Like Ted said, its a bit late for a GSOC proposal, but I am excited at the possibility of improving the frequent pattern mining package.

Neal, I think that this might well be a useful contribution to Mahout, but, if I am not mistaken, I think that the deadline for student proposals for GSoC has just passed. That likely means that making this contribution an official GSoC project is not possible. I am sure that the Mahout community

Re: My ideas for GSoC 2010

Since Sean already answered IDEA-2, I'll reply to IDEA 1. Minhash (and Shingling in general) are very efficient clustering techniques that have traditionally been employed by Search engines for near-duplicate detection of web documents. They are known to be efficient and effective at web-scale.

Re: My ideas for GSoC 2010

Minhash clustering is important for duplicate detection. You can also do simhash clusteringwhich might be simpler to implement. I can imagine an implementation where the map generates the simhash and emits multiple copies keyed on

Re: My ideas for GSoC 2010

I think that's a fine project indeed. It sounds even a little ambitious for a GSoC project. Understanding, implementing, and parallelizing this approach is not trivial. If you want to propose it, sure, but scaling it back a little is probably OK too. As always it's best to propose a simple project
