Glossary
Hey Mahouters,
Having been subscribed to this list for a couple of months now and in trying to get my head around the some of the big brain discussions that go down here I have started a new Glossary page on the wiki. That will hopefully shed some light on all of the acronyms that get used the email and to help newbies like myself with further reading etc.
As I see new terms I will try to add them (assuming I get the right ones !) but it would be useful if you could add references to papers or good explanations
Heres the link: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/Glossary
Cheers,
Dave

Greart Dave!
I am a newbie as well and definitelly need something like a glossary.
I will try to support you by putting more terms on the page to be
explained by the guys who have the knowledge :)

Thanks Ted,
Yea as Grant put, I often find going to wikipedia can confuse me more and sometimes there are acronyms in the statistic scope that mean different things

+1. I often find it takes a bit to get from the Wikipedia explanation to the context of machine learning and/or Mahout, so good to have links to background reading (incl. Wikipedia) as well as definitions relevant to our approaches/discussions.

Dave,
Great work. As you may have seen, I have gone in and specialized the
definitions to make note of the Mahout and machine learning context that
they are used in here.
Andrew,
These terms often do have wikipedia definitions and these should definitely
be linked from the glossary entries, but the usage of these terms in this
project is often somewhat specialized. That specialized should be called
out in our glossary and contrasted with the more general use in the world
at large.

David,
When i said wiki, I mean wikipedia. The terms, such as, "map reduce,
TFIDF", in the Glossary you posted are already available in wikipedia.
Maybe, for those terms, we just can put a URL ref in the Glossary. for other
particular terms (the names of the algorithms implemented with mapreduce
mode in Mahout ), we can explain them further.
Hope this tips are helpfully!

Hi,David,
It sounds like a good idea to have somewhere to introduce the useful
definiation mentioned in this maillist. However, the wiki maybe a better
space to find this infomation. Anyway, i am new guy here, nice to find
somebody else studing mahout at same time. Good luck!
