[mlpack] mlpack Contribution

[Ankit Aggarwal]

Hi Ryan

I was able to found the following thread talking about "Fast K-Centre
Algorithm"

"Yes, this project would be to design an algorithm, and then spend the
summer implementing it. Unfortunately, Google funds students for
implementation and not for research,"
I got to know through the links that dual-tree algorithm is implemented in
src/mlpack/methods. So I would be going through out the src package defines
above.

Can you please share what should be the timeline for this project?
