Hi Marko,
This is a good fit with the sort of thing I was hoping to mentor. I've
worked on Bayesian optimization / black-box optimization for neural
networks, and more recently, for optimizing over the algorithm
configuration of sklearn pipelines (
https://github.com/hyperopt/hyperopt-sklearn).
What's your project idea?
My one concern would be: shouldn't you be writing your thesis? (Is your
supervisor supportive of you taking 4 months to work on GSoC?)
