Sure, we are studying machine learning using Mahout. We have started a weekly hackers dojo to learn how to implement Hadoop based machine learning programs using Mahout. Once the group get some experience using Mahout, we are going to focus on projects to add functionality to Mahout. If you are in Austin, please come.
