[mlpack] Interested in writing documentation for Mlpack's ann module

[Marcus Edel]

Hello Abhinav,

sounds great to me. The UCI repository is probably a good start:
https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets.html Also sharing a doc so that we can
work together on it is a good idea. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Marcus

Once we settle on the dataset I'll share a doc with the information about model, dataset and the example like you mentioned. And I think representing dataset with few neat images can be taken care of while choosing the dataset.
