[mlpack] GSoc 2018 Project Ideas

[Marcus Edel]

Hello Saurav,

thanks for getting in touch.

There is an open discussion on the mailing list:

http://knife.lugatgt.org/pipermail/mlpack/2018-January/003438.html

make sure to look at the answer as well.

Sounds good, I'm open to discuss further ideas. Either here on the mailing list
or on IRC.

Getting familiar with the codebase especially with the optimization framework is
a good starting point. https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.06581 could be helpful too. If
you like you could implement an nonexisting optimization method, but don't feel
obligated.

I hope anything I said was helpful, let me know if I should clarify anything.

Thanks,
Marcus
