As I mentioned before, although we encourage students to work on their own ideas, it's usually harder or at least poses a bit more work as the students have to convince the project and the mentor to take the idea. Also, have you done any research to make sure the algorithm is not yet available in Mahout ? I was doing a quick search on the internet, and found some slides [1] which mention that Mahout might already have an implementation of the algorithm (slide 19 and then slide 38). Anyway, this is something the Mahout dev community needs to answer to you... You might want to have a backup plan (e.g. another possible project), in case you can not find a mentor for this or the feature is already available in Mahout.
