Hi David. Congratulations for landing an internship at Google. Who are you working with?
I am sorry that you can't make enough time for GSOC but I understand your situation. It would have been nice if we could have talked this through a bit earlier but that is probably partly my fault. I hope you still had some fun working on the project. It would be great if you could wrap up your code at some point so that we might be able to include something in sklearn and make use of the effort you put into the project. I hope this doesn't reflect badly on any one "above", i.e. sklearn or PSF but I can't really judge (Gael?). Hope you have a good time in Switzerland. Cheers, Andy ps: sent from my internship at Microsoft in Cambridge ;) ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ----- Von: "David Marek" <[email protected]> An: [email protected] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 11.

I now live in Switzerland and work at Google. I received the offer after I started working on my project. I am very interested in scikit-learn, I thought it would be possible to work on it in my spare time, but I think that's not how gsoc should work and it would be better if I step off. I have implemented a working implementation of backpropagation, with squared loss, cross-entropy loss and momentum term. I was able to create gradient checking and assure that the sgd works right. When I was experimenting with MNIST dataset I was able to get close to the expected results, even though the computation took whole day. However, I don't have the time now to continue with developing, I hope I'll be able to work after my internship is over, but that will be over gsoc. I am sorry for all problems this cause to you. I like the project, but there is a difference between gsoc and actually working at Google office.
