help me on how should I proceed for GSoC.

Hi Osho, You should be able to start with the Learning-to-Rank project by the instructions given at the Project Ideas page. The latest repository of the code is at: https://github.com/rishabhmehrotra/xapian Also some recent discussions on the Xapian-devel mining lest may also be of interest. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Cheers, Parth.
