[mlpack] Greetings : GSOC 19 participation

[Rohan Raj]

Hey Ryan,

So pleased to hear from you. I would start working on my previous PRs soon
enough. I will definitely love to solve the issues as I have been a
contributor for almost one year.

I really love the idea of having Mlpack as a backend for Keras. I think we
can actually use the python bindings of Mlpack for this purpose. However, I
agree that its too much of work for being projected as a GSOC project. I
will definitely consider the possibilities of planning how to target the
idea.

Thanks for helping me out. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Thank you,
