Hi Manolis, Thanks for getting in touch. If you are looking for how to get started, these two pages may be helpful: http://www.mlpack.org/gsoc.html http://www.mlpack.org/involved.html In addition, you can take a look at the list archives for previous posts about this project: http://knife.lugatgt.org/pipermail/mlpack/ Here is some example posts I found with a quick search: http://knife.lugatgt.org/pipermail/mlpack/2016-March/002591.html http://knife.lugatgt.org/pipermail/mlpack/2016-March/002578.html Let me know if I can clarify anything.
