@HeikoSrcurtin: wiking I need a bio from you (short), see the MLOSS notes doc17:29
@HeikoSbottom17:29
rcurtinrcurtin: sure, hang on17:37
rcurtinhow serious do you want it to be...? ;)17:37
rcurtinI guess if it needs to be accepted by the NIPS committee it should be serious17:37
@HeikoSjust a few sentences that tell us that you are an MLOSS expert17:39
@HeikoSrcurtin: thx for editing, think I am kinda done17:40
@HeikoSall we would need is a tentative website17:40
rcurtinsure, writing now17:40
@HeikoSbtw I was suggested to inivite the founder of openml17:41
@HeikoSso did that17:41
@HeikoSif he says no I will write to new ceo of github17:41
@HeikoSbut I thought openml fits nips better17:41
@HeikoSas it is ML + OSS rather than github just being OSS17:42
rcurtinI could agree with that, but if you get the new CEO of github to talk anywhere at NIPS, the room will be completely packed17:42
@HeikoSdeadline is tomorrow17:42
@HeikoSdo we want that? :D17:42
@HeikoSI was there when CEO of facebook came to the deep learning workshop in 201217:42
@HeikoSunbearable ;017:42
@HeikoSWell let's see17:42
rcurtinthat's true17:42
@HeikoSI will defo ask if the openml guy says no17:42
@HeikoSrcurtin: merci for editing17:44
@HeikoSwill leave it for now ...17:44
rcurtinsure, sounds good17:44
rcurtinshould be done in 5 minutes or so17:44
@HeikoSrcurtin: ah one more thing17:48
@HeikoSyou said that the gsoc team might fund such things?17:48
@HeikoSor was that viktor saying that?17:48
rcurtinI had said that; if you like, I can get in touch with Cat Allman17:49
@HeikoSyes would you mind?17:49
rcurtinI sat through a session she was putting on last year where basically what she had said was, her job is to have Google give various grants to open source projects and initiatives17:49
@HeikoSwe need travel funding for another person, or two. Plus maybe something more for dinner17:49
rcurtinand requests for a few thousand dollars is not too much for most things17:49
@HeikoSso if we got like 3000 that would be good17:49
@HeikoSyeah pls do get in touch17:49
@HeikoScould you cc me?17:49
rcurtinshe also said to me in person, if we get a paper in based on a GSoC project, she would likely be happy to give more than the $500 that Google already mentions they will give17:49
rcurtinabsolutely, I will do that next17:50
@HeikoSthx17:50
@HeikoSwuill you try to get a paper based on gsoc project? pretty cool that would be17:50
rcurtinusually we do, but they tend to be simple workshop papers, never anything crazy like ICML or NIPS17:50
rcurtinthis year we have a student working on an implementation of LMNN17:51
@HeikoSah cool17:51
@HeikoSwe can do comparisons :)17:51
rcurtinand I think there is enough there that we may actually be able to publish some neat results.  I believe our implementation will be able to scale to hundreds of thousands of points or more, but there is still some optimization to do :)17:51
@HeikoSwith fernados impl17:51
@HeikoScool stuff17:51
rcurtinyeah, definitely17:51
@HeikoSlet me know how it goes!17:51
rcurtinin his proposal is to write benchmarking scripts for it, so we will be able to see17:51
rcurtinHeikoS: how much should I ask for?  a few thousand?  I know that Cat will want to see a number17:59
@HeikoStravel for 2 is 200018:01
@HeikoSand then maybe a bit for a dinner or so18:01
@HeikoS2.5?18:01
rcurtinok, I'll go ahead and ask for $3k then18:01
rcurtinmuch better to get too much than to need to come back :)18:02
rcurtinit's also possible (and I think likely) that she'll say, 'well, we can do half that but not the whole thing...'18:02
rcurtinok, sent an email to cat.  now I will get back to making this shelf :)18:07
