For this meeting, we'll be describing and demonstrating new capabilities of
1.10 including:



* New modules: single source shortest path, the first algorithm in graph
processing in MADlib.  Also new encoding categorical variables, K-nearest
neighbors.



* Improvements to existing modules:  add grouping support to elastic net
and PCA, add cross validation to elastic net, array input for K-means,
verbose output option for decision trees and random forest, limit itemset
size in association rules, various madpack installer improvements



Finally, we’ll spend a little time discussing the upcoming 1.11 release.
