<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I am a final year Computer Science and Engineering student. I am interested in contributing to the project <b>Neuroevolution algorithms</b> as part of GSoC 2016. Some of the courses completed which are relevant to this project are: Data Structures and Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Soft Computing and Artificial Neural Networks.</div><div><br></div><div>In order to get better understanding about the project and mlpack, the following steps were taken:</div><div><ul><li>Compiled and tested mlpack on OS X</li><li>Compiled and tested nes emulator communication code: during this I ended up crashing the emulator hosted on <a href="http://mario.urgs.org">mario.urgs.org</a> 4561, <a href="https://github.com/zoq/nes/issues/1">link to issue</a>. Which was promptly fixed by Marcus Edel, big shout out to him.</li></ul><div>Currently I am studying the reading material, starting with the CNE algorithm.</div></div><div><br></div><div>For scope of GSoC project I propose to start with the implementation of the CNE algorithm at first and then move to a second (name would be specified soon) if time permits.</div><div><br></div><div>I have little trouble setting up an exact timeline for the project. I would love to hear your insight about the approach and timeline and if you think what I propose is realistic.</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Regards,<br>Nakul Gulati</div><div><a href="https://nakulgulati.com" target="_blank">Website</a> || <a href="http://in.linkedin.com/in/nakulgulati" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> || <a href="https://github.com/nakulgulati/" target="_blank">GitHub</a></div></div></div></div></div>
