Mike,

it would be great if you could apply the clustering not to the raw
datasets (which contain a lot of meaningless information), but to the
orthogonalized dataset that Erin & Theo provided (where the
skill/opportunity columns are split up into many features.  Erin/Theo
should have the latest version of these datasets.  If these challenge
datasets are too big for Weka, I suggest sampling some records -- I
believe Thomas has some code for this.

We *will* need to cluster the skills at some point to make use of the
orthogonalized datasets.

Looking forward to your results.

Andy
