[mlpack] Implementing support vector machines in mlpack

[Dhawal Arora]

Hi,

I am a third year undergraduate doing b.tech computer science in India.I
have done a few introductory courses in machine learning. Been going
through the mailing list and have compiled mlpack successfully and worked
on a few algorithms as per the tutorials. Now i would like to contribute to
mlpack and also want to get involved with mlpack for gsoc 2015.

Was going through the issue #396.Have read about manifold learning
algorithms and want to start working on this issue. If someone could give
any feedback on this.

Also regarding implementations, mlpack is not supporting SVM as of now. Is
it appropriate to work on this for gsoc 2015? Is it too big as a project or
we can start working on some basic implementations of linear and gaussian
kernel, later we will cover some more areas. I have a few more ideas on
this.

Just wanted to know that is mlpack having any tentative list of ideas as of
now for gsoc 2015?

Best regards,
