Mahout, Apache's open source machine learning project, captures the core algorithms of recommendation systems, classification, and clustering in ready-to-use, scalable libraries. With Mahout, you can immediately apply to your own projects the machine learning techniques that drive Amazon, Netflix, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout this Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book covers machine learning using Apache Mahout. Based on experience with real-world applications, it introduces practical use cases and illustrates how Mahout can be applied to solve them. It places particular focus on issues of scalability and how to apply these techniques against large data sets using the Apache Hadoop framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is written for developers familiar with Java — no prior experience with Mahout is assumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOwners of a Manning pBook purchased anywhere in the world can download a free eBook from manning.com at any time.
