Waikato Environment forWaikato Environment for Knowledge AnalysisKnowledge Analysis A collection of open source ML algorithms pre-processing classifiers clustering association rule Its a data mining/machine learning tool developed byIts a data mining/machine learning tool developed by Department of Computer Science, University of Waikato, New Zealand. Weka is also a bird found only on the islands of New Zealand. Java based Routines are implemented as classes and logically arranged in packages Comes with an extensive GUI interface 3.

WEKA:: Explorer: building classifiersWEKA:: 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, support vector machines, multi-layer perceptrons, logistic regression, Bayes nets, Meta-classifiers include: Bagging, boosting, stacking, error-correcting output codes, locally weighted learning, 15. Explorer: clustering dataExplorer: clustering data WEKA contains clusterers for finding groups of similar instances in a dataset Implemented schemes are: k-Means, EM, Cobweb, X-means, FarthestFirst 9/8/2012 16 k-Means, EM, Cobweb, X-means, FarthestFirst Clusters can be visualized and compared to true clusters 16. Explorer: finding associationsExplorer: finding associations WEKA contains an implementation of the Apriori algorithm for learning association rules Works only with discrete data Can identify statistical dependencies between 9/8/2012 17 Can identify statistical dependencies between groups of attributes: milk, butter bread, eggs (with confidence 0.9 and support 2000) Apriori can compute all rules that have a given minimum support and exceed a given confidence 17. Explorer: attribute selectionExplorer: attribute selection Panel that can be used to investigate which (subsets of) attributes are the most predictive ones Attribute selection methods contain two parts: 9/8/2012 18 A search method: best-first, forward selection, random, exhaustive, genetic algorithm, ranking An evaluation method: correlation-based, wrapper, information gain, chi-squared, Very flexible:WEKA allows (almost) arbitrary combinations of these two 18. Explorer: data visualizationExplorer: data visualization Visualization very useful in practice: e.g. helps to determine difficulty of the learning problem WEKA can visualize single attributes (1-d) and pairs of attributes (2-d) To do: rotating 3-d visualizations (Xgobi-style) 9/8/2012 19 To do: rotating 3-d visualizations (Xgobi-style) Color-coded class values Jitter option to deal with nominal attributes (and to detect hidden data points) Zoom-in function 19.
