Hi Lee, As you can see on http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2012, you have another 10 days to meet these expectations. That said, if you do not have time to pursue the GSOC, you shouldn't apply. I stress that it is a full time job. Good luck with your deadline, Gael On Thu, Apr 05, 2012

hello vlad, hope you're doing better. My gut feeling reading the proposal is that you clearly know what you're talking about as you know well the code base but I think you should be more specific about where the low hanging fruits are and which modules deserve some love in terms of speed. Alex

Our affinity propagation really doesn't scale. I quickly tried to make it work on sparse matrices, but it turned out to be some work. That said, it's a crappy algorithm :$. Gael - Original message - > Hi Lee. > I'd have to have a look that the papers again to judge this better. > Maybe

Hi Lee. I'd have to have a look that the papers again to judge this better. Maybe I'll have time on the weekend. What I would also like to see in the clustering module would be a more scalable mean shift and maybe also quickshift. Cheers, Andy On 03/30/2012 06:30 AM, Lee Zamparo wrote: > Hello

Could you elaborate your strategies for speeding up kernel k-means? As far as I know, kernel k-means is very expensive. Mathieu -- This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.
