[mlpack] Student looking to contribute to mlpack

[Marcus Edel]

Hello Rohit,

What you'll need to do is to add the include directory /usr/include/libxml2 to
the compiler's search path. From the command-line (using g++ or clang) this is
easily accomplishable with -I/usr/include/libxml2/, and then you can link with
-lxml2.

The command should look something like this:

g++ -I/usr/include/libxml2/ -lxml2  -lmlpack -larmadillo test.cpp

Hopefully this is helpful. Feel free to respond if you are still having issues.

If you're interested in doing any of the projects we've listed (or other
projects), we are happy to help either over the mailing list, github, irc, etc.

Thanks,
Marcus

I am interested in various areas under Machine Learning and Aritificial Intelligence. I have a theoretical background in both these subjects and a limited experience of some projects in these fields. I also tried to build a Chess program using AI techniques. It is in progress right now and I dedicate time to it as and when possible. I programmed a small application using backpropagation to classify one of the data sets on the UCI dataset repository. It wasn't very succesful but it gave me some exposure to neural networks. I have also been exposed to Data Mining, so I do know of other algorithms like KNN, SVM and K-Medoids and others.
