-----------------------------------
Summary: GSOC 2013: Reform and simplify the clustering APIs
Key: MAHOUT-1177
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1177
Project: Mahout
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Dan Filimon
Clustering is one of the most used features in Mahout and has many applications
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis#Applications].
We have of lots clustering algorithms. There's:
- basic k-means
- canopy clustering
- Dirichlet clustering
- Fuzzy k-means
- Spectral k-means
- Streaming k-means [coming soon]
We want to make them easier to use by updating the APIs and make sure they all
work in the same way have consistent inputs, outputs, diagnostics and
documentation.
This is a great way to gain an in-depth understanding of clustering algorithms,
familiarize yourself with Hadoop, Mahout clustering and good software
engineering principles.
