Grant Ingersoll commented on MAHOUT-18:
---------------------------------------

How does  this relate to MAHOUT-8?  Seems like that is a similar thing, trying 
to define common I/O, or am I misinterpreting?

> Embrace interoperability with other softwares

> This is an open issue. It is related with all possible components existing or 
> to born in the future. 
> ML or DM models normally have two phases: training and scoring (or 
> predicting). If we agree "updating" is an independent one, we will have 3 
> phases. 
> There are many softwares about ML/DM outside. We want the users of Mahout be 
> able to import models got built from other software here, update them and/or 
> use them for scoring. To achieve this goal, we need to recognize the commonly 
> used formats. 
> Besides, users may choose Mahout because Mahout is speedy in learning. After 
> a model is ready, they may export the model trained, view it with some 
> visualization tool, or import it into other software or application for 
> scoring (or predicting). In this case, exporting into widely recognized 
> format is expected.
> Finally, I want to say that the importing and exporting will not influence 
> the ongoing projects, so developers of other components need not worry about 
> this.
