Yexi Jiang commented on MAHOUT-1441:
------------------------------------

[~ssc], Currently I am working on other things. If this issue is not urgent, 
please assign it to me. 

[~smarthi], An advantage of spectral clustering is that it performs clustering 
on the correlation metric space (a.k.a. similarity graph). It performs good on 
the data points that cannot be well clustered by the clustering algorithms 
which directly work on the original metric space and cluster the data points in 
convex shape. I'm not sure whether the reuters dataset can reflect such 
advantage of spectral clustering. Or do we need to show a more representative 
dataset in the website example? Like the ones shown in the experiment section 
of this [paper |http://ai.stanford.edu/~ang/papers/nips01-spectral.pdf].
