Hi, I would like to contribute to Mahout. Who would be the point person on the following topics: linear algebra routines, regression (real inputs, real outputs), subset selection for regression (lasso or ridge regression), and spectral graph methods?
I am in the process of implementing a least squares linear regression algorithm, LSQR. In my quick review of Mahout, and I make no claims of digging into the code at this point, there appears to be extensive work in the area of classifiers, discrete outputs, but not regression, real output. I have an interest in building up a library of regression techniques (real inputs, real outputs). I am also interested in the implementation of the numerical linear algebra routines, as these algorithms are at the crux of most regression problems. ------------- Sincerely, David G.
