Lance Norskog edited comment on MAHOUT-845 at 11/13/11 9:45 PM: ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Is this feature useful in any other code outside Clustering? 2) Can it be a static method? Vector has 14+ implementations, and all of them have to make sure they do nothing to screw this up. Some of them cannot support this effectively, and other would need to keep a cache as they are populated. was (Author: lancenorskog): 1) Is this feature useful in any other code outside Clustering? 2) Can it be a static method somewhere rather than a method that has to be supported by the 14 currently known implementations of Vector? > Make cluster top terms code more reusable > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MAHOUT-845 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-845 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Clustering > Affects Versions: 0.5 > Reporter: Frank Scholten > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.6 > > Attachments: MAHOUT-845.patch, MAHOUT-845.patch, MAHOUT-845.patch > > > When working with Mahout text clustering I find that I keep writing code > similar to the contents of > public static String getTopFeatures(Cluster cluster, String[] dictionary, int > numTerms) > in ClusterDumper in order to determine cluster labels. > I think it would be useful if (parts of) this code are added to the cluster > or vector API so that you could do something like > Cluster cluster = ... // get the cluster from seq file iterable > String clusterLabel = cluster.getTopTerms(1, dictionary); // Do something > with the label > I think this would make it easier to export and post-process clustering > results, like indexing or storing them elsewhere. > Thoughts? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
