Ted,
It's very interesting that you put it this way, "a replication of this architecture". It's really compelling to pursue this. I'm working through one of the deep learning papers from the quoted link now to get an idea of what it would take to make it happen. For me right now though, it seems like a little much.

I mean, as a mathematician I find the mathematics being used in Mahout refreshing. Some absolutely beautiful applications. Real life math on the hoof. On the other hand, as a relative newcomer to Java, I'm still coming up to speed.

I'll focus for now on contributing to documentation, possibly some patches. See how the contribution process works, gain a little confidence there first. (I do have a background in neural networks.)

Ray.

Yeah.... we have had little pull on these techniques beyond the simplest
case of logistic regression.

Would you guys be willing to sign up for maintaining the code that might
result?

The thing that might move the needle would be a replication of this
architecture:

as Neural Networks yet again become more popular.

Can anyone in dev/commits shed some lights on this?

Hi,

I am interested using Neural Network type of tools to do classification
in
Mahout. I wonder if these methods are finished in Mahout 0.8. On Mahout
website, it still says open.

Thanks,
Ying
