What did you do this week?

I finished and pushed the requested changes to the PR as requested by John. I’ve also been working on the prototype for the AutoML model, but progress is a little slower this week as I had to do handle some administrative matters for my next school semester.

What is coming up next?

Working on the AutoML prototype, hopefully it will be done at the end of the week.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

I’m a little unsure about the exact specifications of the AutoML model (how DFFML envisages its usage), will clarify with mentors.

What did you do this week?

I had my PRs reviewed by my mentors John and Saahil this weekend, who largely affirmed my work and requested certain changes to be made. Besides that, I have been working on the first iteration of the AutoML model and planning for the second phase of the project.

What is coming up next?

I will modify my PRs to adhere to the requests of my mentors. I will also continue working on the AutoML model, and hopefully have a working prototype come end of this or next week.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

Not really, though John pointed out some important details during the review that I had missed, and will keep in mind for future open-source projects.

What did you do this week?

I finished the documentation pages for the tuning functionality, finishing my requirements for the midterm milestone. I also received feedback on the tunecli module from my mentor, Hashim, who seemed largely positive about the PR, with some minor modifications and design decisions to be changed.

What is coming up next?

I’m currently waiting for the final commit on my PR, as well as the other small feature engineering operations PR to be approved, to complete the midway milestone. Beyond that, I will begin creating the automl model, incorporating the feature engineering operations and tune functionality.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

Not really. Many of my mentors are ill or otherwise occupied, but otherwise, I am hopeful that we can make progress on approving the PR soon.

What did you do this week?

I added two new tuners to the tunecli PR and two new unit tests,  one for vowpalWabbit and tensorflow.

What is coming up next?

I’ll be creating documentation pages for tuning functionality and the parameter-grid/bayes_opt_gp Tuners.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

Not really, I am just awaiting a PR reviews. One of my mentors, Hashim, is working on a review for the tunecli PR, which is quite lengthy.

What did you do this week?

I’ve created unit tests for several DFFML models for the tune CLI, and met with a mentor to discuss the tune CLI PR.  

What is coming up next?

Since I’ve created sufficient unit tests to meet the midway milestone goals, I will be working on documentation of the new tuning functionality while I await review/approval of my PRs.

Did you get stuck anywhere?

I’m hoping that my mentors will soon be free to review/accept my PRs, so that I may move onto the next step of incorporating additional tuners.
