Visualization Tool - Summary

Acknowledgement

A big thanks to Toshal, Brim, Rcurtin, Zoq and the whole mlpack community. This was my second GSoC with mlpack, and I am happy that once again I was successful in it. I gathered a lot of knowledge in these past 3 months. I will continue to be in touch with the mlpack community and seek to do more contributions to the project in the future.

Also, I think its time to order some mlpack stickers :)

Thanks :)
