On-line machine learning packages?

Hi Jay,

I see this thread is a bit (ok, quite) old at this point, but I see
you never really got an answer to your question that was satisfactory.
I figured you might be interested to know that Dirk has started to
wrap vowpal wabbit[1,2] into an R package, RVowpalWabbit[3,4]

The package itself is still a rather bare-bones, but perhaps it can be
useful to you in its current state, or perhaps the "raw" vowpal
wabbit.

You might also consider the shogun toolbox[5]. As of its 1.0 release,
I believe it has incorporated vowpal wabbit in some form or another to
do online learning, but might have other online learning algos baked
in. It has its own flavor of an R interface (r_static or r_modular),
which might work for you if you can get it to compile.
