Discussions on algorithms used in Apache Mahout , and Quantum Computing

As a group, we would like to understand real-life problems where we can contribute coming from the theoretical side. We will divide the time between Mahout and Quantum Computing depending on the interest level.

With that goal in mind, we will discuss the following paper for Mahout, http://www.cs.stanford.edu/people/ang//papers/nips06-mapreducemulticore.pdf

The following link has a core dump of the project which will also be an input to the discussion, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/Algorithms
