Is it possible to deploy a Mahout classifier online?

[Kelli Brown <ka...@yahoo.com>]

Hi folks,

I've been training a simple Naive Bayes classifier using Mahout version 0.5. It's working fine through the command line (Cygwin), but I'd really like to make a more interactive/user-friendly version. I'm hoping I can host the classifier on a simple website, where a visitor could submit some text to the classifier through a text box or form and receive a string of output in return. I've been searching for ways to do this through .NET (or otherwise), but I haven't found anything useful. The closest thing I've been able to find is this article (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/620717/Building-A-Recommendation-Engine-Machine-Learning), but it's designed for command line interaction with a Hadoop cluster, not for text through a simple website.

Does anyone know of a good way to host and interact with a Mahout classifier through a simple website? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Best,
K

Any particular reason why not writing your own webapp and
deploying/running it on something like linode?

Thanks
