Hello, I am a sophomore undergraduate student at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad. It is one of the leading research institutes in India. I am pursuing my B.Tech. in Computer Science with MS by research in Computational Linguistics (five-year dual degree). I am interested in Learning to Rank project for GSoC'14. Can you please suggest me some quick tasks or some good tutorials to familiarize me with the project. I am good at programming and am fairly comfortable in programming in C/C++, Python and Ruby. Hoping for a reply soon. Thank You. Regards, Nishant Prateek, IIIT Hyderabad, india -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

After that, a good first step would be to check out the letor code and get it to build. The code from 2012 is probably the best starting point, but Parth has more idea of the current status of things there. Cheers, Olly
