String Processing Utilities - Community Bonding Period

Probably I am late in posting about Community Bonding Period, but still :). This summer I will be working on implementing different String Processing Utilities ranging from basic funtion to clean string to complex one such as word2vec. My mentor would be Mikhail Lozhnikov.

So as of during community bonding period, I tried finishing up my old PRs, Dictionary encoding PR1814 and Scaling Dataset functionalites PR1876 and also studied about CLI and python bindings. Working on those PR taught me some new things about c++, Concepts I really never came across, functuators and specialization. Both the PR are at verge of completion.

Over the course of this summer I would keep on writing weekly updates, about my project. Till then :).

Note

The following para isn't about this project, so its totally your wish to go through that.

Also this summer along with acceptance from GSOC, I also got accepted into **ACM Summer School on Geometric Algorithms and their Applications** at National Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhubaneswar organised by ACM. I am very happy to be one among 30 students all over india. The camp is scheduled to be from 3 - 15 june. I am sure, it wouldn't hinder my progress since, I would be working for mlpack during my evenings and nights. Check out the topics , Being fascinated about mathematics, I am sure to learn new things this summer and also who knows, come up with something for mlpack.
