02:41 < zoq> SagarUdasiGitter: Hello and welcome, you are not too late :) Let us know if there is anything that you feel needs clarification.

08:11 < GauravKumarGitte> Hello Everyone, I am Gaurav Kumar, a Sophomore in Electronics and Communication at SVNIT, Surat. I am a bit new to ml/dl and have worked with basic algorithms and tried their implementation from scratch in python. I went through project submissions for GSoC 2020 and they feel like the ones I want to do myself. So, I'll start with the env setup today and will try to understand the source code and structures.

08:11 < GauravKumarGitte> Hopefully, I can learn greatly and be an active part of your community.

IIIT Gwalior.And i have been in ml/dl since 6 months,i know all the maths and the theoretical knowledge and a decent knowledge about different neural network architecture.I am also having decent knowledge of regression,classification problem,etc.After completing some courses and by clearing my concepts by making some projects.Now i am really fascinated for open source

09:56 < pranav-mscGitter> contributions and i am completely new for contributions .Very grateful to be here and ready to work on issues and start contributing.

14:49 < AyushSingh[m]> Hi Pranav and Gaurav, there are two pages that should help you get started - <https://www.mlpack.org/community.html> and <https://www.mlpack.org/gsoc.html>.

14:49 < AyushSingh[m]> You can then build mlpack from source. After it, I would suggest going through good first issues so that you guys can start contributing.

14:58 < shrit[m]> @zoq, I am not sure if I can use sudo in jenkins since I am not able to instal the cross-compiler toolchain http://ci.mlpack.org/job/aarch64/configure

14:58 < shrit[m]> Do you have an idea how to do that? otherwise, I am looking to specify the build for a specific branch, I am still not sure how to do it

15:34 < ABHINAVANAND[m]> Hi, I am Abhinav from India. I am a 4th year undergrad pursuing Mathematics and Computing from IIT Guwahati. I am interested in applying for Gsoc in mlpack. I have been contributing for the past month. I have gone through the ideas page and found the idea of Implementation of ANN modules very interesting.

17:42 < rcurtin[m]1> shrit just let me know which packages you need on which build host and I can install them 👍

17:44 < shrit[m]> @ryan thanks, all the packages are here for aarch64 sudo apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated xz-utils g++ gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi g++-arm-linux-gnueabi gfortran-arm-linux-gnueabi qemu-system-arm

17:44 < shrit[m]> there are more

17:44 < shrit[m]> sudo apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated g++ xz-utils g++-aarch64-linux-gnu gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu gfortran-aarch64-linux-gnu qemu-system-aarch64

17:44 < shrit[m]> I think this will cover arm32 and arm64

17:45 < shrit[m]> Considering the nodes, I think the best is to have on all nodes, otherwise I do not have any particular choice

18:51 < rcurtin[m]1> maybe can you restrict the build to just one for now? I'll install the packages on 'master'

19:06 < shrit[m]> Of course, I just do not want to bother you in the next week to install the next one, the more important are the aarch64 for now.

19:07 < shrit[m]> many thanks

20:11 < zoq> shrit[m]: Installed everything on polar and restricted the "aarch64" job to run only on polar for now.

20:11 < zoq> shrit[m]: The option is called "Restrict where this project can be run" in the job config.

20:22 < shrit[m]> Thanks I can see the modifications

20:22 < shrit[m]> I have started a build let us see if everything goes fine

22:01 < shrit[m]> @zoq thanks it seems that mlpack is compiling perfectly on jenkins. However, I forget to include docker in my list of deps to install, would it be possible to added rapidly? sorry for bothering you

22:36 < RyanStoutGitter[> quick question. I was looking at the KFN/aKFN classes. (I'm guessing there isn't, but is there a way to get a point furthest from more than one query point?). So for example, give it 5 points and find the point that is furthest (summed distance to each) from those 5 points? Thanks!

22:36 < RyanStoutGitter[> or is there a good way to implement it building on mlpack

22:36 < RyanStoutGitter[> thanks!
