Share your experience using Mahout in the real-world?

[Joseph Turian <tu...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm maybe giving a talk on Mahout, and I wanted to present some
case-studies from other people using Mahout in real-world, production
scenarios.
Would you be interested in sharing concrete stories about using Mahout
in industry, etc?
You can share the information anonymously, or receive credit.

Please send me a brief email description, and I'll get back to you if
I want more information.

Thanks!

Joseph did you see some threads on this topic on
user@mahout.apache.org recently? I recall people summarized what they
know about users in the field.

The bad news is most of the usage I (we) seem to know about aren't
cleared to be talked about publicly. It seems like 2/3 of the time the
work is done by a third party for a company, and the third party is
fine to talk about it and all that, but isn't bothered to request
permission from their client to clear it. So for no really good reason
it's "secret".

You can figure some of the usage by looking at this list, to an extent.

Grant turned up a statistic recently which he posted on this list
which suggests 14% of Hadoop users say they're using Mahout, but it's
hard to really interpret that.
