Aditya, Please take a look at the plan in mahout-1929 specifically the list of next steps I identified to see which of those interests you and which you think you can finish in a managable period of time, for all GLM discussions lets keep all our discussions inside that JIRA. I am also in the middle of researching ALS so feel free to take a look at the discussion with Dmitry to see whether you want to work on any of the areas identified in that thread (namely (1) double-weighed ALS (2) bayesian optimization and crossvalidation in an n-dimensional hyperparameter space (3) feature extraction per (preferrably R-like) formula.) , if you have questions ping the list and I'll respond as my bandwidth frees up some more.
Thanks again for your help. ________________________________ From: Aditya <adityasarma...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 7, 2017 7:29 AM To: dev@mahout.apache.org Subject: Re: Regarding Issue MAHOUT-1941 Thanks for the advice Saikat. I'll try to get some hands on experience. I have gone through the mail thread " Contributing an algorithm for Samsara " and was wondering if there are any unit tests / any bug fixes pending to which I could contribute. I will also go through the list of issues in Jira and see if I can contribute to any of them to understand the framework. I'll get back to you if I have any questions.
