Maybe it's time to bring mlpack on android :) Also, I heard really good things about the coursera and udacity courses. > Can you please give me some task or patch which I can focus on, and which will > make most good use of my time (and requires less time)?

The first is to look through the list of open issues and see if there is any issue you think you can solve. The issues are generally tagged with difficulty. Another approach is to find a bug in the mlpack code and solve it. And yet another approach is to contribute new functionality. We are trying to keep some issues open, but usually, they are taken up really fast. Also, it's not mandatory to make a contribution to be considered. I'm not sure on which project idea you like to work on, so I can't recommend any specific further steps if you can elaborate more? I hope this is helpful and best of luck with your exams.
