Comment (by speet3):

 I would think you are relatively safe linking to the mlpack.org api,
 provided you can properly resolve the documentation url for the method of
 interest.  I would think that shouldn't be too hard, especially if the
 link is generated somehow, rather than a hard-coded string.  Since the
 source is distributed with documentation, all you need to do as a fallback
 for something catastrophic (like changing the website url) would be to add
 a tag at the end like " or consult the documentation for XXX provided with
 your distribution of mlpack."  That also covers the case of having an
 outdated version of mlpack, but if you're looking for citation info, you
 should either have the latest version of mlpack or know which citation
 information you are looking for anyway.
