Hello, everyone! For GSOC 2022, I mainly thought of proposing an ML Library for Processing, and just found out that the exact same idea was raised in 2020 ([Need guidance in developing an idea](https://discourse.processing.org/t/need-guidance-in-developing-an-idea/17995)). I wonder what happened to this idea and if it still can be a valid proposal now. Thank you.

Cool idea! The proposal you referenced wasn’t selected, but a good ML library is definitely of interest to the community. Here are some additional threads that might be helpful as you consider this project.

> Hello Together I’m happy to present you a project I’ve been working on for over a year now. With OpenCV for Processing we have a good base library for traditional image processing. However, these algorithms are more and more pushed into the background by machine learning. Therefore I started a year ago to develop a library that (mainly) uses the Deep Neural Network (DNN) module of OpenCV to bring machine learning, especially CNN into the Processing world. The library is not about training the…
