Ask HN: How-to Implement Machine Learning?

Mahout looks like a really interesting project which has a bunch of Java machine learning algorithm implementations build on top of Hadoop.

http://lucene.apache.org/mahout/

You can glean some good idea from there. Hadoop has a bunch of python libraries if you want to go that route and write it yourself.

" In class we use MATLAB, but I'm slightly hesitant because I want to create some cool web applications."

It shouldn't really mater, just write a Thrift Service and you can call MATLAB from whatever your favorite language is.

I'll look into those suggestions. I always thought for some reason that MATLAB was kind of a black box calculator, where you pump in some commands and magically numbers appear. It's a good computational resource, especially for engineers, but I never learned how to implement it for anything.
