@himanshupathak21061998 I have left a few comments :)
< walragatver[m]>
jeffin143 : Let's have a meet tomorrow at 22:30 IST. Let me know what you think about it.
< KhizirSiddiquiGi>
Unexpectedly `GmmTrainMainTest` fails in my PR (unrelated to it). Can someone help me around it? PR #2406
< rcurtin>
KhizirSiddiquiGi: how recently did you merge master? I remember that we recently merged a PR that loosened the tolerance for those tests
< rcurtin>
it's likely that the failure isn't caused by your code, just "unlucky"; so personally I don't think you need to worry about it
< KhizirSiddiquiGi>
umm, I am not sure, a day or two? Anyways, I will just update again.
< rcurtin>
ok, it was definitely more than a day or two ago, so probably that change is already in your branch
< KhizirSiddiquiGi>
this branch could be a lot more days older xD I am just not sure, sorry xD
< rcurtin>
sure, it's no harm either way :) in any case it's virtually certain that the failure is not a result of your code and you shouldn't need to worry about it
< KhizirSiddiquiGi>
thanks. xD
< KhizirSiddiquiGi>
btw, the PR is about Silhouette Scores, I was using clustering algorithms few days back, and realized it is missing in mlpack. I hope you people like the idea. :)
< rcurtin>
sounds good, as always the issue will just be finding time to review it :)

Hello everyone, is there anyone here for the kick-off meeting? Just wanted to make sure I don't talk to myself :)
< rcurtin>
I'm here :)
< zoq>
Hm, well I guess we both know who this works :)
< AnjishnuGitter[m>
I am here :)
< HimanshuPathakGi>

< nishantkr18[m]>
Hey @zoq!
< zoq>
how

< gitter_eddelbuet>
Hi all
< zoq>
Alright, perfect.
< zoq>
Let's wait 2 more minutes, before we start.
< chopper_inbound[>
Hi :)
< zoq>
Was a little bit worried, I might be the only one :)
RyanBirminghamGi has joined #mlpack
< RyanBirminghamGi>
Hello! I got confused and missed the video call yesterday
< gitter_eddelbuet>
I had a reminder set and missed the reminder. Grrr.
< zoq>
good that we have another meeting
< zoq>
Okay, let's start.
< gitter_eddelbuet>
So extra thanks to Marcus for a reminder-reminder by email :)
< yashwants19[m]>
Hey everyone
< zoq>
I'm Marcus, I'm one of the organization administrators for mlpack. Pretty sure I have met all of you in IRC, Github, the mailing list or in one of the zoom calls.
< zoq>
The purpose of this meeting is to welcome everyone to GSoC, go quickly over how the program works, what the expectations are for students and mentors, and then we can all introduce ourselves and get to know each other a little bit.
< zoq>
The channel is logged, so anyone who wants to refer to this later, you can see the logs at http://www.mlpack.org/irc/
< zoq>
let me check if that works
< zoq>
yep, works
< zoq>
First of all, congratulations to all of you for being accepted!
robertohueso has joined #mlpack
< zoq>
I think we say this every year, but it's true, it was once again very competitive. We had 88 applications for 8 spots.
< zoq>
Last year we had about 90 applications and 9 slots so pretty similar.
< zoq>
Once again it was difficult to select the best applications from all these, but we did our best and we selected each of you.
< zoq>
Right now, we are in the Community Bonding period, which lasts until June 1st.
< HimanshuPathakGi>
Thanks :)
< zoq>
:)
< zoq>
The period is a good time to get to know your mentor, the community, poke around the code etc.
< zoq>
Adding on that point, discussion in here (#mlpack) isn't limited to just discussion of mlpack.
< zoq>
I guess I should mention (#mlpack) is synced over matrix with slack, gitter etc. so you can use whatever you like.
< zoq>
Thanks, Ryan for setting this up.
< zoq>
Anyway, in previous years we used the channel for some nice discussions on music recommendations. Always excited to get some recommendations, so if you have some, please post them here :)
< zoq>
Once the community bonding period is over, coding starts on June 1st.
< zoq>
Note the community bonding period being over doesn't mean that we can't still talk about non-mlpack things; we are a friendly community, so you are free to participate in that community in any way that you like.
< zoq>
During the summer, there are three evaluation periods:
< zoq>
from June 29 - July 3
< zoq>
July 27 - 31
< zoq>
and then the final evaluation from August 31th until September 7.
< zoq>
There's no need to be too afraid of the evaluations, we've selected each of you as we clearly think you are capable of doing the project that you proposed.
< zoq>
After GSoC ends on September 8, then we hope that you will hang around, continue to be a part of the community, and then maybe participate in future GSoCs as a student or mentor :)
< zoq>
That's the basic timeline.
< zoq>
Before I move on to expectations, any questions, clarifications or comments?
< rcurtin>
last year zoq recommended Trentemoller and it is a good addition to my collection, so maybe can we get more recommendations in this vein? :-D
< zoq>
ohh, yeah, I have some songs to add
< zoq>
Okay, if there are no questions, I will move on.
< zoq>
But, if there are any other questions do feel free to interrupt me anytime :)
< zoq>
Next we can talk about student and mentor expectations.
< zoq>
Hopefully, the expectations seem reasonable to anyone and nobody should be apprehensive or worried.
< zoq>
During the summer, students are expected to be working the equivalent of a full-time job (In Germany this is "40 hours a week" but in other countries it's slightly different, so, whatever your definition of 'full-time job' is can apply).
< zoq>
There is no hard requirement on that, if you'd like to work more some weeks and less some other weeks, that is perfectly okay, so long as the work you've proposed is continuing to get done.
< zoq>
It's also true that timelines in the proposal tend to be very different than reality.
< zoq>
Sometimes projects go faster than expected, and sometimes they go slower than expected.
< zoq>
If either of these things is happening with your project, you should approach your mentor and work with them to update the timeline accordingly.
< zoq>
Sometimes this means that some of your goals will not fit in the summer. Sometimes it means that you didn't plan enough work and can actually add more.
< zoq>
But it is certainly not a problem if a situation like this happens, so long as you are working with your mentor to ensure that you have a solid plan in place throughout the summer.
< zoq>
Adding on that point, it's really important to maintain regular communications with your mentor.
< zoq>
You should be communicating with your mentor nearly every day that you are working, and they should be kept up-to-date with what you are doing.
< zoq>
Usually it can be really helpful to regularly push your code to your Github fork of the repository, so that your mentor can keep an eye on it and comment.
< zoq>
If you don't keep in touch with your mentor, then we as an organization don't know what you're up to, and this can be a problem at evaluation time. We are supposed to evaluate your progress, and so if we don't know what you have been doing it is difficult to evaluate.
< zoq>
Also, do be sure to keep in touch because disappearing students are a common thing in the entire GSoC program, and generally students who disappear have to be failed since they don't do the work they proposed.
< zoq>
That said, we have never failed any students, so if you're worried about the evaluations, don't be; we aren't harsh.
< zoq>
However, that's not a pass to just do no work at all, we are perfectly ready to fail students if we need to.
< zoq>
The real key here is just being reasonable: if you overproposed or underproposed, it doesn't matter, we can figure out as we go what the right thing is in the end; what matters is that you make reasonable progress, show that you are learning, and can achieve the goals jointly set by you and your mentor.
< zoq>
How you communicate with your mentor is up to you, but we'd encourage you to communicate in a public way (mailing list, IRC, gitter, slack, github issues, etc.).
< zoq>
That way, others can jump in and help.
< zoq>
Students are also expected to provide a weekly update of their project to the community.
< zoq>
In the past, this has been done with a weekly email post, or a post to the mlpack blog: http://mlpack.org/blog/
< zoq>
The mlpack blog is a little unmaintained right now; so maybe it's best if everyone chooses their own solution; so whatever you want to do is just fine, but the community needs to be able to see some kind of update.
< zoq>
Just to name some example, github pages, dev.to, medium, could work, in the meeting yesterday someone mentioned Medium has a paywall, so it might be good to check that before.
< zoq>
Anyway, these weekly updates are nice for others in the community who may not be your mentor or may not even be a part of GSoC to see what is going on inside the program.
< zoq>
The blog - http://mlpack.org/blog/ has lots of examples of weekly updates from previous years, so you could take a look at those to get an idea.
< zoq>
Also, it's perfectly okay for students to take vacation time or be otherwise unavailable (like maybe you have a trip planned already or something).
< zoq>
But so that we don't think that you have disappeared, it's really important that you let your mentor know when you will be unavailable.
< zoq>
Lastly, we have a Code of Conduct, please do not violate the code of conduct; nobody ever has, we don't need a first time; it should be easy to avoid violating it :)
< zoq>
If anything in those guidelines isn't clear, open a PR or an issue! You can help make it better.
< zoq>
It's generally expected that students will be respectful towards the community and the community is respectful towards the student!.
< zoq>
If you are ever in a situation where someone's said something to you that's off-putting (even if it's me!), please do speak up so that we can resolve the situation in a friendly way.
< zoq>
Before I move on to mentor expectations, let's pause for a minute or two, in case anyone has any questions or comments?
< jeffin143[m]>
That was some typing :)
< zoq>
Well, I just added and update some parts from last year, but yeah let's pretend I wrote that all in the last minutes :)
< rcurtin>
:-D
< zoq>
Again, if you have any questions during the summer or at any time do feel free to ask!
< zoq>
Moving on to mentor expectations. These are important to point out so that students know what they can expect.
< zoq>
Mentors are expected to work with their students to find times that both they and the student are regularly available to communicate and work with each other.
< zoq>
Mentors should also be willing to help debug code problems and help students understand theory or papers as needed.
< zoq>
Definitely the mentor is not expected to do the work of the project, but, they should be there to help when they are needed.
< zoq>
Just like for students, it's important that the mentor notifies their students (and probably others) if they will be unavailable during the summer period due to a vacation or similar.
< zoq>
In general, mentors should aim to communicate with their student in public so the community can see the progress of the project.
< zoq>
But like I said earlier this is not a firm requirement, and whatever works best for a given student-mentor combination should be used.
< zoq>
Mentors are required to submit the two midterm evaluations and final evaluation for the student, Google is pretty firm about the deadline.
< zoq>
Google sends emails basically every day when the evaluations haven't been done :)
< zoq>
Mentors should also track the progress of their student's project and make sure that the project is proceeding according to the timeline.
< zoq>
If this is not happening (for whatever reason), they should work with the student to establish a more realistic timeline and set of goals.
< zoq>
Mentors shouldn't choose to fail students without any warning, in any situation like this, the student should be made adequately aware of what the expectations for a passing evaluation are.
< zoq>
So, that does it for the mentor expectations.
< zoq>
The last thing is, to set up the organization properly on Github, I'll need to get everyone's Github accounts.
< zoq>
I guess we already have all of these, or, at least, the ones each of you have used to contribute to mlpack in the past?
< zoq>
But if you want to use a different one for some reason, do let me know!
< zoq>
Any questions about expectations, communications, process, etc.?
< zoq>
Ok, moving on :) - Let's talk about the community.
< zoq>
The community has grown a lot, in 2011 it was just Ryan and a couple of undergraduates; working in the lab, and now there are over 170 contributors!
< zoq>
At least that's the number from the github page.
< zoq>
We actually have contributors from every continent except Antarctica, really cool fact :)
< zoq>
Maybe we should do a workshop in Antarctica :)
< zoq>
Lots of countries from around the world, including some from North Korea.
< zoq>
We even have some contributions by a deep learning system as well - https://github.com/C0deAi
< zoq>
Last year we joined NumFocus - https://numfocus.org/, they are also part of GSoC, functioning as an umbrella organization.
< zoq>
NumFocus coordinates some interesting projects and conferences like PyData, so if you like to present some mlpack related projects please let us know and I'm sure we can help you.
< zoq>
They also help us to get some free services like compute credits or they also provided the zoom account we use for our bi-weekly meetings.
< zoq>
So, that's a quick overview of the mlpack community.
< zoq>
I am sure there are lots of things I have left out.
< zoq>
But, I'm really excited about the future.
< zoq>
So moving on to the last part, introductions, so we can all get to know each other a bit :)
< zoq>
The fun part :)
< zoq>
Or are there any questions?
< zoq>
Looks like there are no questions, but if there are any, please don't hestiate to ask.
< zoq>
Okay, moving on to introductions, I figured what we can do is say who we are, where we live what we are working on over the summer and what our hobbies are.
< rcurtin>
everything seems to clear to me, but then, I might be biased because I've done this for many years now :)
< zoq>
rcurtin: yes :)
< zoq>
Let me start.
< zoq>
I'm Marcus, I'm located in Germany, Berlin, in my day job I work on different machine learning projects but most currently I work on Video Super-Resolution.
< zoq>
In my free time, I do all sorts of fun activities, paragliding, rock climbing (before COVID-19).
< zoq>
Currently, I'm trying to get a pilot license, just took a couple of lessons.
< zoq>
But I will get there.
< zoq>
Also I really like to watch movies, I think all of like to watch movies.
< zoq>
The last one I watched was "Parasite"
< zoq>
Really liked it.
< zoq>
That is my introduction.
< nishantkr18[m]>
Oh yes! that was a really interesting movie!
< ShikharJaiswalGi>
@zoq I see you're a man of culture as well :)
< zoq>
ShikharJaiswalGi: :)
< zoq>
Everyone else should feel free to introduce themselves in whatever order they like :)
< zoq>
We can't go around a circle or anything since we are all on IRC :)
< rcurtin>
ha, yeah, the negotiation process to figure out who goes next is a little harder here :)
< gitter_eddelbuet>
I can break the deadlock. Dirk here, Chicago-based.
< zoq>
yes, please :)
< gitter_eddelbuet>
25 year contributor to Debian, 20 or so years to R, and have been trying to fuse MLPACK and R for a while as Ryan knows :)
< rcurtin>
that's from the beginning, right? I think the first Debian release was late '96?
< gitter_eddelbuet>
Have done GSoC maybe 10 of the 12 or 13 years, also one as admin for R when it was much smaller. Most of them via R, one via Debian, and one somewhere else (one of those search indices).
< gitter_eddelbuet>
(That's complicated. It existed when I joined [doh!] but was pre 1 .0. I need to look that up but 1.0 was then fscked up at the last minute so we had 1.1 ;-) ]
< zoq>
:)
< rcurtin>
:) it is definitely from before my time... I started playing with Knoppix first in 2004 and then finally converged on Debian by probably 2009
< jeffin143[m]>
Oh my god R is older than java
< jeffin143[m]>
When Dirk Eddelbuettel (Gitter) said he had been working on for 20 years
< jeffin143[m]>
I just googled
< zoq>
rcurtin: I thought you are an arch user :)
< jeffin143[m]>
And found that
< ShikharJaiswalGi>
Dirk, I didn't you had a Wikipedia page, it came up when I looked you up. Damn, super cool :)
< walragatver[m]>
<jeffin143[m] "Oh my god R is older than java"> jeffin143: yeah the s language
< zoq>
rcurtin: jeffin143[m]: do you like to go next?
< gitter_eddelbuet>
I still maintain a boatload of Debian packages, but mostly contribute to R and had my 15 mins of fame with the R/C++ integration we put together and which I still maintainer (as well as a few other packages). Otherwise, I mostly worked a quant (== data science) but am now in software working for a data science backend (TileDB) that is pretty cool. So long standing interest in ML, but very "new" here and "green".
< gitter_eddelbuet>
So poss me around if misbehave. Finally, super excited about our project which is off to a _flying_ start. We finally get this fused.
< gitter_eddelbuet>
Over and out,
< jeffin143[m]>
Dirk is god 🥺
< gitter_eddelbuet>
s/poss/boss/ -- can;t type
< RyanBirminghamGi>
Hard act to follow, but
< RyanBirminghamGi>
I'm located in Atlanta, GA, and work with a biomedical informatics team on tools related to cancer research, a field about which I know little. I run and bike around a bunch, and am trying to not be bad at piano. I like to randomly contribute to open source projects as I can sometimes, and am an org admin for caMicroscope.
< zoq>
RyanBirminghamGi: For some reason I can't access the page.
< RyanBirminghamGi>
Yes, though I'm bad at actually maintaining the services :O
< RyanBirminghamGi>
Let me fix that...
< zoq>
jeffin143[m]: please feel free
sreenik_no_hobbi has joined #mlpack
< zoq>
or anyone else who likes to introduce themself :)
< jeffin143[m]>
Sorry about that
< jeffin143[m]>
My Internet was giving problem
< jeffin143[m]>
I am back
< zoq>
Great :)
< jeffin143[m]>
So I am jeffin , have been here for almost 1 year or more now , former gsoc student
< jeffin143[m]>
Have previously worked on NLP related area
< jeffin143[m]>
This year again I was selected as a student and would be working towards dashboard for mlpack
< jeffin143[m]>
Talking about my pastime , recently I have been aligned to chess and have been learning chess theory
< rcurtin>
favre49 was saying yesterday he is a chess player too, maybe you should play each other virtually or something :)
< jeffin143[m]>
I found mlpack when I was looking for something against python since everyone were recommending me to use python for machine learning , and I didn't want to use it
< jeffin143[m]>
And that's how I met mlpack and have stayed there since on
< zoq>
jeffin143[m]: We should play sometime, not sure I have a chance; but maybe AlphaZero can help me.
< jeffin143[m]>
I am not sure the project this is year is tough , but eventually I am sure I will complete it one day and we would give a fight to tensorboard :)
< jeffin143[m]>
Sure zoq :)
< zoq>
jeffin143[m]: Pretty excited about the project.
< jeffin143[m]>
zoq (@freenode_zoq:matrix.org): the start is pretty bad ,
< jeffin143[m]>
Since the things I quoted was completely
< jeffin143[m]>
Revamped
< jeffin143[m]>
So fingers crossed :)
< rcurtin>
jeffin143[m]: no problem, projects are always full of unforeseen circumstances and that's okay :)
< rcurtin>
I can introduce myself too even though I did yesterday :)
< jeffin143[m]>
Go ahead :)
< rcurtin>
I'm Ryan; I live in Atlanta; I haven't been a part of mlpack since "the beginning" in 2007, but I've been here since late 2009 working on the library
< nishantkr18[m]>
Please do
< jeffin143[m]>
You are a man of surprises I am sure you have something new every day
< rcurtin>
it's been truly cool to see the library grow over the years and I really enjoy the process of GSoC every year; it will be really cool to see what comes out of this year too!
< rcurtin>
I'm trying to spend my time on the bandicoot effort, so I might be a little more silent than usual on Github, but I think that's okay because to me bandicoot is really important
< rcurtin>
in my free time, my hobbies are now limited a little bit... I like racing go-karts (I was 11th at the Kart World Championship last year :)) but now I am stuck inside
< rcurtin>
so my current hobby is vintage computing. here's a picture of some mlpack source code printed by an ancient printer:
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
I am Sreenik. I was a student with mlpack last year and I am mentoring this year for the Improvisation of ANN Modules. My hobbies, as my nick says, isn't as fun as Marcus'es or James'es. They vary from things like graphology to playing table tennis (not currently). In the last few days I have been working on a particular aspect of number theory and
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
trying to figure out some (new) patterns :)
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
And, due to some reason or the other my mic never seems to work/be available :(
< zoq>
graphology, that is a unqiue hobby
< rcurtin>
graphology is super cool... makes me wish my handwriting was better
< rcurtin>
anyone who's gotten stickers from me knows how bad it is :-D
< zoq>
:D
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
Oh yes, a month back one of my hobbies included reading proposals :)
< rcurtin>
ha! :)
< zoq>
wow, mine as well :)
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
rcurtin yes I have received stickers from you
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
Even my handwriting is dirty but graphology taught me that good looking handwriting isn't always a reflection of good character, so... I never bothered to change it
< shrit[m]>
Hi, I am Omar, I live in Palaiseau, France, I will be trying to put mlpack on 386 Ryan's processor this year, with all old computers we can have. I am a 3 year PhD student, The objective of my work is to put some neural network on quadrotors to make them swarm together. My hobbies are hiking, swimming, doing some music, and flying some drones into a tree. I would like to get a pilot drone license, but I do not think I will
< shrit[m]>
have time to do it.
< rcurtin>
> flying some drones into a tree
< rcurtin>
:-D
< zoq>
shrit[m]: flying drones into trees, that's an expensive hobby
< rcurtin>
depends on the comparative strength of the drone vs. the tree I guess
< jeffin143[m]>
In india it's easy to get driving licence but not pilot :)
< zoq>
jeffin143[m]: Do I like to drive in india, I mean as an outsider?
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
zoq it's not a good idea to drive in India, especially if you are accustomed to autobahns
< shrit[m]>
Now, we need to have a license to fly drones in France. However, I understood that the best way is to have small drones (Pico drones) size of credit card, when they hit object at low speed they do not break, because of low inertia.
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
But yes, as a pilot, I think India would be a good choice, plenty of airspace (lesser chance of sneeking into other countries if that counts)
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
shrit[m] what is the microcontroller you use for pico drones? I mean, it has to be really battery conserving
< zoq>
sreenik_no_hobbi: Yeah, some people think there is no speed limit on the German Autobahn, but that's not true, there are only certain areas where you can drive as fast as you want.
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
zoq nevertheless, still cool :D
< zoq>
sreenik_no_hobbi: Right, if you have the right car, it's fun :)
< shrit[m]>
I remember in my first master internship (5 years ago), we hired 3 student to build a drone using a 3d Printer, with arduino and some senors, they never fly, but they broke in every imaginable way
< AnjishnuGitter[m>
> `zoq on Freenode` sreenik_no_hobbi: Yeah, some people think there is no speed limit on the German Autobahn, but that's not true, there are only certain areas where you can drive as fast as you want.
< AnjishnuGitter[m>
But you dont have cows on the Autobahn? That could be a problem here :)
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
shrit[m] I'll check it out. Thanks. There are tons of people in my college interested in drones but very few actually end up making a good one
< nishantkr18[m]>
I'd like to go next on introductions :)
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
nishantkr18[m] Sure
KimSangYeon-DGU has joined #mlpack
< zoq>
shrit[m]: Similar situation here in Germany, with the license, there is one exception I think if the drone is < 400g you are allowed to fly it without a license.
< zoq>
nishantkr18[m]: Great :)
< nishantkr18[m]>
Hey everyone! i'm Nishant. I study electronics at the Indian Institute of Technology, in India.
< nishantkr18[m]>
After spending two semesters studing diodes and transistors, I finally realized I was more into computer intelligence :P
< nishantkr18[m]>
I love going out on long drives, especially in the rain!
< nishantkr18[m]>
Apart from that, watching movies and playing the guitar are the two things that soothen me the most.
< nishantkr18[m]>
Infact, I have a ton of good movies to suggest, but none to watch.. So I'd love some recommendations
< shrit[m]>
sreenik_no_hobbi Actually the secret of making a good quadrotor, is having one flight controller that have all sensors embedded on it, and the flight controller have good isloation from the vibration created by the motors
< rcurtin>
nishantkr18[m]: one of my favorite movies is "Dead Man" with Johnny Depp, if you like surrealistic movies :)
< zoq>
Last year I mentioned Game of thrones, a lot of people watched and liked it :)
< nishantkr18[m]>
> nishantkr18: one of my favorite movies is "Dead Man" with Johnny Depp, if you like surrealistic movies :)
< nishantkr18[m]>
I'd add that to my list.. thanks :)
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
shrit[m] I never thought from this perspective. Really happy to know this :)
< zoq>
"Dead Man" looks interesting
< zoq>
ohh, Jim Jarmusch
< zoq>
I should have known this
< sreenik_no_hobbi>
nishantkr18[m] I don't have recommendations as such but if you have cool friends you can stream on discord and watch together with a common voice channel. It is super fun

I would like to go next and introduce myself!
< kartikdutt18Gitt>

kartikdutt18Gitt: Yes, kartikdutt18Gitt I have seen it yes, but it didn't catch me, haven't played the game or read the book if there is a book.
< AnjishnuGitter[m>
I am Anjishnu, CS undergrad from India. I will be working on the ANN stuff of mlpack this summer, building some new stuff and improving the existing ones. I am massively into e-sports, even though I am probably good at only a couple of games. Also, if anyone listens to EDM, I might have some cool suggestions!
< kartikdutt18Gitt>
Ahh, I haven't played the game either. BTW, "Nine Nights • Day 36/36" this is great!
< zoq>
AnjishnuGitter[m: Let me guess Fortnite or CS?
< rcurtin>
AnjishnuGitter[m: I'd be happy to hear some EDM recommendations, although I tend to lean more towards IDM (which I think is a weird name for a genre but the music is great!)
< AnjishnuGitter[m>
Well recently I have been listening to this new group called NEFFEX. The songs are good background music when gaming
< rcurtin>
nice, I will check them out :)
< AnjishnuGitter[m>
I can put together a spotify list of some of the other cool stuff and post it here also later :)
< zoq>
AnjishnuGitter[m: please do
< AnjishnuGitter[m>
Sure!

< kartikdutt18Gitt>
I have a contributing to this organization since December, 2019. My project will be focused on implementing object recognition algorithms like DarkNet as well as object detection algorithms like YOLOv3 and so on. Other than this I also plan to introduce CLI for the models and easy to use API so that one can train a model on any standard / custom dataset in less than 10 lines of code.
< yashwants19[m]>
If you are aware of the characters in the last season Dean and Sam just stop the apocalypse.

Apart from this I like to go running or trekking. The last movie I watched was Extraction and my last series was Ozark. For anime lovers, I liked Demon slayer this year.

Hi everyone! :) I'm Roberto and I live in the south of Spain. I'm currently working on networks related stuff and finishing my last year of AI master's (hopefully). I'm co-mentoring (with Ryan) Omar's project which I'm really excited about! At this time of the day you can usually find me watching videos of people building DIY ultralight planes :D
< rcurtin>
just got back now, this homemade electric airplane video is really cool :)
< zoq>
Right, not sure I should pick that up as a hobby :)
< RyanBirminghamGi>
I've been tempted to train and try to get a pilots license for a while, but I hear it's very expensive and difficult.
< zoq>
RyanBirminghamGi: True, my university has a program where you can get lessons why cheaper.
< RyanBirminghamGi>
So, if I decide to, I should wait until I have fewer commitments.
< zoq>
way
< RyanBirminghamGi>
Jealous :) maybe if I go back for a PhD :P
ImQ009 has quit [Quit: Leaving]
< zoq>
Maybe they are just happy that someone is doing this right now, because this is actually cheaper as getting a driver's license.
< shrit[m]>
Yes they look very cool, also, I would not fly in an airplane made by me
< shrit[m]>
At the same time, I do not have the right to fly a drone, and these guys can fly in a true plane
< rcurtin>
yeah, my friends and I like to work on old cars, but we have so little success keeping old cars running that we're not willing to fly planes... we would definitely die

With these batteries, one can fly a drone for 4 hours,
