Take a look at one of the other programs mlpack implements, and you can<br>
see the PARAM_STRING() and PARAM_DOUBLE() and other macros and also the<br>
PROGRAM_INFO() macro that are used:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/blob/master/src/mlpack/methods/hmm/hmm_train_main.cpp" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/blob/master/src/mlpack/methods/hmm/hmm_train_main.cpp</a><br>
<br>
Then there is the CLI class which is used for accessing parameters:<br>
<br>

<br>
Hopefully that clarifies things a little bit. Let me know if it<br>
doesn't.<br>

The application deadline is March 25, so you still have a week to<br>
prepare an application. If you have more time now that your exams are<br>
complete (hopefully they went well!), it's definitely possible to do<br>
enough research and reading and prepare a good application.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
