Please keep the same issue. That way the two of you can compare, extend, etc.
> Implement kmeans++ for initial cluster selection in kmeans
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAHOUT-153
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-153
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Clustering
> Affects Versions: 0.2
> Environment: OS Independent
> Reporter: Panagiotis Papadimitriou
> Fix For: 0.3
>
> Original Estimate: 336h
> Remaining Estimate: 336h
>
> The current implementation of k-means includes the following algorithms for
> initial cluster selection (seed selection): 1) random selection of k points,
> 2) use of canopy clusters.
> I plan to implement k-means++. The details of the algorithm are available
> here: http://www.stanford.edu/~darthur/kMeansPlusPlus.pdf.
> Design Outline: I will create an abstract class SeedGenerator and a subclass
> KMeansPlusPlusSeedGenerator. The existing class RandomSeedGenerator will
> become a subclass of SeedGenerator.
