[mlpack] An Introduction

[Amitrajit Sarkar]

Hi,

I am Amitrajit Sarkar, a CS undergrad from Jadavpur University, India. I
have been working on machine learning for over a year now. I even have my
own neural networks library <https://github.com/aaiijmrtt/NET>, which I
wrote from scratch while trying to understand existing theories. I am very
eager to contribute to mlpack for GSoC 2016, as almost all the projects
excite me equally.

I am especially interested in:

Neuroevolution Algorithms,
<https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas#neuroevolution-algorithms>
Essential Deep Learning Modules,
<https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas#essential-deep-learning-modules>
We Need To Go Deeper - Google LeNet.
<https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas#we-need-to-go-deeper---googlenet>

I have implemented basic neuroevolution algorithms here
<https://github.com/aaiijmrtt/LEARNING>, and several deep learning modules
here <https://github.com/aaiijmrtt/NET>. I am certain that I can take up
the tasks. However, others are already working on the warmup tasks listed
alongside the projects. Are there any other tasks that I could try? I have
a lot of experience with research work, and am a skilled coder.

I am attaching my CV for reference. You may find more about my interests on
my blog <http://aaiijmrtt.github.io/>.

Cheers,
Amitrajit.
