[mlpack] GSoC 2018

[Marcus Edel]

Hello Mohan,

welcome and thanks for getting in touch.

ideally, we will implement a framework that covers a variety of extensions, e.g.
by using the policy based design pattern. However, I don't think the project
should cover everything at this point. If we think that right now something
doesn't make sense, we will drop it and get to it in the future.

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

Thanks,
Marcus

Are we trying to set up a framework for easy implementation of VAEs and its extensions, and demonstrate it by implementing VAEs and some of its extensions or applications? Or are we looking into just VAE implementation.
