[GSoC'21]Seeking Review of draft Proposal for Project 3: Finalize DataFrame Implementation
by Kowndinya Renduchintala 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

Hello everyone! I am Kowndinya Renduchintala, a second Year Undergrad in Computer Science and Engineering Department at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay(IIT Bombay). TO THE COMMUNITY: In short, this project’s end goal is to add to the dataframe implementation of GSoC’19, inspired from R, Python and others. This already has features like constructing a column of data frame, the data frame itself in a couple of ways and also supports operations like select, join etc. My main focus is on adding features that are most desired by a data scientist working with REAL WORLD data and I have added some such possible features in the draft linked below. I have never been into Open Source Software Development before. I would like to make this first attempt of mine a success and I hence seek for advice from anyone willing to spare time, to improve upon my list of deliverables, for establishing the foundation of Boost.uBlas as a new data science library. TO THE MENTOR(David): My progress so far: I have glanced through the GSoC’19 implementation, and referred to some pandas docs to make this draft. I am actually a bit worried because I was too late at completing my Competency test and contacting you, the main reason being a very hectic coursework of mine. The only remaining things are – Modifying the README.md for GitHub Actions Usage and some basic error handling in the code. I have shared the draft in the Google’s portal which also contains a link to my forked repository of ublas, containing my solutions to the competency test. I will also be completing the remaining things(possibly also improve small parts like updating naïve matrix multiplication to Strassen’s) in about 2 days. Also, I want to have a little chat with you as I found out that you were the mentor for this project in 2019 and you might be having some pre-conceived ideas on improving the current implementation, from your previous interaction. Please let me know what you think… Here is the link to my proposal draft : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cnSrrOWfbteJKlmGxiIY9R5H_-YSkb-n/view? usp=sharing Cheers, Kowndinya

Hello i am Amit kumar. I am currently in third year of undergraduate bachelor's degree program , my field of study is Information Technology.I really curious about open source development and i always support open source software , but i have never contributed to any open source project . I have intermediate level command on c++ and i am doing competitive programming from my first year two and half year from now this is my codeforces <https://codeforces.com/profile/stream_cipher> and codechef <https://www.codechef.com/users/ammitkumar> profile link. I am very beginner to the field of software development but i know some website development . I really want to contribute to the Boost C++ library but i don't have any idea about how to submit the first proposal and how to select the topic on which i should work on please suggest me the path way. waiting for your reply. Thaks :)

[Boost] [Lambda2] Review starts Monday March 22, 2021 to March 31, 2021
by Joel de Guzman 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

The Boost formal review of the Lambda2, authored by Peter Dimov, starts Monday, March 22, 2021 to March 31, 2021 (inclusive). Documentation: https://pdimov.github.io/lambda2/doc/html/lambda2.html Source: https://github.com/pdimov/lambda2/ Lambda2 is a simple, but functional, C++14 lambda library. It takes advantage of the fact that the standard <functional> header already provides placeholders _1, _2, _3, and so on, for use with std::bind, and function objects such as std::plus, std::greater, std::logical_not, and std::bit_xor, corresponding to arithmetic, relational, logical and bitwise operators. Please provide in your review information you think is valuable to understand your choice to ACCEPT or REJECT including Lambda2 as a Boost library. Please be explicit about your decision (ACCEPT or REJECT). Some other questions you might want to consider answering: - What is your evaluation of the design? - What is your evaluation of the implementation? - What is your evaluation of the documentation? - What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? - Did you try to use the library? With which compiler(s)? Did you have any problems? - How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? - Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? More information about the Boost Formal Review Process can be found at: http://www.boost.org/community/reviews.html The review is open to anyone who is prepared to put in the work of evaluating and reviewing the library. Prior experience in contributing to Boost reviews is not a requirement. Thank you for your efforts in the Boost community. They are very much appreciated. Peter is often available in the CppLang Slack #boost channel should you require any clarification not covered by the documentation. I am not frequently available in the Slack channel, but I'll certainly pay attention to the discussions. Please don't hesitate to ping me if needed. Cheers, --Joel de Guzman

FFT proposal for gsoc 2021
by Eduardo Quintana 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

Hi Boost community, I've been working on a C++ templated library for Fast Fourier Transforms, https://github.com/Lagrang3/fftx. Templated because some FFT algorithms are algebraic-field independent, eg. you could FFT an array of N matrices provided a Nth matrix-root-of-unity is given. As a result you could have a single algorithm for a variety of underlying, eg. `std::complex<float>`, `std::complex<double>`, `std::complex<long double>`, `boost::math::quaternion`, finite field types (this would yield the "Number theoretic transform" https://cp-algorithms.com/algebra/fft.html#toc-tgt-6) I would like to improve this library during the GSOC 2021, as a proposal for inclusion inside Boost.Math or Boost.Algorithms. Is there anyone interested in supervising this project? Any opinions? Best regards, Eduardo Quintana

[GSoC] Boost.Real GSoC Proposal Feedback
by Divyam Singal 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Hi all, This is Divyam, a 2nd year CSE student at IIT Guwahati. I have shared my draft proposal through GSoC website. I have shared the drive link to the pdf, as docs don't support rendering of LaTeX maths and graphs. You can comment to provide review by right-clicking that portion in the pdf. Do have a look at it and provide the feedback so that I can make the necessary changes. Thanks and Regards, Divyam Singal

[Boost][GIL][GSOC21]Review and Feedback for Boost GIL project proposal
by sayan chaudhuri 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Hello Everyone, My name is Sayan Chaudhuri. I am a final year,undergraduate student,in the Computer Science and Engineering department of IEM,India . I am eager to participate in the GSOC 2021 and willing to contribute to the Boost GIL library. I am looking to implement the ORB feature descriptor for BOOST GIL . Currently the only keypoint detector present is Harris Corner. And no separate descriptors are present. ORB comes with both a keypoint detector and descriptor bundled and it is suitable for real time systems and also license free. Feature descriptors are important for tasks like object recognition, structure from motion, image stitching etc. And ORB is a good choice for real time systems. I am attaching the link of my project proposal for the same below. I would request anyone who is interested to mentor me or co-mentor to kindly have a look at my proposal. I would really appreciate any feedback from your side and I am looking to continue the discussion of the project further. Proposal link : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ARL57qRdNWPGe3GlqY1n8E31LyUCvyIyvBk_agz… Thank you.
