Hi,

I am Prabhdeep Singh and I would like to introduce myself to the
developer's community of mlpack. I am an undergraduate student at Birla
Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India. I am extremely
proficient with using C, C++ and the UNIX environment. Also I have finished
some Machine Learning courses and am very interested in contributing to its
application. I hope for the opportunity to contribute to the development of
mlpack through GSOC.

I have already built mlpack and set up the development environment and
tried some examples to get familiar with using the libraries. I was
browsing the mlpack GSoC 2015 ideas page <
https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas> and I was
interested in these ideas based on dual-tree algorithms :

1. Implement tree types
<https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas#implement-tree-types>
2. Improvement of tree traversers
<https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas#improvement-of-tree-traversers>

I would love to learn more about dual-tree algorithms, their
implementation, and studying how different implementations as mentioned in
[1] above, or how tinkering with existing implementation [2], would improve
mlpack's performance.

It would be great if you could mention some resources from where I could
study the time-space analysis, and implementation of dual-tree algorithms.
Also I would love to work on any existing bugs and start contributing to
mlpack.

Thank You.
