new user commented on MAHOUT-328: --------------------------------- hi, I am a student of computer science. I have done courses on cloud computing( covering map-reduce) and data mining techniques. So, I have good knowledge of both these fields and can work on the above topic in a fine manner. So, I would like to work on clustering on map-reduce through the GSOC 2010. I therefore, request you to tell me how to contact the mentor or other concerned people,so that I can communicate with them on this issue further. Please reply soon. > Implement a cool clustering algorithm on map/reduce > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAHOUT-328 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-328 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Clustering > Reporter: Robin Anil > > A student with a good proposal > - should be free to work for Mahout in the summer and should be thrilled to > work in this area :) > - should be able to program in Java and be comfortable with datastructures > and algorithms > - must be clear about the clustering algorithm, how it works, its strengths, > its weaknesses and possible tweaks. > - must have a plan on making it a map/reduce implementation > - should have a demo over standard datasets by the end of summer of code > - must have clear deadlines and pace it evenly across the span of 3 months. > - may have a background in these area.
