Hello Ryan, Marcus and fellow contributors of MLPACK, I am Rohan Raj (Github : mirraaj) <https://github.com/mirraaj>, undergraduate student from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati. I am writing this email to you to express my interests in becoming a part of *MLPACK* for the coming *Google Summer of Codes 2019.*
I sincerely congratulate Mlpack for being accepted as a mentor organization for the coming Google Summer of Codes 2019. I am interested in reinforcement learning project for the coming year. In particular, I plan to implement Rainbow and PPO for the coming coding season. My tentative schedule is present below, Week 1-6 : Implement different Rainbow DQN functions Week 6-10 : PPO Algorithm Week 11-12 Bug fixing and final submission. I believe it is really important to test any function/feature added to the mlpack codebase. I have been working on RL and Mlpack for quite a long time and I personally think it is difficult to reproduce result sometimes. It is also a time taking procedure to stabilize statistical test results on mlpack codebase. Hence I would like to go ahead with 2 algorithms so that I get proper time to test the algorithms on different environments. Please let me know your valuable inputs to this short proposal. I will definitely add the details of the project in my actual proposal. Thanks, Rohan Raj Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Assam , India Phone : +91 8723990557 ᐧ ᐧ
