Hi Aditya,

There are some resources that can help you get started:

http://www.mlpack.org/involved.html
http://www.mlpack.org/gsoc.html

In addition there are lots of messages on the mailing list archives that
you can look at about this project from the past couple years:

http://knife.lugatgt.org/pipermail/mlpack/

(You could search that archive with Google or I think gmane too)

Otherwise I would suggest getting familiar with the codebase as a good
first step.  Contributions are not required to be accepted so you should
not feel obligated to submit a PR.

Thanks,

Ryan
