Going through the mailing list archive is definitely a good starting point, also
the weekly updates from Kris and Shangtong
(http://www.mlpack.org/gsocblog/index.html) could be interesting too.

The models listed for the Essential Deep Learning Modules idea are just
suggestions, if you like to work on an interesting network model over the summer
please feel free to start a discussion.

A good starting point, in general, is to get familiar with the codebase, if you
have any question please don't hesitate to ask. About the submission that's up
to you, but note Google hasn't announced the accepted organizations yet and
there is plenty of time to prepare the proposal and get feedback.

I hope this is helpful, let us know if we should clarify anything.

Thanks,
Marcus
