I can only confirm what Sean said, I have also seen companies use Mahout not willing to talk about it publicly.
However I became aware of an interesting usecase via twitter recently, the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (http://instituut.beeldengeluid.nl/index.aspx?ChapterID=8532) is going to use Mahout to enrich its archives with recommendations. I was promised more details at the beginning of next year. --sebastian Am 01.10.2010 15:37, schrieb Sean Owen: > Yes I know (directly) of 5 companies using Mahout for recommenders, and only > 1 allows it to be mentioned -- Mippin.
