Mahout in Clojure

[klathrop]

I'm working through "Mahout in Action", but using Clojure instead of
Java,, and I'm having trouble using an interface in the Mahout
library. The example is as follows:

DataModel model = new FileDataModel(new File("intro.csv"));
RecommenderEvaluator evaluator =
new AverageAbsoluteDifferenceRecommenderEvaluator();
RecommenderBuilder builder = new RecommenderBuilder() {
@Override
public Recommender buildRecommender(DataModel model)
throws TasteException {
UserSimilarity similarity = new
PearsonCorrelationSimilarity(model);
UserNeighborhood neighborhood =
new NearestNUserNeighborhood(2, similarity, model);
return
new GenericUserBasedRecommender(model, neighborhood,
similarity);
}
}:
double score = evaluator.evaluate( builder, null, model, 0.7, 1.0);
System.out.println(score);

Its the RecommenderBuilder that's giving me trouble. I've tried using
proxy with no luck. Any suggestions?

Can you post the code that fails?

Wow! What hoops one has to jump through to fit things in an "OO" API,
eh?

Anyway, if you're using 1.2:

(reify RecommenderBuilder
(buildRecommender [this model]
(let [similarity (PearsonCorrelationSimilarity. model)
neighborhood (NearestNUserNeighborhood. 2 similarity
model)]
(GenericUserBasedRecommender. model neighborhood similarity))))

Or if the "model" used everywhere is the same, you can skip some
stuff:

(let [model (FileDataModel. (File. "intro.csv"))
similarity (PearsonCorrelationSimilarity. model)
neighborhood (NearestNUserNeighborhood 2 similarity model)
recommender (GenericUserBasedRecommender model neighborhood
similarity)
builder (reify RecommenderBuilder (buildRecommender [_ _]
recommender))
evaluator (AverageAbsoluteDifferenceRecommenderEvaluator.)]
(.evaluate evaluator nil model 0.7 1.0))

Hoops indeed! Thank you, the solution works great.
