[mlpack] Student looking to contribute to mlpack

[Rohit Shinde]

Hello everyone,

I am a final year student of Computer Science from India. I study at the
"Vishwakarma Institute of Technology" in Pune. I am interested in various
areas under Machine Learning and Aritificial Intelligence. I have a
theoretical background in both these subjects and a limited experience of
some projects in these fields. I also tried to build a Chess program using
AI techniques. It is in progress right now and I dedicate time to it as and
when possible. I programmed a small application using backpropagation to
classify one of the data sets on the UCI dataset repository. It wasn't very
succesful but it gave me some exposure to neural networks. I have also been
exposed to Data Mining, so I do know of other algorithms like KNN, SVM and
K-Medoids and others.

I have programmed using Python, Java and C++. I am very proficient in all
these three languages. I have done all my mini as well as major projects in
these languages and so I have a lot of programming experience in these
languages.

My interest in mlpack stems from my interest in machine learning and
artificial intelligence related things. I would certainly like to learn the
advanced techniques used in machine learning . I will build mlpack and get
mlpack to run in a day or two.

I have also seen the GSoC ideas page on GitHub. Is it okay if I jump right
in and choose a project of my interest?

How can I contribute to this library?

Thank you,
Rohit Shinde
