Re: Mahout-1539-computation of gaussian kernel between 2 arrays of shapes
to be absolutely frank, if i could divorce easily from Colt, I would've divorced the entire scala code from Mahout. Unfortunately currently it is not very realistic case for me. More hopefully, we could patch Colt for major problems and add new backs there. As for pure scala backend, it already exists and it is called Breeze project (something MLib uses internally), supported by David Hall (among others). It also includes a lot more common non-distributed math than just algebra. By my estimate, it is one of the most well-round and comprehensive math libraries in existence today. It has, however, had significant difficulties dealing with sparse/dense operation optimizations in the past, as well as modelling, not sure as of this very moment. Colt at some point was marginally better in typing sparse in-memory idioms.

Re: Mahout-1539-computation of gaussian kernel between 2 arrays of shapes
Scala function literals (or any function literal) derive from a particular set of traits. It may be java classes are able to implement these traits (nobody that i know attempted to do that), and then maybe they will become supported as scala function types. But i think even that is a big if, since scala compiler tinkers with bytecode a lot, and compatibility at bytecode level is not guaranteed between scala major releases. Bottom line, even if it is possible to write scala functions in java, it is definitely not publicly documented feature. On the other hand, it is possible to use "function-like" Colt classes such as DoubleDoubleFunction just like a plain old reference-type object from either scala or Java, which is exactly how it happens in the example given in the question originally asked.

Re: Mahout-1539-computation of gaussian kernel between 2 arrays of shapes
From a big picture perspective do we intend to keep colt around or write scala implementations for functions like the aggregate, if so then I can add scala code to do the aggregation and call it from the DSL for the norm.

As far as scala bindings are concerned, they are but a DSL wrapper to Colt (unlike distributed algebra which is much more). Aggregate is Colt's thing.

Yes. That code is computing Frobenius norm. I can't answer the context question about Scala calling Java, however.

RE: Mahout-1539-computation of gaussian kernel between 2 arrays of shapes
Shannon/Dmitry,Quick question, I'm wanting to calculate the scala equivalent of the frobenius norm per this API spec in python (http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.linalg.norm.html), I dug into the mahout-math-scala project and found the following API to calculate the norm: def norm = sqrt(m.aggregate(Functions.PLUS, Functions.SQUARE)) I believe the above is also calculating the frobenius norm, however I am curious why we are calling a Java API from scala, the type of m above is a java interface called Matrix, I'm guessing the implementation of aggregate is happening in the math-math-scala somewhere, is that assumption correct?

Re: Mahout-1539-computation of gaussian kernel between 2 arrays of shapes
Saikat, Spark has the cartesian() method that will align all pairs of points; that's the nontrivial part of determining an RBF kernel. After that it's a simple matter of performing the equation that's given on the scikit-learn doc page. However, like you said it'll also have to be implemented using the Mahout DSL. I can envision that users would like to compute pairwise metrics for a lot more than just RBF kernels (pairwise Euclidean distance, etc), so my guess would be a DSL implementation of cartesian() is what you're looking for. You can build the other methods on top of that. Correct me if I'm wrong.
