<div dir="ltr"><h1><font><span style="font-weight:normal">Hi! Here is my report for the last two
weeks.</span></font></h1><h1><fontsize="4">Weeks 3 and 4 - 2014/06/15</font></h1><p>During my third week, I haven't had
timeto work on GSoC a lot, because of my exams and my relocation (that's why I didn't deem necessary to post a report
lastSunday). But last week has been much more productive, as I am now working full time!<p>I have developped an
aggregatethat computes the sum of pairwise dissimilarities in a cluster, for a given medoid. Thanks to Hai and Atri, I
havealso developped the main SQL function that actually computes the k-medoids. This function is still under debugging,
soI have not committed it yet.<p>According to my planning, I am not on time: I should have finished working on
k-medoidson Friday. When I made this timeline, I largely underestimated the time needed to get started in this project,
andoverestimated the time I thought I could spend on GSoC during my exams. But things will now go much faster!<p>As for
ourweekly phone call, I have lots of difficulties understanding what is said, partly because of me not being used to
hearingenglish, but mostly because of low quality sound. Last time, I hardly understood half of what's been said; which
isquite unfortunate, given that I'm supposed to take advices during this phone call. So I'd like to suggest an
alternative:an IRC channel, for example. And for those who don't have an IRC client ready: <a class=""
href="http://webchat.freenode.net/">http://webchat.freenode.net/</a>. For example, the channel #gsoc-madlib would
surelybe appropriate :) Also, I've had a change in my timetable, which makes Tuesday inconvenient for this phone call.
Isit possible to change the day? I'm available at this hour on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Of course, if this
changeannoys too much people, I'll deal with Tuesday :)<p>Finally, for the coming week, I'll finish debugging
k-medoids,write all the secondary functions (e.g. random inital medoids), and write the doc.<p><br
