https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/clojure-cortex Usage

All libraries are released on clojars. Cortex is not 1.0 yet preliminary and you should expect quite a few things to change over time but it should allow you to train some initial classifiers or regressions. Note that the save format has not stabilized and although we do just save edn data in nippy format it may require some effort to bring versions of saved forward. Cortex Design
