Mandar Chandorkar commented on SPARK-4638:
------------------------------------------

Hello all, I have been working on an implementation of Kernels/Kernel Matrices 
as a part of my Masters thesis at KU Leuven.
I have implemented RBF & Polynomial Kernels for SVMs. I have drawn up a 
hierarchy of classes/interfaces which can be extended to implement other 
Kernels as well. I have made a new module within the mllib code. This is my 
first attempt at contributing to spark (and open source) so my code might be 
messy. To summarize I have worked on the following.

1) Class hierarchy for SVM Kernels, with unit tests.
2) Entropy based subset selection for low rank approximation of Large Kernel 
Matrices.
3) Kernels for density estimation, with 'plug in' based optimum bandwidth 
selection.

I have the code on a local branch, I can push it to my fork and do a pull 
request, but before that is there anything else I should do (apart from 
checking the code style and all that)? I can also make a short design document 
describing the class hierarchies and how they are connected.

Thank you
