Kenneth Knowles commented on BEAM-1439:
---------------------------------------
And also, please engage with the Beam community early - before applications are
reviewed!
Here are some ideas for getting engaged:
# Work through Beam's "getting started" materials such as
https://beam.apache.org/get-started/quickstart-java/
#* Especially get as familiar as you can with the runner that you are
interested in
# Subscribe to d...@beam.apache.org and/or u...@beam.apache.org
# You are welcome to share your applications for early commentary on
d...@beam.apache.org to get early feedback and mentorship (this is quite normal
for GSoC+Apache; even if you don't get selected by GSoC you will learn and make
new acquaintances)
# Pick up starter bugs to get familiar with the codebase beyond our getting
started material
> Beam Example(s) exploring public document datasets

> Key: BEAM-1439
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1439
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: examples-java
> Reporter: Kenneth Knowles
> Assignee: Kenneth Knowles
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: gsoc2017, java, mentor, python
>
> In Beam, we have examples illustrating counting the occurrences of words and
> performing a basic TF-IDF analysis on the works of Shakespeare (or whatever
> you point it at). It would be even cooler to do these analyses, and more, on
> a much larger data set that is really the subject of current investigations.
> In chatting with professors at the University of Washington, I've learned
> that scholars of many fields would really like to explore new and highly
> customized ways of processing the growing body of publicly-available
> scholarly documents, such as PubMed Central. Queries like "show me documents
> where chemical compounds X and Y were both used in the 'method' section"
> So I propose a Google Summer of Code project wherein a student writes some
> large-scale Beam pipelines to perform analyses such as term frequency, bigram
> frequency, etc.
> Skills required:
> - Java or Python
> - (nice to have) Working through the Beam getting started materials
