Whether this counts as "machine learning" depends on your perspective, but my 
group uses clojure for research in genetic programming and related forms of 
evolutionary computation. See, e.g., https://github.com/lspector/Clojush/

Some of the students in my lab also work in more mainstream forms of machine 
learning, using Clojure, and we would certainly be interested in checking out 
and possibly using any other ML tools in Clojure.

FWIW I come from a Lisp/AI background and have switched to Clojure in the last 
couple of years... and I think it's a pretty ideal environment for the kind of 
AI research that I do...
