How to contribute

Please send a clear set of patches to the project owner. We'll review them for inclusion. If you do it on a regular basis, apply for becoming a project member and you'll get svn access.

Here are a few things that would be worth working on:

• Port icsiboost to as many platforms as possible.
• Port test-time code to as many languages as possible (ex: ruby, javascript...).
• Make a nice library from c code.
• Implement scored text (sparse continuous features) -- this could make icsiboost an mlcomp competitor in the multilabel category.
• Rework the parallel code to handle one weak learner at a time instead of one column at a time.
• Port everything to C++ using standard classes instead of the current home-made library for hash tables and other things.
• Implement variants of Adaboost, such as RankBoost, BrownBoost, LPBoost...
