Google summer of code & mahout-machine-learning

[Frédéric <fr...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am a french student, currently studying distributed systems in Finland.
I'm also a Lucene user and I find the subject about the Map/Reduce
enabled machine learning algorithm pretty interesting.

To be honest I don't know all the algorithms listed in the paper, but
I've ever implemented genetic algorithms and artificial neural
networks for both my academic and personal projects.
I have a good knowledge of Java and I have ever done a successful
Google summer of code last year.

Unfortunately, I have some exams to take this week and I'm sorry for
not having enough time to give you more details. But I will give you
more informations about my ideas and my skills related to this project
as soon as possible.

Cheers

Frédéric Rechtenstein

Sounds good.

Sounds interesting. What are you working on?

I think it is sufficient to either know at least one of them enough to work on 
a scalable, at best parallel version of it. Another option that I consider 
interesting is to look for some real world problem one would like to solve 
with machine learning and to work on the solution.

Looking forward to reading more about your ideas.

Isabel
