[mlpack] GSoc Project idea: adaboost implementation

[Marcus Edel]

Hello Ankesh,

Thanks for your interest in the project.

If you have already gone through the mlpack tutorials and are familiar with mlpack, then you might look at some mails form the mailinglist. There has been some talk about the AdaBoost project:

Before you consider applying to work on mlpack for GSoC, please have a look at the application template:

Let me know if I can clarify anything further or answer any more questions.

Thanks,

Marcus
