----------------------------------------

Hi [~rakesh_chinta], [~anantbietec],

If you guys have submitted a proposal to GSoC, could you please paste the title 
here?
I found a proposal by Rakesh titled "Apache GSOC Project Proposal". 
[~rakesh_chinta] - is the proposal for this project?
[~anantbietec] - have you submitted any proposals?


> Implement and scale Factorization Machines using SystemML

> Factorization Machines have gained popularity in recent years due to their 
> effectiveness in recommendation systems. FMs are general predictors which 
> allow to capture interactions between all features in a features matrix. The 
> feature matrices pertinent to the recommendation systems are highly sparse. 
> SystemML's highly efficient distributed sparse matrix operations can be 
> leveraged to implement FMs in a scalable fashion. Given the closed model 
> equation of FMs, the model parameters can be learned using gradient descent 
> methods.
> This project aims to implement FMs as described in the first paper:
> http://www.algo.uni-konstanz.de/members/rendle/pdf/Rendle2010FM.pdf
> We'll showcase the scalability of SystemML implementation of FMs by creating 
> an end-to-end recommendation system.
> Basic understanding of machine learning and optimization techniques is 
> required. Will need to collaborate with the team to resolve scaling and other 
> systems related issues.
