Distributed Machine Learning with Apache Mahout

While Mahout has only been around for a few years, it has established itself as a frontrunner in the field of machine learning technologies. Mahout has currently been adopted by: Foursquare, which uses Mahout with Apache Hadoop and Apache Hiveto power its recommendation engine; Twitter, which creates user interest models using Mahout; and Yahoo!, which uses Mahout in their anti-spam analytic platform.
