SAMOA provides a collection of distributed streaming algorithms for the most common data mining and machine learning tasks such as classification, clustering, and regression, as well as programming abstractions to develop new algorithms that run on top of distributed stream processing engines (DSPEs). It features a pluggable architecture that allows it to run on several DSPEs such as Apache Storm, Apache S4, and Apache Samza. SAMOA has been incubating since 2014-12-15. ### Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating: 1. Revitalize the project by resuming development 2.

discussed to improve SAMOA's ML and other interfaces with systems like
Kafka, etc.
- We submitted a proposal for funding which will help the development of new
features on Samoa.
- We have been working on a new release 0.5.0, probably coming up in one
month. This release will have support for Kafka, a more well-rounded
support for Avro and Json formats, as well as support to store predictions
outputted from the model.
- There was also significant work done to integrate correctly the instances
between MOA and SAMOA, as there was a deviation of how they were defined
and hindered the portability of new methods from MOA to SAMOA.
- Early discussions to increase the committers / developers team by inviting
new contributors to the panel.

Activity on this podling remains low. It is good to see a new
committer being elected. Shouldn't that be noted in the final section
on when new committers and PMC members were elected?

Singa
Singa is a distributed deep learning platform.
Singa has been incubating since 2015-03-17.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Improve distributed training in SINGA V1.2
2. Improve the documentation and add more examples
3. Attract more contributors
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?
No
How has the community developed since the last report?
There were 66, 60, and 43 emails from dev@ list in December 2016, January
2017 and February 2017 respectively.
There are 67 new commits since the last report.
One new committer (Li Boon Tan) was added.
How has the project developed since the last report?
We released the V1.1 version after the last report. The following features
were added after last report
+ Ease the installation process via Docker images, debian packages, conda
packages and Amazon AMI (CPU version)
+ Integrate with Jenkins for automatically generating convenient packages
and updating the website.
+ Improve the model classes: adding debug mode, adding the Concat and Slice
layers, and supporting model loading and saving via the Snapshot API
+ Add image_tool.py for image augmentation and rafiki sub-package for
providing RESTFul APIs.
+ Enable Java binding (basic) for SINGA
+ Add examples pre-trained from Caffe, e.g., GoogleNet, and examples
pre-trained from torch, e.g. ResNet
How would you assess the podling's maturity?

On the maturity assessment I would say the community is in the
"Community building" phase but not far from the "Nearing graduation"
phase.

SAMOA provides a collection of distributed streaming algorithms for the most common data mining and machine learning tasks such as classification, clustering, and regression, as well as programming abstractions to develop new algorithms that run on top of distributed stream processing engines (DSPEs). It features a pluggable architecture that allows it to run on several DSPEs such as Apache Flink, Apache Storm, Apache Apex and Apache Samza. SAMOA has been incubating since 2014-12-15. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Grow the developer base 2. Grow the user base 3. Add some more ML techniques Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? None How has the community developed since the last report? Mailing list activity (September 2016 - November 2016): * @dev: 87 messages Jira issues backlog (September 2016 - November 2016): * Created: 0 * Resolved: 1 - We manage to resolve the pending issue regarding the integration of Apache Apex with Samoa. - Also, we made some testing progress with Apache Gearpump. - We also had a presentation of Apache Samoa and its integration with Apache Apex in Apache BigData Europe 2016 - We also published a scientific paper using Apache Samoa and one of its machine learning techniques (Vertical Hoeffding Tree) (to be presented in IEEE BigData Conference in December 2016) How has the project developed since the last report? - We have performed a new release with several bug fixes and new features (0.4.0) - We are looking into new ML techniques for development.

A big need here beyond activity is to grow the community. There is a one individual who made several contributions last spring; I sent an email to the mailing list asking if it made sense to invite him to become a committer.

How has the project developed since the last report? After the decision taken by the community to drop support for S4, we removed the support for S4. We fixed automatic build issues, we simplified input from HDFS, and we worked on adding support for Apache Gearpump. Two talks were given to advertise Apache SAMOA, one at ApacheCon NA Big Data by Nicolas Kourtellis, and another one at the "J on the beach" conference by Albert Bifet.

How has the project developed since the last report? The community has decided to drop support for S4, which is now inactive. There is also some continued interest by Apache Apex about a possible integration. Internally, we have been working on strengthening our main classifier (VHT). There has also been work on improving the connection with Avro and Kafka. The adapted for Flink has been updated to the latest stable version (0.10).

Mailing list activity (September-October-November 2015):
* @dev: 120 messages
Jira issues backlog (September-October-November 2015):
* Created: 8
* Resolved: 6
Our main goal is to grow the community, which is still pretty small. We
are doing a large amount of dissemination work in conferences and events
to promote SAMOA. For example, we had two talks at technical conferences:
1) A talk at the Apache Conference BigData, in Budapest, Hungary, during
the week of September 28-30, 2015.
2) A talk at the Flink Forward, a conference for the Apache Flink DSPE, in
Berlin, Germany, October 12-13, 2015
We have had contributions from outside the PPMC. In particular, we have
had contributions for:
1) integrating Apache Avro input with Apache Samoa,
2) a proposal for integrating Apache APEX as a new DSPE,
3) continued the collaboration with the Apache Flink community.
How has the project developed since the last report?
Main developments:
* Performed development and testing of the VHT module.
* Fixed various bugs and improved ensemble and bagging methods.
* Worked on the integration of new data sources like Apache Avro.
* Improved the website to include more material for new contributors.
