I know this point is a little off topic here, but in my opinion this is not a great way to ingest the material! Get some sleep and take it slow; the projects for mlpack tend to be quite complex and the necessary material needs to be understood in-depth, which (at least for me) couldn't be done in a single sleepless night. > As its a new one , no relevant issues exist as of now so I would like to > start by adding a Cross-Validation module to Linear Regression (will start > working on it now) , and once i get accustomed to ML-Packs coding style and > API designs i can add further modules for other training algorithms and > also optimize my approaches (through better pre-computation etc ). This isn't really what the project is about, unfortunately. Please carefully read the description. We want to create a generic cross-validation module that can work with any mlpack classifier. So the place to start is not to graft support onto the mlpack linear regression implementation but instead carefully consider the set of classifiers that mlpack implements and determine a way to create a generic cross-validation module that can support them all. The cross-validation module will probably need to use some amount of template metaprogramming so you probably want to spend some time familiarizing yourself with that also. I believe that I have written an email to the mailing list about this project (I haven't gone through the effort to find it right now); I'd suggest searching the mailing archives to find it. This could help clarify what the project is all about. Thanks, Ryan -- Ryan Curtin | "Lady, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store."
