    This document provides an introduction and overview of the Weka and Rapid Miner machine learning software. Weka is an open source collection of machine learning algorithms for data pre-processing, classification, clustering, and association rule mining. It was created at the University of Waikato and uses the ARFF data format. Rapid Miner is a similar open source tool that implements data mining and analytics operators in a workflow format to build knowledge discovery processes. Both tools provide GUI and programmatic interfaces for applying machine learning.

    Weka & Rapid Miner Tutorial

    By Chibuike Muoh

    WEKA:: Introduction

    A collection of open source ML algorithms


    pre-processing classifiers clustering association rule

    Created by researchers at the University of Waikato in New Zealand Java based

    WEKA:: Installation

    Download software from http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/

    If you are interested in modifying/extending weka there is a developer version that includes the source code
    setenv WEKAHOME /usr/local/weka/weka-3-0-2 setenv CLASSPATH $WEKAHOME/weka.jar:$CLASSPATH

    Set the weka environment variable for java

    Download some ML data from http://mlearn.ics.uci.edu/MLRepository.html

    WEKA:: Introduction .contd


    Routines are implemented as classes and logically arranged in packages Comes with an extensive GUI interface

    Weka routines can be used stand alone via the command line

    Eg. java weka.classifiers.j48.J48 -t $WEKAHOME/data/iris.arff

    WEKA:: Interface

    WEKA:: Data format


    Uses flat text files to describe the data Can work with a wide variety of data files including its own .arff format and C4.5 file formats Data can be imported from a file in various formats:

    ARFF, CSV, C4.5, binary

    Data can also be read from a URL or from an SQL database (using JDBC)

    WEKA:: ARRF file format


    @relation heart-disease-simplified @attribute @attribute @attribute @attribute @attribute @attribute age numeric sex { female, male} chest_pain_type { typ_angina, asympt, non_anginal, atyp_angina} cholesterol numeric exercise_induced_angina { no, yes} class { present, not_present}

    @data 63,male,typ_angina,233,no,not_present 67,male,asympt,286,yes,present 67,male,asympt,229,yes,present 38,female,non_anginal,?,no,not_present

    ...

    A more thorough description is available here http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/weka/arff.html

    WEKA:: Explorer: Preprocessing


    Pre-processing tools in WEKA are called filters WEKA contains filters for:

    Discretization, normalization, resampling, attribute selection, transforming, combining attributes, etc

    WEKA:: Explorer: building classifiers


    Classifiers in WEKA are models for predicting nominal or numeric quantities Implemented learning schemes include:

    Decision trees and lists, instance-based classifiers, support vector machines, multi-layer perceptrons, logistic regression, Bayes nets, Bagging, boosting, stacking, error-correcting output codes, locally weighted learning,

    Meta-classifiers include:

    WEKA:: Explorer: Clustering

    Example showing simple K-means on the Iris dataset

    RapidMiner:: Introduction

    A very comprehensive open-source software implementing tools for

    intelligent data analysis, data mining, knowledge discovery, machine learning, predictive analytics, forecasting, and analytics in business intelligence (BI).

    Is implemented in Java and available under GPL among other licenses Available from http://rapid-i.com

    RapidMiner:: Intro. Contd.


    Is similar in spirit to Wekas Knowledge flow Data mining processes/routines are views as sequential operators

    Knowledge discovery process are modeled as operator chains/trees

    Operators define their expected inputs and delivered outputs as well as their parameters

    Has over 400 data mining operators

    RapidMiner:: Intro. Contd.


    Uses XML for describing operator trees in the KD process Alternatively can be started through the command line and passed the XML process file
