<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse;color:rgb(34,34,34)"><div>Hello,</div><div> </div><div>I am Mudit Raj Gupta, fourth year student of M.S. (Hons.) Chemistry and B.E. (Hons.) Electronics and Instrumentation at BITS-Pilani (<a href="http://www.bits-pilani.ac.in/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">http://www.bits-pilani.ac.in/</a>). I am interested in <strong>Machine Learning and Computaional Intelligence</strong>. I have an interest in implementing various existing algorithms and developing modified/new algorithms related to machine learning and computational intelligence.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I successfully completed my <strong>Google Summer of Code - 2011</strong> for the <strong>Center for the study of Complex systems - University of Michigan</strong>. I implemented various <strong>algorithms (ant colony, random walk etc.)</strong> related to computational intelligence in Repast S (<strong>Coded in Groovy, Java</strong>) and wrote <strong>extensive documentations and tutorial</strong> for the related models with <strong>literature reviews</strong> on the topics. My <strong>contributions to Repast S was a part of the latest release of the software</strong>. The detailed documentation and code can be found here:<a href="http://code.google.com/p/cscs-repast-demos/wiki/Mudit" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/cscs-repast-demos/wiki/Mudit</a> I have also worked on various projects related to implementation of Machine Learning and Bio-Inspired Evolutionary Algorithms.You can check the code and some documentation on the same on <a href="http://code.google.com" target="_blank">code.google.com</a> my user profile is : <a href="http://code.google.com/u/110675325175605367090/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/u/110675325175605367090/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I am interested in applying for the project - <strong>"Learning to Rank</strong><span>". I have read the pointers on the ideas page and some literature about it. I was thinking, based on my literature review, that something on the lines on Multi-layer Perceptron network with Ant Colony Optimization or an Improved random Forest could be a good option. I selected the same because of my experience on the topic. Although any further details/pointers to the projects would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to request you to please let me know about any specific detail related to the project that is required in the proposal (apart from the ones mentioned on the page)</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div><div><span>Thank you for your time. Hope to hear from you soon.</span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>Best Regards, </span></div><div><span></span> </div><div><span>Mudit Raj Gupta </span></div>
