[mlpack] (no subject)

[Marcus Edel]

Hello Omkar,

welcome to the community, you are definitely on the right track; getting familiar
with the codebase is the first thing I recommend everyone doing. 

The example-zoo project is really an open-ended project, and our main goal is to
have a large pool of interesting examples that use mlpack methods in some way.
You are not restricted to use mlpack for everything, like if you use mlpack for pre
or post-processing of the data and another library for the rest that's fine. Another
example is to use mlpack e.g. for classification but another framework to load and
visualize the data.

An easy way to approach this project is to search for interesting Kaggle competitions
and see who they can be solved with existing mlpack methods.

I hope what I said was helpful; let me know if I should clarify anything further.

Thanks,
Marcus

I am profound in Python(Modules: NumPy, Matplotlib, Pandas, seaborn, mlpack and currently learning flask and Django, etc), C++, PHP, Mysql, Javascript. I have some experience in open source by participating in Hackertoberfest'20(a Month-long Open Source Event organized by Digital Ocean) and GSSoC(Girlscript Summer of Code). I want to openly contribute to the project example-zoo from mlpack. As per my understanding from the ideas page, I have started working on the Model and visualization of Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic), Pima Indians Diabetics, MNIST, and Boston House Price Datasets (trying to do maximum usage of mlpack library). Please can you help me out with your expectations from the student applying and am I on the right track and what more I need to do to be the best candidate for this project?
