17:36 < shubhs> Hello everyone!I am very much interested in contributing to mlpack. I wanted to know what level of machine learning knowledge is expected and what resources would you'll suggest for getting started with ml exclusively for contributing to mlpack?

17:36 < shubhs> Thanking You in Advance !

17:38 < rcurtin> shubhs: hi there, I think that maybe these pages will be helpful for you:

17:39 < rcurtin> http://www.mlpack.org/involved.html and http://www.mlpack.org/gsoc.html (in case you are interested in GSoC)

17:39 < shubhs> Thank you rcurtin!

17:45 < rcurtin> sure, happy to help :)

23:06 < cult-> i would advocate a better package implementation for R. The current package is involving a snapshot of mlpack 1.x. it would be nice to use the system installed instead.

23:24 < rcurtin> cult-: agree

23:25 < rcurtin> would love to get automatic bindings working for R but haven't had a chance yet

23:57 < cult-> i wish i would have some time to do it
