Ted's main talk at Buzzwords was about how real-time aggregation and learning can work with Storm and MapR.  In addition, he described how this can be extended to real-time learning for A/B testing.  Source code for these experiments can be found at this link.

In lightning talks later in the day, Ted presented early results for mega-scale clustering to serve a k-nearest neighbor system, follow this link to see those results.  And then he talked about pig-vector which provides a way to use Mahout with Pig.  To get the early and difficult to build version of pig-vector go here.
