Dear Kushal,

Great to hear from you. It's always good to have new contributors.

Please read carefully this section:
<http://wiki.octave.org/GSoC_Project_Ideas#Steps_Toward_a_Successful_Application>
to find out what is expected from GSoC applicants.

It's good that you already have some experience working with open source
organizations.
Based on your programming language skills and past experience, these
projects would seem to be a good fit for you:
<http://wiki.octave.org/GSoC_Project_Ideas#Finish_the_Agora_website>
<http://wiki.octave.org/GSoC_Project_Ideas#Improvements_to_N-dimensional_image_processing>

You also mentioned an interest in a project involved with machine learning;
it brings to mind the optimization package, which has many missing
functions, although it's not listed in the GSoC page:
<http://wiki.octave.org/Optimization_package>

It's recommended you try one of the very short projects available at:
<http://wiki.octave.org/Short_projects>

Please don't hesitate to ask for help here or on IRC: 
<http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=octave>

Best regards,
-Felipe.
