RE: [julia-users] Re: Julia Summer of Code
Hi, I am new in Julia lang community. I came to know about it through JSoC. Though I didn't get through with my proposal in JSoC but I am very interested in starting up to contribute in packages, modules. Any guidance, pointers will be appreciated.

There were many great proposals and there were some tough choices of how to apply our limited funds, generously contributed by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Even if your project didn't get accepted, we hope to see you around the mailing lists and on GitHub.

Its ok Sir. I am drafting a proposal and will be sharing with you for consideration and discussion for improvement before submission. -Original Message- From: Jiahao Chen cjia...@gmail.com Sent: 30-05-2015 12:13 To: julia-users@googlegroups.com julia-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [julia-users] Re: Julia Summer of Code Sorry, that should have been June 1.

Sir, I know it's 11th hour but I just got the news about JSoC and would be very interested to work on this project. On Saturday, 16 May 2015 09:06:03 UTC+5:30, Miles Lubin wrote: This is both a proposal and a call for interested undergraduate and graduate students: Automatic differentiation is a technique for computing exact numerical derivatives of user-provided code, as opposed to using finite difference approximations which introduce approximation errors. These techniques have a number of applications in statistics, machine learning, optimization, and other fields. Julia as a language is particularly suitable for implementing automatic differentiation, and the existing capabilities are already beyond those of Scipy and MATLAB. We propose a project with the following components: 1. Experiment with the new fast tuple and SIMD features of Julia 0.4 to develop a blazing fast stack-allocated implementation of DualNumbers with multiple epsilon components. Integrate with existing packages like Optim, JuMP, NLsolve, etc., and measure the performance gains over existing implementations. 2. Combine this work with the ForwardDiff package, which aims to provide a unified interface to different techniques for forward-mode automatic differentiation, including for higher-order derivatives. 3. Time permitting, take a step towards the reverse mode of automatic differentiation. Possible projects include developing a new implementation of reverse-mode AD based on the expression-graph format used by JuMP or contributing to existing packages such as ReverseDiffSource and ReverseDiffOverload. There are quite a number of interesting projects in this area (some with avenues for publication), so we can adjust the work according to the student's interests. An ideal student should be interested in experimenting with state-of-the-art techniques to make code fast. No mathematical background beyond calculus is needed. See juliadiff.org for more info. Co-mentors: Miles Lubin and Theodore Papamarkou If this sounds cool and interesting to you, do get in touch!

Sir, I am interested in working on developing the web stack, can we discuss about it.
