I am very exicted to announce that my project Replacing Boost Spirits has been accepted and this marks the start of an awesome summer. First of all thank you mlpack for choosing my proposal. Thank you Omar Shrit for providing insightful comments and suggestions on my draft proposal. My mentor will be Omar Shrit for this project. I will be working on replacing the boost spirits by implemnting a csv parser to increase performace and reduce binary footprint. We will be adapting Armadillo’s csv parser for mlpack to be exact. Let’s have fun coding!!!
