Re: [HACKERS] GSoC project : K-medoids clustering in Madlib

I'm a bit confused as to why this is being proposed as a Postgres-related project. I don't even know what MADlib is, but I'm pretty darn sure that no part of Postgres uses it. KNNGist certainly doesn't. It's a reasonably well established extension for Postgres for statistical and machine

But it would be even better if MADLib would apply to GSoC as an independent organization. The deadline for organization applications is on March 29th, so if the MADLIb people are interested in that, they need to hurry and send the application right now. Agreed. Is there any way we could add

[HACKERS] GSoC project : K-medoids clustering in Madlib

2013-03-26 Thread viod
Hello! I'm an IT student, and I would like to apply for the 2013 GSoC. I've been looking at this mailing list for a while now, and I saw a suggestion for GSoC that particularly interested me: implementing the K-medoids clustering in Madlib, as it is supposed to be more efficient than the K-means

I suggested a couple of algorithms to be implemented in MADLib(apart from K Medoids). You could pick some(or all) of them, which would require 3 months to be completed. As for more information on index, you can refer http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/What's_new_in_PostgreSQL_9.1 along with the
