Greetings! Fellow GSOC alums, administrators and dear mentors, the next edition is right here. Details are given in the link below.
https://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-discuss/browse_thread/thread/d839c0b02ac15b3f Maybe we could identify key areas in Mahout which we need to develop apart from the ML implementations and list it down for students to see before they start trickling in. Some ideas: Benchmarking Framework with EC2 wrappers Commandline Console+Launcher like Hbase and hadoop Online Tool/Query UI for Algorithms in Mahout(like CF) Possible ideas(I have no idea what i am talking here but there are nice problems to solve) Improvements in Math? How to tackle management of datasets? Error Recovery if a job fails? Robin
