No, not really. But if you would like to contribute to this project or similar projects, outside of the GSoC period, feel free to get in touch with me. For the GSoC period, each applicant is supposed to write up their own proposal…

Hi,

I read the project description and am extremely interested to participate in GSoC with this.
I wanted to know if you would accept people who are not currently students (I graduated in 2020 and have left my job recently so I have been working independently for a few months).

I have had various jobs and research internships where I worked on using ML to solve different types of problem statements, so I am very interested in interdisciplinary research. Also, although I have developed a curiosity for computational neuroscience, I don’t have any past experience in neuroscience.

Let me know what steps I need to start with if I am someone you consider eligible. Cheers!

Hi,
I am really interested in this project, I feel I have all those mentioned skills to implement this project from Android development (basic to intermediate) to Tensorflow framework deep learning algorithm implementation. Is there any way I can discuss this project and my relevant skills and experience through e-mail?

Thank you.

Dear @suresh.krishna sir,

I am interested in this project. I have gone through your comments on GSoC-21 on the same project also, skimmed through “eye-tracking” papers from nature communication and CVPR-16.
basically implementing a deep CNN with augmentation and hyperparameter tuning on a large-scale gaze-capture dataset to predict Gaze using a smartphone camera.

I will read those papers fully and is there any way I can interact with you through e-mail?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Prantik Deb

yes, this year onwards, google summer of code is open to those who are not students as well, as long as you can commit to the project for the gsoc period. and experience in computational neuroscience is not required at all. i encourage you to apply ! take a look at the source paper, the project definition above, the requirements for your project proposal, and start preparing the proposal ! you can also take a look at last year’s work on this project -

Yes Sir, Yesterday I saw your reply. Thank you.

As an update, and as I believe the program description or instructions to applicants states, if you send us a draft in time, we will be able to give you feedback. I believe there is an option to do this through the portal, or there was one last year. Please update if you find out the process for this year.

The proposal itself, along with your CV, will show how well you have grasped the topic, can research the field, can work independently, can demonstrate your skills and are most likely to push the project forward. The ranking of applicants will be made based on that.

Dear Suresh,

My name is Umang Pandey and I am a senior undergraduate student at IIT
Kanpur. I have a decent research experience in ML/AI and I would love to
be a part of the GSoC this year and make some meaningful contributions to
this project. Please let me know if there are any such
opportunities or tasks available that might make increase my
chances of working with you. Also, what do you look for in an ideal
candidate? Any advice on how to get started would be
greatly appreciated.

Hi @malin :wave:
My name is Muhammed Abdullah and I am an undergraduate from VNIT, Nagpur, India. I am interested in ML and Computer Vision and have done few projects like Face Recognition project
I found the problem statement very intriguing and wish to collaborate. I do have quite good experience with python, PyTorch, and open-source contributions, as well as I, have some experience with Android based projects.(eg: this, this)
I am eager to learn new skills needed for the project. Any suggestion on how to get started would be a great help. Is there anything that I need to prepare prior to proposals?

Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Thank You.

Hi everyone. Absolutely newcomer to INCF community

And I’m also a Computer Vision and Deep Learning enthusiast. Currently, a final year undergraduate student at Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, India. I have interned at Tata-IQ(Analytical wing of Tata’s) where I worked on real-time object detection algorithms, and have also experience in tracking algorithms. I am also doing a research internship on a topic related to leaf classification and disease detection using fewer computational resources.

I came across the project list for this year’s Google Summer of Code and found the project titled “Eye-tracker using deep learning with Python + TensorFlow/Pytorch” quite interesting to me
I am going through the paper https://gazecapture.csail.mit.edu/cvpr2016_gazecapture.pdf and last years implementation Gaze Track | gaze-track

Hi @suresh.krishna
I am pretty sure that it should be possible to DM users in this and similar discourse based forums, but it just isn’t possible for me.

I can’t only DM you, but also any user. Thus, probably I don’t have permissions to do so.

Any suggestion what should I in this case to get in touch with you? I am aware that I could email you from your reply, but I am not sure it’s the best suited place to discuss GSoC.
