Thanks for the confirmation Jeff.  How would one view cluster assignments right 
now given that the output is binary?

Hi Jerry,

DirichletClusters are not similar enough to ClusterBase to make that
workable, so you are correct that the utility won't dump them. Writing a
dump utility that can is a great idea, though it does tend to be rather
Model specific. Maybe Models should have some printable representation
a-la asFormatString().

Look at the code in

 
/MahoutTrunk/utils/src/test/java/org/apache/mahout/clustering/dirichlet/TestL1ModelClustering.java
 
/MahoutTrunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/mahout/clustering/dirichlet/DisplayOutputState.java

 for ideas on how you might be able to dump out your DirichletClusters
and their Models.

I've actually considered making ClusterBase into a Model and
generalizing DirichletCluster to be the root of all clusters. I think
the distance measures used by canopy and k-means could be cast as Model
pdfs but the whole idea is still only half-baked.
