GSoC Week 3

This week I was not able to concentrate on my GSoC project as I was away to present at the AIME 2023 conference in Portoroz, Slovenia. I initially assumed I would have time to work on GSoC but I was wrong. The conference was packed with sessions starting 8AM in the morning to 4PM followed by a dinner session at 8PM or a tour session of the local area.

I am traveling and reaching back to my place on Friday after which I will resume my GSoC progress. I aim to push my first PR next week.

During my time here at Portoroz I was able to attend and listen to some amazing presentations, eat some great seafood and enjoy the beauty of the place.

Here are some pictures,

Google Summer of Code 2023: AI Model Service Auto Selection by Modality - Final Report

Image
Introduction GSoC is one amazing program that lets students and professionals get into the world of open source, contribute code and also learn back from the program. I definitely learnt a lot by contributing to my mentoring organization LibreHealth through GSoC'23. I now understand the value of open source and will become a lifelong contributor wherever and whenever I can. LibreHealth is an umbrella organization where multiple health information technology projects collaborate. I was actively involved in contributing code to their LibreHealth Radiology application  through the project "AI Model Service Auto Selection by Modality". My contributions to the application were more involved into implementing AI models in the application and also building modules that do automatic model selection, example, when a Radiologist opens up a Mammography image the application automatically triggers the Mammography AI model to produce inferences on the image. Objectives The project des...

My First GSoC - LibreHealth Community Bonding Period

GSoC Acceptance I was amazed to know that I got accepted into Google Summer of Code 2023. This is my first time applying and getting into GSoC. I remember the time when I sat at the library for hours, working on the preliminary tasks, figuring out solutions, and writing an extensive proposal. Reiterating through the solution and proposal back and forth, I watched lots of YouTube videos and read blogs providing tips to draft a good proposal. All the efforts paid off when I received the email of acceptance. The Org & Project I drafted a proposal to the LibreHealth Organization. LibreHealth is collaborative community for free & open source software projects in Health IT, and is a member project of Software Freedom Conservancy. It is amazing to just think about how contributors from all over the world come together and build things that impact the world positively. This idea is what brought me into open source. Before jumping into the project details, here are a few things abo...

GSoC Week 2

Image
By the end of last week, I was able to meet my mentor, which helped me gain direction for the project. We discussed details and challenges regarding the implementation of the AI model selection based on image modality. Although Java is a new language to me, I wanted to learn and work my way through it for the project. This week, my task was to understand parts of the LibreHealth toolkit code and prepare a list of tasks at an atomic level. After that, I will need to update them to the GitLab issues list. Coming up with the task list To come up with the task list, during the meeting with my mentor, I received some guidance on where to start with code exploration and understanding. Initially, it was challenging for me to understand the code, so I started looking at Java tutorials on YouTube. I gained some understanding of how Java works. However, I knew this was not enough for me to completely understand the application, and it would take time, so I also started looking for patterns in th...
