My name is Bang, and I am a PhD student in University of Alberta. I am highly interested in making contribution to mlpack community through this year's GSoC. One of the ideas that highly fascinates me is "Neuroevolution algorithms" listed in the IDEAS page. I have great passion for taking and finishing one of the projects and is absolutely willing to learn corresponding professional or programming knowledges.</div><div><br></div><div>I have programming experience in C, C++, Python, Java, Matlab, etc. Also, I have research experience related to machine learning.
