Also eager to hear what you did at JdeRobot if you like to elaborate. > I was looking for some projects related to deep learning in GSoC 2017 and the > two ideas in mlpack caught my attention. The Reinforcement learning and Essential deep learning modules project has been discussed at length on the mailing list before: http://mlpack.org/pipermail/mlpack/2017-March/003095.html http://mlpack.org/pipermail/mlpack/2017-March/003098.html http://mlpack.org/pipermail/mlpack/2017-February/003087.html http://mlpack.org/pipermail/mlpack/2017-March/003107.html http://mlpack.org/pipermail/mlpack/2017-February/003092.html Note that there are many more posts on this in the mailing list archive to search for; those are only some places to get started. > Could you let me know about any warm up challenges or issues that need to be > patch in order to get started or before I start preparing my proposal. There are some issues open in the Github issue tracker, and any contributions of new techniques or efficiency improvements for existing implementations are always welcome. Besides, I think a good warmup task for the reinforcement learning project is to implement a simple agent that is able to solve simple tasks, that way you learn about reinforcement learning and at the same time dive into the codebase. The same applies for the Essential deep learning modules project idea if you have an interesting model in mind that is manageable to implement in a short time I think that would be a great first contribution. I hope this is helpful, let us know if you have any more questions.
