You have to supply that number, however if you don't use it number in the similarity computation (only SIMILARITY_LOGLIKELIHOOD uses it) you can safely ignore it and pass in any number.

Hi Sebastian,
 From where can I get the numberOfColumns.
How can I calculate I have these many columns my matrix has as
SparseVectorsFromSequenceFiles generates vectors in binary format.

Hi Divya,

--similarityClassname should point to an implementation of
org.apache.mahout.math.hadoop.similarity.vector.DistributedVectorSimilarity,

you can use any value from
org.apache.mahout.math.hadoop.similarity.SimilarityType to use a
predefined similarity measure or you can point to an implementation of
your own

--numberOfColumns is the number of columns of the input matrix, which
would be the number of unique terms as I suppose your matrix is
documents x terms

Hi,

I have directory of documents from which I have generated Sequence file
using SequenceFilesFromDirectory and then converted it into vectors
SparseVectorsFromSequenceFiles

Now referring below link to  generate a list of most similar documents

How can I use RowSimilarityJob to generate list of similar documents  .



<ol>

   *<li>-Dmapred.input.dir=(path): Directory containing a {...@link
DistributedRowMatrix} as a

   * SequenceFile<IntWritable,VectorWritable></li>

   *<li>-Dmapred.output.dir=(path): output path where the computations
output
should go (a {...@link DistributedRowMatrix}

   * stored as a SequenceFile<IntWritable,VectorWritable>)</li>

   *<li>--numberOfColumns: the number of columns in the input matrix</li>

   *<li>--similarityClassname (classname): an implementation of {...@link
DistributedVectorSimilarity} used to compute the

   * similarity</li>

   *<li>--maxSimilaritiesPerRow (integer): cap the number of similar rows
per
row to this number (100)</li>

   *</ol>

   *



Which argument should I pass numberOfColumns and similarityClassname ?

Divya
