Hi Devendra,

mlpack is open source and everyone is welcome to contribute. :)

I think the best way to get started is to download mlpack and compile it
from source, then use it for some simple machine learning tasks.  The
tutorials might prove helpful:

Once you've got a basic feel for mlpack programs and source, you can
take a look at the list of open tickets and you might find something
interesting:

Alternately, if you wanted to contribute your own implementation of a
machine learning method, you could do that.

Also, there is the mlpack IRC channel (#mlpack on freenode), which could
be a useful resource for real-time help.  The logs are here:

Thanks,

Ryan
