naywhayare: more go kart racing?
prakhar2511 has joined #mlpack
< naywhayare>
stephentu: not karting this weekend, we're driving a 1930 Model A around a rural north carolina town
< naywhayare>
we got it to fire up tonight, so hopefully tomorrow we can put a lot of miles on it
< naywhayare>
once we build up some confidence that we can keep it running reliably, we can road trip it again :)
< naywhayare>
also, I am glad that you like the Armadillo sparse support :)
< naywhayare>
it needs some more work to be complete, and then I think an eventual overhaul of all the armadillo code is necessary so that sparse matrices are fully interchangeable with dense ones
< naywhayare>
but that's a huge amount of work, and I don't have time for it, and I'm actually not sure that Conrad is interested in that either...

Do you think ensemble methods is a good candidate for GSoC?

decltypeme: can you elaborate a bit more?
< stephentu>
looking at the code we have an adaboost implementation
< stephentu>
are you thinking like random forests?
< decltypeme>
Yes, like random forests, multiple classifier systems vote and fusion techniques ... etc
< stephentu>
it seems reasonably scoped
< stephentu>
i think for gsoc its important to have a mentor in mind?
< decltypeme>
Not sure actually about who may mentor this; I want to participate as a student
< stephentu>
decltypeme: have you seen teh gsoc page btw?
< stephentu>
for mlpack
< stephentu>
so i'll be honest i know very little about ensemble methods other than like the cursory 1-2 lectures from an intro ML course
< stephentu>
maybe ryan is more knowledgable about this area
< decltypeme>
I saw it; There are also other interesting projects for me :)
< stephentu>
having said that, its more important to me that the students be excited
< stephentu>
and motivated
< stephentu>
ideally students woudl be motivated and excited about the same projects the mentors are :)
< decltypeme>
Good point :))
< stephentu>
but then again random forests are like the most commonly used thing
< stephentu>
in industry
< stephentu>
so it certainly woudlnt hurt
< stephentu>
i recommend you check out this library
