<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I am a senior year student in computer science and engineering from India. I have been working on machine learning problems for past two years and have come across methods such as SVD and Weighted Nearest neighbors for collaborative filtering techniques. Once I have also used regression to interpolate the values for collaborative filtering.</div><div><br></div><div>I am willing to contribute to this project as I want to implement the algorithms myself and also explore more advanced techniques such as Field aware Factorization Machines (FFM). I will be building mlpack in my system shortly. Please let me know if there is any preference of literature and if I am required to do some bug fixing before being able to contribute.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Nilabhra Roy Chowdhury</div></div>
