Hi Marcus,

I know you must be very busy. I hope you do not mind my perseverance. I
just wanted to know if you had the chance to take a look at my previous
email regarding GSoC proposal that I shared with you last week.  I would be
very interested to know more about your opinion/review which will help me
to draft the right solution for the discussed problem statement.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your positive response. I am working on the proposal now, and
I will focus on the recommendations made by you. I will send you the
proposal for review in 2-3 days. I am hoping to work with you under your

2019-03-19 Thread Naman Gupta
Hi Marcus,

First of all, thank you for your quick response. In my previous email, I
mentioned all the algorithms I have implemented in my research work. They
all perform well as feature selection methods (filter and wrapper both)
when compared to the traditional Grid search and Random Search algorithms.
As per your suggestion, I would like to point out that out of them, *Grey
wolf algorithm*, *Crow Search* and *Whale Optimization algorithm* perform
significantly well on a number of datasets. I have tested their performance
on a number of datasets as follows:
1. Parkinson's Dataset
 a) Audio dataset
 b) Image dataset
 c) Text dataset
2. Thyroid dataset
3. Medical images
 a) CT scan images
 b) Microscopic images
 c) MRI scans
4. Protein structure dataset
5. White Blood Cells images dataset

*All these datasets have high dimensionality. Some of them have both small
instance set + high dimensionality which is a great challenge in machine
learning and has not been addressed effectively.

According to a comprehensive survey by my lab and the aforementioned
implementations, these 3 algorithms are most suitable for feature selection
methods. In the last few years, bio-inspired optimization algorithms are
recognized in machine learning to address the optimal solutions for complex
problems in science and engineering. One of such problem: "High
dimensionality problem" which in turn requires high computational time and
affects the classification accuracy due to noisy features, redundant
etc. Feature
selection reduces the dimensionality of the data by eliminating features
which are noisy, redundant, and irrelevant for a classification problem. It
is most often a challenge for the researchers due to its computational
complexity.
So, I would like to model and implement these 3 algorithms as feature
selection methods (filter based and wrapper-based both) in mlpack this
year. The users will be able to modify the algorithm and will be able to
define their own fitness functions and many more features.

Please let me know what you think.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

[mlpack] GSoc 2019 - mlpack : evolutionary algortihm project proposal idea discussion

2019-03-18 Thread Naman Gupta
Hello Everyone.

I am Naman Gupta, a computer science undergraduate student at MAIT, GGSIPU,
Delhi, India. I have been working on bio-inspired evolutionary algorithms
for the past 2 years and I have developed and implemented various optimized
versions of different bio-inspired algorithms in various fields including
Ad hoc networks, Medical Image Processing, and NLP. Some of my work has
been published in SCI-indexed journals (Q1 ranking).

I have been working on bio-inspired algorithms namely, Crow search
algorithm, Grey wolf optimizer, Cuttlefish algorithm, Whale Optimization
algorithm, Ant lion optimizer, etc. and their usability in various domains.
These algorithms are inspired by the social behavior of animals in nature
and provide far more superior results when compared to the state of the
algorithms (Evolutionary and Genetic algorithms). Bio-inspired algorithms
are gaining popularity day by day because of their capability of finding
solutions to NP-hard problems and are being applied to a myriad of
optimization engineering problems like Thermal design, Structural
optimization, Satellite layout design etc. I have the statistics of over
ten years representing the growing number of applications of these
algorithms. I have developed and modeled these algorithms as feature
selection algorithms (filter based and wrapper based) which finds the most
optimal feature subset from a large feature dataset. It resolves the “curse
of dimensionality” problem more efficiently and with less computational
time and higher classification accuracy. I have already implemented the
aforementioned algorithms in python during my research work.

I am very much interested in contributing to mlpack in GSoC'19. Now, I want
to implement these algorithms in mlpack as feature selection mathods. These
algorithms are population-based, Meta-heuristic optimization techniques and
are simple, flexible, and avoids local optima. They search the global
search space in less computation time as compared to the traditional
approaches Grid search and Random Search. They will enhance the
classification accuracy and will reduce the computational time.

It would be a great help if the mentors could provide me some insight into
this proposal idea. Can I propose this idea? Can you please suggest me
something to make it better. I will add more details, more functionality,
and features in the final proposal, this is just an abstract. I look
forward to hearing from you.
