How to dump/interpret CVB output

[keeyong han <ke...@hotmail.com>]

Hello there,

After some struggle, I managed to run cvb successfully. But I found that dumping the output isn't much easier either. I tried to dump some keywords per cluster by running the following command:

mahout vectordump -i [final_state_output_directory_used_in_cvb_run] -o [output_file_path] --dictionary [dictionary_file_generated_in_vectorization]  --dictionaryType sequencefile --vectorSize 5 --sortVectors true --printKey true 

When I opened the output file, it looked something like these:
0       {�����:22.247111682871502,����:18.373163071757336,���:98.99212990547156,��:381.7630898807104,�:477.31989896222046}
10      {�����:18.69052909454572,����:36.154751708278106,���:128.69867172165564,�:963.769624051711,U:8.647090616806189}

I guess some parameter was missing and/or wrong value was assigned? Please help me. 

BTW I am using Mahout 0.8 on Hadoop 1.0.3.
