Hi Agnes,

Nice to have you here!
What do you mean with parallel programming exactly? There is probably
some multithreading stuff in kdelibs.
As for machine learning: There might be some for example in Simon
Listens. Or you could talk to the KDEGames team and see if there is
something in that direction for you.


Cheers
Lydia
