Hey, I'm a beginner in ML. I was looking for some good first time issues which don't involve completing documention. I went through the list of issues on GitHub but would really appreciate if you or anyone could point to any specific issue for beginners. Thanks.
< rcurtin>
ferbncode: yeah, writing documentation is not the most exciting task :)
< rcurtin>
let me see if I can find something that might be good...
< rcurtin>
if your C++ is good, you might consider #756, but that is related to the problems of nearest neighbor search and range search, so maybe you might find that is not close enough to "typical" ML to suit your interest
< ferbncode>
I can give it a try. Thanks for such a good response :)
< rcurtin>
#514 might be interesting -- we could use arma::kmeans() inside of mlpack to accelerate the brute-force k-means implementation we have,
< rcurtin>
or investigate other ways to speed up the mlpack k-means implementation to make it comparable (or faster) than Armadillo's
< rcurtin>
I guess it's tough to say what the best issue might be, if I don't know exactly what your interests are, but I hope what I've written is helpful :)
< rcurtin>
another option is always to implement some new machine learning technique, or make improvements to an existing machine learning method that mlpack implements
< ferbncode>
Thanks. it is a great response and is very helpful. I will try them.:)
< rcurtin>
sure, let me know if I can clarify anything :)
< ferbncode>
sure:)

mlpack/mlpack#1363 (master - 1e9f0f3 : Ryan Curtin): The build passed.
< sumedhghaisas>
marcosirc: yeah that fine... I think I have some similar lines of code in 'termination policies' of AMF
< sumedhghaisas>
:)
< sumedhghaisas>
it also makes things simple while adding new policies...
< marcosirc>
sumedhghaisas: Ok! I will do it right now!
< sumedhghaisas>
the main thing is class reference though... Someone who is looking at that file might spend some time finding the class in question
< sumedhghaisas>
due to combining classes together... I know I am talking like a java developer but now I am coding in it everyday... :P
< marcosirc>
Haha Ok. I am always assuming everyone uses grep!
< sumedhghaisas>
Yeah... spend some time in the corporate world and you will realize the opposite :) I don't think anyone in my team even does git commit from terminal...
< sumedhghaisas>
So sometimes they end up commiting every new file of modified separately...
< sumedhghaisas>
then I have to spend some time squashing all those commits because IDE don't provide squash option :P
< sumedhghaisas>
Also finally my visa is going through... I am starting my M.Sc. in September :)
< sumedhghaisas>
In University of Edinburgh
< rcurtin>
congratulations! :)
< rcurtin>
I hear Edinburgh is beautiful, but I have only been to Glasgow
< rcurtin>
they say Glasgow is ugly, but I thought Glasgow is beautiful
< rcurtin>
so I guess Edinburgh must be extremely beautiful :)

haha.. yeah it is.. according to current ranking its 4th best city to live in the world
< sumedhghaisas>
super excited to go there...
< sumedhghaisas>
closing all the work here past 1 months ... still a lot of it remaining.
< marcosirc>
Nice to know that. Looks like a great plan for the next month!
< marcosirc>
Yeah, I agree it is a bit complicated to motivate Windows users to use git from the terminal.
< marcosirc>
I have been trying to do so, some months ago, for a company here... Finally they decided to use SourceTree...
< sumedhghaisas>
rcurtin: also I just looked at the mlpack coverage run... its been running for past 12 days ... my god...
< rcurtin>
hm, that seems a bit long :)
< sumedhghaisas>
seems like the tests are not able to find the data files
