Well, IMO big data tensor math is Mahout’s strongest point and GPUs on immediately on the roadmap. On May 21, 2016, at 7:30 AM, Steven NASa wrote: Hi Pat, Thank you for your reply, I fully understand that core algorithms and data are 2 different part of the system, this is why we have 2 major

Steven, thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the project! If you want to discuss how to build a recommender system, the user list is probably more appropriate, and we all hang out there too. If you'd like to contribute to the project dev's the right list. Let us know if you have any trouble ge

Sounds more like demand prediction to me. However your system should be able to interact with other non-C/C++ systems. There is something called Apache Thrift. Which brings me to the following - would it be a valuable feature to Mahout library to provide connectivity with other systems u
