Dear Friends, This is Shao from National University of Singapore(NUS). I'm currently doing my exchange study in Royal Institute of Technology(KTH), Sweden. IR is really interesting to me. I've taken a Information Retrieval course during the exchange study here in KTH http://www.csc.kth.se/utbildning/kth/kurser/DD2476/ir12/labblydelser/assignment2. The Weighting Schemes and Learn to Rank

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?

Hi, I am Abhishek Currently Xapian::Weight follows BM25 scheme, many models such as the Divergence from Randomness (DfR) family of models, Unigram Language Model and the Bi-gram Language Model implemented two years ago in GSoc 2012 yet not merged to the master. The new weighing schemes or improvement in implementing the previous models to change the default scheme of BM25 from SMART with

Google are running their Summer of Code again this year. If you're not familiar with it, see: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/ We decided to apply a while back, but it's now time for orgs to actually apply - the deadline is just a few days away (Feb 20th). The main priorities right now are: * Refreshing the list of project ideas. I've done some cleaning up, but

Google's "Summer of Code" is on again. If you're not familiar with GSoC, see: http://code.google.com/soc/ We had a brief discussion on IRC, and we have enough potential mentors to make it worth applying again. Org applications are open Feb 3rd-14th. Accepted orgs are announced on Feb 24th, and students can apply between March 10th and 21st, but the keen ones have already

Google's Summer of Code is happening again this year. If you're not familiar with GSoC, see: http://code.google.com/soc/ We decided to apply some time ago, but applications for orgs are now open and need to be in by this coming Friday (20th) so we need to get things a bit more organised. Accepted orgs are due to be announced on March 2nd, and students can apply between March 16th and

The Letor project involves descent amount of Machine Learning while all the ranking related projects are around IR. Its better to introduce your idea on mailing list where all the mentors can have a detailed look at it, potential mentors can respond and the idea is kind of registered under your name.

The deadline for students to apply has now passed (it was 19:00 UTC on March 25th). Many thanks you to all who applied. This year Xapian received 31 completed proposals (exactly the same total as when we last took part in 2014), plus another 2 we only had a draft version of. Two were total junk, proposing to implement something unrelated to Xapian and presumably submitted verbatim to several

Hi! I am Praveen Kumar, an Applied Mathematics student and I am interested in developing other weighting schemes for Xapian through GSOC. I did not have any formal course in Information Retrieval in our institute. The theory that I presently know is from the Xapian documentations and other references and resources mentioned on the website which I read to design our own Probabilistic Information

Hi Tejas, Thank you for your interest in Letor project in Xapian. We would definitely like to consider Letor for this year's GSoC project. What I would suggest you is, start playing with the code and get acquainted with it. The latest code can be obtained from http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ GSoC2012/LTR Regards, Parth.

Hello guys.I have begun work on writing my proposal as discussed on IRC and will submit a draft in a couple of days so that I can make it detailed and refine it after getting feedback. I wanted to know about the number of weeks a proposal should cover and also,is it okay if I set aside a buffer week somewhere in the middle of the summer for something like cleaning the code,working on the

Dear mentors and friends working on Xapian: Sorry for bothering you here, please excuse my rudeness. In order to clearly represent my thoughts, I think my words going a bit verbose, thus it is unsuitable to put them in the chat room or it would be a hell for the readers. This email consists of 3 parts, my self introduction (I'm new here) and two question I met while building Xapian from git.

Google are holding a GSoC "Doc Camp" this year the week before the annual mentor summit - the dates for Doc Camp are 17-21 October, and the location is Google HQ in Mountain View, California, USA. A major part of this will be several Book Sprints for writing Quick Start guides for specific organisations taking part in GSoC. They're currently inviting proposals, and I'd like to

This might be a little late but I was engaged in my university examinations. Moreover, I have an exam even today so apologies for the delay. Also, I had to change my project from weighting schemes to improve to improve estimated total number of results as weighting schemes was demanding a lot of time going through it. I would really appreciate if you could review my proposal asap.

Hi James, Thanks for clearing doubts I had earlier. >>if we can introduce the variants using optional parameters that default to >>(effectively) 'off' that might be better than distinct ones, Yes, this will definitely be the better approach for introducing the variants of existing weighting functions. Thanks for the suggestion. Next, I will try to come up with a draft of

Google are running their Summer of Code again this year. If you're not familiar with it, see: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/ Last year was very successful and I think we probably want to apply again this year, assuming there are a sufficient number of people interested in mentoring to make it worthwhile.
