Update: GSoC 2025

Seems like we got a GREEN signal haha!

Could you please guide me with the starting things :slight_smile:

Hi, I’m Abhinav Gupta, a 2nd year undergrad at MNIT Jaipur with experience in React, JavaScript, Next.js, and Express, plus some knowledge of 3D models and Three.js. I’m excited about the idea #33 of building visualizations for biological entities and would love to contribute to making complex data more accessible.
Is there anything specific about this project that i should know before starting like the kind of visualizations(2D or 3D) and the github repo attached with this project is just a react app so is there any roadmap or starting issues with which i can start

Hello everyone! :wave:

I’m still finalizing my proposal and open to discussions! Looking forward to collaborating and learning from this amazing community. :rocket:

@Aastha_Bhat if you are interested in being a NiiVue GSoC contributor, I would suggest seeing the NiiVue team Github call.

@neurolabusc I will go through it ,Thank you

Hey folks!

I’m Manit, a student at Computer Science undergrad student at BITS Goa.

I’ve been interested in neuroscience for a while, and this seems to be the perfect opportunity to make a neuroscience pivot :slight_smile:.

I’m very interested in the ‘Serialization and deserialization for Brian simulator models’ (idea 6) project.

@d.goodman @mstimberg could you guys please point me to some good first issues to familiarise myself and get started.

Hi everyone,
I have experience with React, JavaScript, and some data visualization. I’m excited about Idea #33 on building visualizations for biological entities and would love to contribute to this project. Should I reach out to the mentors directly, or is there a preferred way to get started?

@natacha-beck @Serge_Boroday i would like to work on this could you please clarify this!

Hey Everyone!
I am Prathamesh Devadiga, an undergrad based out of PES University, Bangalore. I have been following the INCF organization’s work and also had submitted a proposal last year. I am super passionate about Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Generative AI (RAG/LLMs/Diffusion Models/Agentic Systems) and have worked in this space for over 2 years. I also run an AI Lab and a Consultancy firm : https://aadhara-ai-labs.vercel.app/
I am looking forward to contribute to the project “Building an AI Agent for KnowledgeSpace using RAG” and would love to propose some ideas on how to approach to solve this problem!
Is there any mail id where I could perhaps share my plan-of-action? @visakh @GSoCmentors?

Questions on My Mind:

  1. Why are we switching to GitHub Actions? (I’m curious and really wanted to know to make sure I understand the motto).

  2. Which tool should we use for automated documentation? Also, what does “making releases” mean? Is it about versioning documentation like 1.9, 1.20, etc.? ( I will do some research on this to choose the options available )

  3. What else can I add to this flow to follow best practices? ( Need help from your end as well along with that I will brainstorm for improvements.

Hi @Alberto @Keerthi_Reddy_Kambha,

I’m Sampreeth, a pre-final year undergraduate student in Computer Science and Engineering. I came across the HarmonyHub project and found it incredibly exciting as it aligns perfectly with my research interests in generative AI and music generation.

I have hands-on experience in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) and have published a paper in Springer on these topics. I have also collaborated with Intel on a project that leveraged advanced deep learning techniques. Currently, I am researching music generation and experimenting with different generative models such as VAEs and GANs to create adaptive and dynamic musical compositions.

From a technical standpoint, I am proficient in Python and JavaScript, with experience integrating APIs in real-world applications. I have also worked with Angular and Ionic, making me familiar with the tech stack used in HarmonyHub. Additionally, I have won three hackathons, where I successfully built and integrated APIs into functional projects, demonstrating my ability to develop scalable and innovative solutions.

I am eager to contribute to this project by integrating generative AI into music education, enhancing adaptive learning experiences, and building a user-friendly, code-free interface for educators. I look forward to learning more about the project and collaborating with the team!

Interest in GestureCap – GSoC 2025 (Project 24)
Hello everyone,

I am Harsh Gupta, a 3rd-year B.Tech student majoring in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and AI. I am highly interested in working on the GestureCap project for GSoC 2025.

I have knowledge of computer vision and deep learning, including:

  • Gesture-based classification using OpenCV and PCA.
  • FaceMesh and Hand Mesh detection using MediaPipe.
  • Real-time object detection using YOLO.
  • Image analysis through deep learning for prediction of age and gender from X-rays.

I have gone through the details of the project and would be more than happy to contribute. Can I perform some microtasks or make an initial contribution in order to better prepare for my proposal?

Waiting to hear back from you!

Best regards,
Harsh Gupta

Please be patient; I believe there will be a project page opened here, like last year. Edit - I see that they have been/are being opened now.

Hello everyone,
Can anyone please tell whether I have to start contributing to a project in this organization,before submitting the application for GSoC 2025 .As I am new to GSoc,if anyone has information regarding this please do guide me.

Thank you,
Aastha Bhat

Hi Mentors,
Atharva here, final year AI undergrad from Mumbai, India. Interested in GSoc 25’ at INCF. My focus is Core ML, and GenAI (agents, knowledge graphs).

I’m exploring GSoC for the first time, I was wondering if Project 30: LinkML support for the Resource Information Network: unlocking LLM interrogation of a scientific resource and citation knowledge graph is available to contribution in GSoC2025.

I have been working on GraphRAG for the past few months in my internship, and I have been exploring various GraphDBs like Neo4j, ArangoDB, MemGraph and I believe this project is a perfect fit for my interests.

Thanks,
Atharva Nawadkar
