[SciPy-Dev] GSoC status update

[Ralf Gommers]

Hi all,

Here's an update on the status of our GSoC projects.

Antonio is making some great progress on his large-scale constrained
optimizer.  He has written a couple of nice blog posts to explain parts of
the design at https://antonior92.github.io/year-archive/.  So far he has
been working in a separate repo (
https://github.com/antonior92/ip-nonlinear-solver); a first pull request is
forthcoming though.  The wiki (https://github.com/antonior92/ip-nonlinear-
solver/wiki) and issues 4 and 5 on that repo give a good overview of
progress.

Aswhin unfortunately did not pass the first evaluation.  His progress until
that evaluation can be seen in his repo (
https://github.com/ashwinpathak20/scipy, branches diff-1 and hessian-diff)
and his blog (https://ashwinpathak20.github.io/year-archive/).  Matt and I
(his co-mentors) do thank him for the effort he put into his project.

All student blogs for projects under the PSF can be found at
https://blogs.python-gsoc.org/

Cheers,
Ralf
