Hi All, I am interested in applying for the two projects listed in the Xapian Gsoc 2019 project idealist: "Learning to Rank Stabilisation" and "Weighting Schemes". I have downloaded the codebase and going through some of the commits related to Letor API, BM25, and DFR weighting schemes. Can anyone tell me how to write about the formal proposal for the above-mentioned projects? Thanks and Regards, -Sourav. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, Sourav. For the writing of formal proposal, I think you can have a look at Xapian's gsoc proposal template on GitHub:> https://github.com/xapian/xapian-gsoc-proposal/blob/master/proposal.rstI'm not sure if it is enough for you... For details about the projects, I'm sorry, as I'm also a student new here, I think I'm not able to give valuable advises... Good luck to you, outdream -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As for how to approach it, working through the steps in our GSoC Guide should help. It sounds like you've already chosen a project (or at least narrowed down to a couple of options), and started to dig into the code a bit, so this is about the place to start: https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoC%20Guide#ReadingtheResourcesforyourchosenProjectIdea Cheers, Olly
Thank you, Olly, and outdream for your kind response. I have drafted my proposal for GSoc, Can anyone please review on this. Thanks & regards, -Sourav.
