Hi Saumya, The deep learning modules and reinforcement learning projects have gotten a lot of attention this year. If you are looking to submit an application for either of these, I would suggest you start by looking at these two pages: http://www.mlpack.org/gsoc.html http://www.mlpack.org/involved.html and then for specific information on the two projects you mentioned interest in, you might consider searching the mailing list archives: http://knife.lugatgt.org/pipermail/mlpack/ Here is a post I found with links to many other posts: http://knife.lugatgt.org/pipermail/mlpack/2017-March/003120.html I hope this is helpful; let me know if I can clarify anything.
