Now that I look it over it is really a bit emaciated. Still, I think there is an opportunity here to get some components up to date that could be pretty widely used, rethinking the structure and grammar of the library to echo Python's highly successful scikit-learn and Keras libraries. There are a lot of young people who are interested in getting into data science, we might get a good candidate or two looking to distinguish themselves. Also Java is such an important language in data science and engineering, even if a lot of the ML model building to date is in R and Python, so it is a great language for someone entering ML to know. > You have to register as a mentor. :-) > Sent. > > Then, read and follow the guidelines: > http://community.apache.org/guide-to-being-a-mentor.html > > What should be done ASAP is tag existing, or new issues, > with the appropriate label so that tasks will appear here: > http://s.apache.org/gsoc2019ideas Will do tomorrow, hopefully is not too late.
