Grant Ingersoll commented on MAHOUT-74:
---------------------------------------
Couple of questions:
1. What's the urlCount for on SoftCluster?
2. Shouldn't SoftCluster.m be non-final (and configurable.)
3. It seems like there should be an opportunity for more inheritance/overlap,
etc. w/ the K-Means clustering, but I'd have to think about it a bit more.
The wikipedia article implies that m == 1 is "similar" to KMeans, is it the
case that we could make KMeans just be a special case of fuzzy k means through
the appropriate choosing of parameters?
Otherwise, the tests pass and it looks to be in pretty good shape. Would be
cool to have an example added, but not required for this patch to go in.
