<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Hello,</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I went through the project list of mlpack for gsoc 2016 and really liked the "Implement Tree types". I had a few questions(listed below) regarding the proposal submission and would be glad to get them answered.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><ol><li style="margin-left:15px">I have previously implemented some of the listed trees(vantage point tree,k-d tree, etc) for academic purposes but haven't put any of them online as it could have conflicted with our plagiarism policy. Is it a good idea to submit a piece of that code or the complete code as a part of the proposal? And if yes, by what means? Do I add a link to that code after putting it up on github or do I directly write the code in the proposal or is there any other way that you'd suggest?</li><li style="margin-left:15px">The description asks us to choose any three trees for implementation and submit a proposal around it. Will it be better if I suggest that I can do more than three trees since I do not see an issue in doing so(I may be wrong since I am comparing with the trouble It took to write the code for our academics.So please clarify if I am missing some thing). Should I add more trees than that is required in the proposal?</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Is there a chance to change the trees we are going to implement after acceptance of proposal(With permission of mentor). Like for example in the proposal I submit, I have written that I'll complete trees x,y and z but later due to some reason I wish to do x,y and a. Is it okay to do so with the mentors permission?</li></ol><div>I'd be grateful if you could quickly answer my queries.</div></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Thanking you,</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Regards,</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">M.Krishna kanth,</div><br><br><br><img width="0" height="0" class="mailtrack-img" src="https://mailtrack.io/trace/mail/6dc11d80b7b936bf33e347b823e0f18ab1a25f99531765.png"><img src="http://t.sidekickopen04.com/e1t/o/5/f18dQhb0S7ks8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9gXrN7sKj6v5dfb6W63Bmpn7dSsjTW1q7mlK2zlZNzW7g9JFK1k1H6H0?si=5455062382149632&pi=bb35f7b6-71b0-4d8d-aaab-ff9cb40666ed" style="display:none!important" height="1" width="1"></div>
