Builds a Django news aggregator and implements clustering with k‑means with distance threshold (canopy‑style) using set‑based Jaccard distance; tests on ~500 articles from 8 sources produce about 120 clustered items and convergence in roughly 8–10 iterations (defaults to 50). Recommends scikit‑learn, MDP, libSVM and Prediction API, shows a Naive Bayes tweet sentiment model that labels examples correctly, and notes Amazon Mechanical Turk for human labeling when accuracy demands exceed automated methods.
