Hello - Welcome to the list :)
You might want to check out http://www.ai-class.com/ and http://www.ml-class.org. They're online versions of Stanfrod classes on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. They both start soon too! I'm sure that they'll give you a good starting point for work on Mahout. I'm planning on taking both myself! -Matthew Runo On Oct 5, 2011, at 8:07 AM, Apurv Verma wrote: Hii all, I am interested in becoming a contributor to Mahout. But unfortunately I have not had any course in Machine Learning still. I am having a course in Artificial Intelligence this semester. I am also *not* conversant with hadoop and mapreduce though I have heard of it and have long wanted to learn it. Can someone please guide me (mentor informally) so that I may get a sense and direction and I am able to develop the skills set required to contribute to this project within the next 6 months. -- thanks and regards, Apurv Verma B.
