--------------------------------------------
This is a pretty important issue and I think it'd be awesome to implement,
quite keen on it myself. Was any code written for this? Any progress made?
> 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
> Labels: gsoc2013, mentor
> Fix For: Backlog
>
>
> 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.
