GSoC 2018 project ideas

Intro

A list of ideas for Google Summer of Code 2018 of new functionality and projects in Gensim, topic modelling for humans.

Potential mentors:

• Ivan Menshikh
• Jayant Jain
• Shiva Manne

First of all, please have a look to gensim roadmap 2018, this demonstrates our main ideas target for this year.

You can suggest any project related to NLP, which, in your opinion, will be a successful addition to gensim, but please consider our wishes.

Below you will find the directions that we would be very happy to see in gensim

Documentation

Difficulty: medium

Background: We already have a large number of models, therefore, we want to pay more attention to quality (documentation is main thing here), because if we have a great model and lack of documentation - nobody will use it! For this reason, we want to significantly improve our documentation.

ToDo:

• [WIP] Docstrings for all stuff in gensim
• New "beginner tutorial chain" (persistent on site and in repository)
• User-guides for all stuff (sphinx-gallery)
• New documentation website
• New structure of documentation
