Description

Following are the items which need be added or changed.

I think this page can be broken into two segments. First can be following:

<snip>
Introduction to Random Forests

Random Forests are an ensemble machine learning technique originally proposed by Leo Breiman (UCB) which uses classification and regression trees as underlying classification mechanism. Trademark to Random Forest is maintained by Leo Breiman and Adele Cutler.

Official website for Random Forests: http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~breiman/RandomForests/cc_home.htm
Original paper published: http://oz.berkeley.edu/~breiman/randomforest2001.pdf

Second section can following:

<snip>
Classifying with random forests with Mahout
</snip>

This section can be what it is right now on the website.
