Hey Marcus,

Ok, I will look at ensmallen. I will also pay attention to new issues of
mlpack and try to fix them.

[mlpack] Flower Pollination Algorithm in mlpack

2019-01-08 Thread Artem Fedoskin
Dear Marcus and other mlpack contributors,

My last seminar paper was Flower Pollination Algorithm for Global
Optimization <https://arxiv.org/abs/1312.5673>, which describes an
interesting evolutionary algorithm that performs better than PSO and GA (as
stated by the paper). The algorithm is not hard to implement and I am
curious whether it would be worth to have this algorithm in mlpack?

Currently I'm exploring mlpack's codebase and I think it would be an
interesting task for me to implement such an algorithm as a part of
preparation for GSoC 2019.

What do you think?

[mlpack] GSoC 2019

2018-11-27 Thread Artem Fedoskin
Dear mlpack developers,

My name is Artem Fedoskin, I'm studying Data Analytics as a Master Student
at University of Hildesheim (Germany). I became interested in mlpack last
year but couldn't take part in GSoC 2018.
Could somebody please tell me - is mlpack going to take part in GSoC this
year? I successfully participated in GSoC 2016 in KDE and I'm really
interested in working on Deep Reinforcement Learning. Is this topic
still available? I have seen it in the list of ideas for GSoC 2018 and it
fits to the area of my research interests.

Hello Marcus,

Thank you for your reply!

That sounds interesting, can you tell us more about the project you worked
> on?


There is a planetarium program called KStars that is a part of KDE
Education package. This program allows you see the map of the night sky,
explore different space objects, control your telescope and a lot of other
amateur astronomy-related stuff. My task was to make an Android version
called KStars Lite that would share the same codebase (though I migrated
the whole graphics part to the new graphical backend, the data part is
still the same). You can check my work on this page (nickname: polaris)
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2016/projects/5053062041305088/
and try it yourself on your Android device
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kde.kstars.lite.
I was working with Qt framework that is based on C++ so I have some C++
background.

That sounds very interesting! I will definitely look at the papers and read
the ones I like.

We are trying to add new entrance issues over the next days,


That would be very nice, thank you very much.

Regards, Artem

[mlpack] Participation in GSoC 2018

2018-02-04 Thread Artem Fedoskin
Dear developers of mlpack,

My name is Artem Fedoskin. I have already written to this mailing list but
I think it would be good to introduce myself. I study a Master's Degree in
Data Analytics at University of Hildesheim (Germany). I have already
participated in GSoC 2016 in KDE with the project that involved C++ and Qt
framework (KStars Lite).

Indeed I'm very interested in Machine Learning and I was very happy to find
your library. Though now I primarily use Python for Data Science purposes,
I would be very happy to use my C++ knowledge for Machine Learning.

I'm particularly interested in following projects:
1. Essential Deep Learning Modules
2. Alternatives to neighborhood-based collaborative filtering
3. Reinforcement Learning

Is it possible that more than one student will work on Deep Learning
Modules? We could implement different algorithms.

Apart from Deep Learning I'm very interested in collaborative filtering.
Our lectures have already covered some of the main concepts and I'm very
interested in that area.

I have compiled mlpack and tried several examples. I'm currently looking at
what I could do on GitHub but I would be very grateful if you could point
me to some issue related to the projects I'm interested in.

[mlpack] Association rule learning with mlpack

2018-01-26 Thread Artem Fedoskin
Dear ML Pack developers,

My name is Artem Fedoskin. I study Data Analytics at university as a master
student and recently we had a lecture about Frequent Itemset Problem -
namely Apriori and Eclat algorithms. Brief search showed me that these
algorithms are not implemented in mlpack. Would it be useful if I implement
them? I'm pretty interested in this area and for me it would be a good dive
into the codebase of mlpack.

Regards, Artem
