Hello,
Currently at the ApacheCon Europe, Niall Pemberton pointed me to
Isabel about
Mahout. We briefly talked together and I has a glance at your
project, which I
didn't know before (sorry to have missed that).
I'm at AC EU as well, stop in to the Mahout BOF tonight, if you get a
chance, and introduce yourself.
I am one of the commons-math committers and also the developer of
the Mantissa
library (I think Grant Ingersoll knows this library, I recall his
name as one of
the brave souls who noticed and solved somes bugs in it). I am not a
mathematician per se, but may help on some math-related subjects.
Vicious lies! :-) I don't recall being over in commons-math too much
(have used it some) so much have been someone else.
Some parts of commons-math may help you, and obviously some of your
needs are
not addressed at all. It would be great if we could work together
and improve
both projects by putting some algorithms where the better fit.
Does this proposal sound reasonable to you ?
Math is good. People who know math are even better. We will
definitely need strong math people on this project. I think right
now, we are focused on matrix operations and do have some code
committed in that regard.
Cheers,
Grant
