/**
* This package provides several clustering algorithm implementations. Clustering usually groups a set of
* objects into groups of similar items. The definition of similarity usually is up to you - for text documents,
* cosine-distance/-similarity is recommended. Mahout also features other types of distance measure like
* Euclidean distance.
*
* Input of each clustering algorithm is a set of vectors representing your items. For texts in general these are
* TFIDF or
* Bag of words representations of the documents.
*
* Output of each clustering algorithm is either a hard or soft assignment of items to clusters.
