Introducing myself

Hello everyone!
      I am Swanand Janardan Deodhar from India. I am one of the GSoC 2007 students selected through Ruby Central. I am focussing on building a ETL and Data mining framework in Ruby. I am hoping that all the Ruby gurus here will aid me in this.

Thanks and regards,
Swanand.

That is quite a tall order, IMHO. I would suggest having a look at Weka:

  http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/

I used it last quarter in my graduate Data Mining class. It is quite
powerful and, more importantly, was written collaboratively by active
researchers in the field. It also has a big following in the academic
world.

The best part is that I didn't have to put my programmer's hat on every
time I wanted to play around with a statistical algorithm in the
textbook because, usually, it was already implemented in Weka. :slight_smile:

Although Weka is written in Java, I think you could build a Ruby
interface atop it with JRuby. However, I am not familiar with the rules
of GSoC, so making a light abstraction layer above existing software
might not be allowed?

Link to a very nice article. I learnt about SVD and 'linalg'.

Thanks,

Hi!
     Thanks everyone for showing so much interest and also for giving some really useful links. As far as ActiveWarehouse is concerned i am already looking into it's ETL part.

Thanks and regards,
Swanand.
