[mlpack] GSoC 2016 aspirant for Alternatives to neighborhood-based collaborative filtering

[Nilabhra Roy Chowdhury]

Hello,

I am a senior year student in computer science and engineering from India.
I have been working on machine learning problems for past two years and
have come across methods such as SVD and Weighted Nearest neighbors for
collaborative filtering techniques. Once I have also used regression to
interpolate the values for collaborative filtering.

I am willing to contribute to this project as I want to implement the
algorithms myself and also explore more advanced techniques such as Field
aware Factorization Machines (FFM). I will be building mlpack in my system
shortly. Please let me know if there is any preference of literature and if
I am required to do some bug fixing before being able to contribute.

Regards,
Nilabhra Roy Chowdhury
