The Apache Lucene project is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Mahout 0.1.
Apache Mahout is a subproject of Apache Lucene with the goal of
delivering scalable
machine learning algorithm implementations under the Apache license.
The first public

collaborative filtering and evolutionary programming.
Highlights include:
1. Taste Collaborative Filtering
2. Several distributed clustering implementations: k-Means, Fuzzy k-
Means, Dirchlet, Mean-Shift and Canopy
3. Distributed Naive Bayes and Complementary Naive Bayes
classification implementations
4. Distributed fitness function implementation for the Watchmaker
evolutionary programming library
5. Most implementations are built on top of Apache Hadoop (http://hadoop.apache.org
) for scalability
The release contents have been pushed out to the main Apache release
