Complimentary Naive Bayes does exist in Mahout (invoked with -c option when running BayesDriver).
The code for ThetaSummer job does exist and the code being still commented out (been that way since Mahout 0.7) could be either due to oversight or due to not having tested Theta Normalization thoroughly. There's a jira already open for this, see MAHOUT-1369. Robin Anil, could u explain if this code can be uncommented or if its still not functional? For whomever that would like to work on this, it would be great to add code comments (presently missing from this code) and also refer the original paper (see below). For reference, Mahout Naive Bayes (and complementary Naive Bayes) classifiers impl is based on the Rennie paper on this subject - http://people.csail.mit.edu/jrennie/papers/icml03-nb.pdf On Thursday, February 20, 2014 11:40 PM, Andrew Musselman <andrew.mussel...@gmail.com> wrote: It's an option when you run the examples as I recall.
