Thanks for quick response! After you described situation, that you have more than one student per project, and Kaushik Varanasi said that he had already done some work for sparse matrices project I decided that I won't be able to create competitive proposal for this year program. I think so bec

Hello everybody. I am interested in contribution to scikit-learn project during GSOC 2014. My name is Mikalai Parafeniuk. I am a final year CS student from Belarus. I am particularly interested in project which suggests adding scipy.sparse matrix support to Decision Tree Implementation. Unfortu
