Hello , I am Manolis Gemeliaris , an undergraduate student at the Informatics Engineering Dpt. at the Technological Educational Institue of Crete.
I am really interested in contributing to mlpack and starting with GSoC 2017. I am always excited to study new ml techniques and applications and keep learning. I have only some experience in C++ , wouldn't call me a professional C++ programmer. But I'm willing to dive in and also read literature about any topic related to ML algorithms. Regarding ML in general I've implemented K-means and Apriori algorithms in Java , for the course I had in Machine Learning and Data Mining. One of the projects that caught my interest is "Alternatives to neighborhood-bases collaborative filtering" and I would like to participate with it in GSoC. As for the "recommendation systems" , I had a course "Knowledge Systems" , where I developed a Knowledge System for reccomending travel destinations according to the user's "needs" in SWI-Prolog. I would like your suggestions on how to get started and how to later write a good proposal for the application. Thanks in advance.
