Regarding where to start, the best way to get started is to download and compile mlpack, and go through the tutorials. That will help give you an idea of how the code is laid out and the code standards that are used:

http://www.mlpack.org/tutorial.html

If you have already gone through the mlpack tutorials and are familiar with mlpack, then you might consult the example tree type found in
src/mlpack/core/tree/example_tree.hpp (this is the API which all mlpack trees must implement).

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks,

Marcus
