[mlpack] Interested in writing documentation for Mlpack's ann module

[Abhinav Gupta]

Hi Marcus,
  So I'll get started with the Internet Advertisements dataset and
implement FFN for it, followed by Convolututional Network for it and FFN
for Human Activity Recognition Using Smartphones dataset. I'm sharing a doc
with you where I'll get started with the implementation of the first task
(implementing FFN for Internet Advertisements dataset).

As I'm new to the process please let me know if you feel that I should
change my methodology at some points.

Thanks,
Abhinav
