Hi Kumar,

Can you explain more of what you mean when you say that you are
interested in Adaboost?  We have an Adaboost implementation, but I think
it would be useful if someone played with it and improved it.  Take a
look in src/mlpack/methods/adaboost/ and see if you find anything
interesting.

Probably a good place to start contributing is to look through the bugs
on the Github issues page listed as easy:

https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22D%3A+easy%22

Let me know if I can clarify anything.

Thanks,

Ryan
