Not sure about the community, but I personally would be very interested in having a machine learning library or environment in Clojure.
I'm playing with classification and clustering of academic papers, and use clojure for the whole research cycle - crawling and parsing the data from the web, text processing (through weka or mallet), classification (through svm-clj), and, of course, setting up the experiments, and doing input-output between other tools. I was also thinking it would be nice to have Incanter extended with machine learning algorithms. So far it looks like its focus has been statistics rather then machine learning.
