Hi all, Here is a summary of what I've been up to so far.
*Stan*: We introduced stan math into Shogun. Stan is an automatic differentiation library that will allow us to differentiate any given function you can think of without having to hard code the derivative. To see an example of this, check the example in the stan perceptron test. *Cookbook*: Working on finalising a cookbook for cross_validation in Shogun. *New Cost function class*: New cost function class that uses Stan math to automatically calculate the derivative for any cost function of any number of variables. Also, I created a new blog on Medium where I'll be posting most of GSoC related stuff there: https://medium.com/@eyfmharb Cheers! Elfarouk
