<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hello everyone!<br><br></div>I'm Ayush Tomar, junior undergrad in Computer Science from New Delhi, India. I love C++ coding and working on machine learning and information retrieval project. I was exploring the GSoC ideas for Xapian and the project on "Adding Weighting Schemes" looked really interesting to me. I wanted to work on text mining/IR this summer and this idea seems perfect!<br><br></div>I have gone through the getting started guide and started to understand of how the Xapian code is connected and identifying which parts I need to focus on for the project. I have started to research what similar and new schemes could be added to Xapian. It'll be great help if someone could suggest a weighting scheme on which I should focus for the entry level task. This will help me get to the coding part quickly and help in writing a proposal which is strong both in terms of research (possible schemes) and shows my ability to code according to requirements of Xapian. <br><br></div>I hope I'm not too late to start and could work on something substantial till the proposal drafting period starts.<br></div><br></div>Best,<br></div>Ayush<br><div><div><div><div><div><div><br></div><div><div><div><div>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Ayush Tomar<br></div><div>Junior Undergraduate</div><div>Deptt. of Computer Engg.<font color="#000000"> </font><br></div><div>Delhi Technological University </div><div><i>(formerly Delhi College of Engineering)</i></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
