version 0.4 even as yet more
- change is to be expected before the next release. Highlights include:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>Model refactoring and CLI changes to improve integration and
consistency</li>
- <li>New ClusterEvaluator and CDbwClusterEvaluator offer new ways to
evaluate clustering effectiveness</li>
- <li>New Spectral Clustering and MinHash Clustering (still
experimental)</li>
- <li>New VectorModelClassifier allows any set of clusters to be used for
classification</li>
- <li>Map/Reduce job to compute the pairwise similarities of the rows of a
matrix using a customizable similarity
- measure
- </li>
- <li>Map/Reduce job to compute the item-item-similarities for item-based
collaborative filtering</li>
- <li>RecommenderJob has been evolved to a fully distributed item-based
recommender</li>
- <li>Distributed Lanczos SVD implementation</li>
- <li>More support for distributed operations on very large matrices</li>
- <li>Easier access to Mahout operations via the command line</li>
- <li>New HMM based sequence classification from GSoC (currently as
sequential version only and still experimental)

- <li>Sequential logistic regression training framework</li>
- <li>New SGD classifier</li>
- <li>Experimental new type of NB classifier, and feature reduction options
for existing one</li>
- <li>New vector encoding framework for high speed vectorization without a
pre-built dictionary</li>
- <li>Additional elements of supervised model evaluation framework</li>
- <li>Promoted several pieces of old Colt framework to tested status (QR
decomposition, in particular)</li>
- <li>Can now save random forests and use it to classify new data</li>
- <li>Many, many small fixes, improvements, refactorings and cleanup</li>
