Hi,

I am having twitter data in a single txt file as:

I need to generate vectors for KMeans clustering from this txt file using java.

I need help to select the features.

Lines from Mahout in Action:

The process of selecting the features of an object and mapping them to numbers is
known as feature selection. The process of encoding features as a vector is vectorization.


Thanks
