Hello, I am Siddharth, a Computer science student from IIT Guwahati. After doing a bit of research over the project ideas, I have found the idea of further developing boost.ublas library interesting and so I have written the competency code. Here is the link to the code: https://github.com/sid6641/boost.uBLAS-Gsoc.git I have done a basic course on Linear algebra and Discrete Mathematics, so such a project suits my needs. I need a little help for proceeding further. 1. how is the error handling done in boost library. I am using assert for error handeling (but it does not sem the right way to me), the gaussian elimination doesn't work on singular matrices. So, I would like to set the errno and display apt message to the user when a singular matrix is the input. 2. Is there any predefined format for testing codes in boost library. I have done manual testing. Sorry, I am not familiar with most of the code in boost library. Any further helpful resources are welcome. p.s. I have started writing the proposal for the project and I'll soon draft it for review. Thanks, Siddharth
Hi Siddharth, How come your mailing-list post and code are nearly identical to that of Dhruv Kohli? Dhruv originally wrote us this message: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-ublas-gsoc-15-td4672932.html which has the exact same questions, nearly word for word, that you just asked! And then, your code: https://github.com/sid6641/boost.uBLAS-Gsoc/blob/master/gaussian_elimination... https://github.com/sid6641/boost.uBLAS-Gsoc/blob/master/test/test_gaussian_e... is identical in every meaningful way to Dhruv's code: https://github.com/chiggum/boost.ublas/blob/master/gaussian_elimination.hpp https://github.com/chiggum/boost.ublas/blob/master/test/test_gaussian_elimin... You even have the same spelling mistakes! Sure, a few variable names are different, but do you really think we are that easily fooled? I mean, Dhruv posted his code only about 1 week ago... it's not hard to connect the two dots together. Clearly, there is something fishy going on here. I would recommend that this should disqualify you from applying to the GSoC program. Plagiarism, i.e., passing other people's work as your own, is not acceptable, anywhere. I don't know how you figured you could get away with something as blatant as this, it's brazen and shameful. Mikael. -- Sven Mikael Persson, M.Sc.(Tech.)

The code looks very similar to that of Dhruv. Only difference seems to be
in the naming of identifiers, Dhruv uses underscores and Siddharth uses
camel case, that's it.

Hi Mikael, thanks for pointing out that. It's indeed very bizarre. I will investigate and act accordingly. Good spot ! David

Hi David,
I am really sorry for causing plagiarism in the boost organisation. please
don't disqualify me from applying to the GSoC 15.
I have been following an organisation from a long time now and i have made
the proposal for a project of that organisation. I just wanted to try my
luck with Boost.
I have not been able to do a lot of study of boost libraries, and the
deadline was approaching. I took Dhruv's code to understand the usage of
boost.ublas, and so much of the code was very similar to his.
And for the problems, I found a way of data input using matlab, but I was
not able to understand the procedure(I have never used matlab before), so,
I did not change that.
I have always used assert statements in my code, so I did not get what is
really wrong in using them, so if the matrix is singualar, the program
stops(as the assert says).
So, the problems remained the same.
Please consider my apology, I have removed my code from github.
I assure this wont happen with any organisation again.
thanks,
Siddharth

It appears the code disappeared from the potential candidate github page. So I consider this problem solved and this candidate will therefore not be considered for GSOC'15 Thanks Mikael...

sir,
I unconditionally apologize for my act

Indeed thanks Mikael. David can you tag this applicant on Melange with a private note so I can remove the application please? Thanks, Niall --- Boost C++ Libraries Google Summer of Code 2015 admin https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2015

Can't find him on Melange. I think he didn't put anything in the end. Do you have a link on his proposal in Melange ?
No, the reason I asked was I couldn't see him. Ok, no bother so. Niall -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/
Hello, I am also a student from IIT Guwahati and I have reported this case of plagiarism to our institute. I believe that the system over here will do the needful. I thought it is important to let the community know about the same. Thanks, Amarnath
