[mlpack] GSoC: Fast k-centers algorithm & implementation

[Wenlin Hu]

Dear all,

I am a PhD candidate of Stony Brook University, USA. My major is Applied
Mathematics. I am very excited about the opportunity to contribute to
MLPACK community from now on.

I have more than five-year research experience on mathematical modeling and
numerical simulation, concentrated on interface and computational fluid
dynamic related problems. I am proficient in C/C++, Matlab, algorithms,
data structures, and parallel computing.

I have strong interest in the field of Machine Learning and Big Data. I am
doing online course on Machine Learning by Andrew NG on Stanford Online and
reading classical textbooks on statistical learning now.

Among all the exciting ideas and projects, the project that caught my eyes
is:

   - Fast k-venters algorithm and implementation

I have done the course on Computational Geometry last year. I am
comfortable with CG algorithms, data structures, and research-oriented
project. I will be fully engaged in completing this project during summer
2014 if selected.

My resume or any other information can be furnished upon request. I am
looking forward to your advice on how should I proceed for GSoC 2014.
Thanks.


Sincerely,
Wenlin Hu
