Hello everyone, I am Rittik Verma, a third year Computer Science student. I am looking forward to contributing to the Astronomy library for GSoC 2019. I have studied the repository and would like to add the expected features to the library. I was wondering if the potential mentor has already paired up with a student or the position is still available? My projects: https://github.com/codectile Thank you

Respected Sir, I am Parashuram Shourya from India. Currently, I am doing my Master’s in Geoinformatics from Centre of Studies in Resources Engineering(CSRE), Indian Institute of Technology Bombay(IITB). I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering. Currently, I am learning Machine Learning and High-Performance Computing. I have vast programming experience in C, C++, Python I would love to contribute to Boost C++ Libraries in the upcoming Google Summer of Code 2019. I would be very grateful to get any directions to start with so that I can pursue and participate in GSoC 2019 with your organization.

An interest in a neural net library?
by Sergei Marchenko 09 Feb '19

09 Feb '19

Hi everyone. I would like to get your opinion if there is any interest for a library that implements simple neural networks trained via backpropagation. The main idea is to define the configuration of a feed-forward multi-layer network via template parameters, and also provide implementations for a couple of well-known variations of networks (i.e. convolutional, sampling, network ensemble etc). // Define a network ensemble with two networks with the same input and output size, // but different number of neuron layers and different number of neurons in each layer. typedef neural_network<100, 50, 10> network_1; typedef neural_network<100, 70, 20, 10> network_2; auto network = ensemble(network_1(), network_2()); // Train the network from a training set. // item.input is a 100-element input vector. // item.target is the 10-element desired output vector. for (auto item : training_set) network.train(item.input, item.target, learning_rate); // Feed some input data into the network to get the result. auto result = network.process(input); This code on github that my nephew and myself wrote a couple of years ago can be used as a more detailed illustration for the idea: https://github.com/nsokolnikov/mathlib/blob/master/src/neuralnet.h Also, this github repo has two sample projects that illustrate usage of the library. First sample trains a simple network with a simulated activity pattern and then uses the network to classify more simulated load as low, medium, or high: https://github.com/nsokolnikov/mathlib/tree/master/samples/NeuralNetwork Second sample trains a network on a part of MNIST data set of hand-written digits, and then uses the network to recognize the remaining part of the MNIST data set: https://github.com/nsokolnikov/mathlib/tree/master/samples/TextRecognition Thank you, Serguei Martchenko

Sorting and Searching Algorithms Library
by Siddhartha Sen 09 Feb '19

09 Feb '19

Actually, I am interested equally in both searching and sorting algorithms. In sorting algorithms, I am actually trying recursive implementations of all the known algorithms myself, to see if somehow I can find any variations or maybe even an whole new algorithm which can give a better time complexity. As far as searching algorithm goes, my knowledge is unfortunately limited to only binary search and linear search and DFS and BFS if graphs are counted . However I am working on patterns in numbers to try and create a generic searching algorithm for integer arrays and strings. Apart from this, I am afraid I don't have a lot of idea and hence I am seeking guidance.

Feedback desired for reflective enum library
by Nir Friedman 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

Hey, I have a reflective enum library available here: https://github.com/quicknir/wise_enum. I've been working on this on and off for a couple of months. I've added features, dealt with various issues, added docs, expanded support through 11-17 and as idiomatically as possible. Overall I think the library is in nice shape (lacks unit tests though, though I do already have a boost license for the code). I feel like a reflective enum is just a very standard requirement in pretty much every codebase I've ever worked on. Simply to be able to reasonably log enums already makes it mandatory. It's also invaluable in configuration, error message alerting, and many other places. There is nothing for this in boost and actually there isn't really much of a standard, standalone solution anyway. The closest is Better Enums ( http://aantron.github.io/better-enums/) but this has some major issues (it doesn't actually create enums but rather enum-like classes, it targets 03). So I think a library like this is needed and my implementation ticks off the major requirements. Feedback on the overall design, any issues, any key features it fails to meet, would be very useful. The library itself is very small and simple so its easy to review. Once it seems like there's some consensus on the core design I'm willing to do the work involved getting it into boost (naming conventions/requirements, directory structure, tests, boost-style docs, etc). Note I'm not on the boost mailing list so please respond directly to this email so I can see! Cheers, Nir
