00:04:16 <Rucknium[m]> defeatoverseer: Let me gather my thoughts on this. In the meantime you can read this if you haven't already: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/pkg3d6/the_monero_project_should_actively_recruit/
00:05:26 <defeatoverseer[m> I gave that a read just before. The recruitment channel is not very lively unfortunately.
20:44:21 <ashok> hi
20:44:34 <ashok> new here, what are some interesting topics of ongoing research right now
20:45:15 <ashok> is this relevant? https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/94 (last edit in 2021)
20:47:57 <moneromooo> Fake out selection never gets out of style.
20:48:14 <moneromooo> Including binning and deterministic selection.
20:49:31 <ashok> is there prior work here? something i can see if I can expand upon
20:50:05 <moneromooo> Rucknium[m] is the one to talk to about this.
20:56:43 <Rucknium[m]> ashok: Welcome! Yes, that list is still relevant (last edit in Oct 2022 actually). Are you interested in something specific?
21:34:15 <ashok> thanks @moneromooo and @Rucknium[m] let me dig a little deeper into the list and see if anything sticks out to me
21:35:23 <ashok> my background one part FPGA acceleration / Verilog and another part AI/ML research, so idk if there's anything super relevant to me
21:35:35 <ashok> however maybe there's a project with crossover skillset
21:37:19 <moneromooo> IIRC isthmus was using ML to try and classify txes.
21:38:25 <ashok> is this still an ongoing topic
21:38:35 <ashok> would love to see any previous work there
21:42:06 <moneromooo> I have no links, just wait till they chime in. Might be a week, IIRC isthmus only reads backlog every so often.
21:49:14 <ashok> ok sounds good
21:49:28 <ashok> I'm assuming I can try coming with up my own project as well?
21:58:03 <moneromooo> Sure.
22:01:08 <ashok> cool, I'll come up with few ideas and run them through here (or at a research meeting, if those still happen)
22:02:54 <moneromooo> They do.
22:03:14 <Rucknium[m]> ashok: You're in luck since we had a conversation here about a month ago about ML: https://libera.monerologs.net/monero-research-lab/20230116#c189870
22:03:20 <moneromooo> Says "Meetings Wednesday @ 17:00 UTC" in the topic, I assume that's still up to date.
22:03:36 <Rucknium[m]> Many links to previous work there
22:04:04 <Rucknium[m]> Also the Open Research Questions GitHub issue has links to a few papers in the blue boxes
22:14:44 <ashok> great - really appreciate you
