When you are getting started in Weka, you may feel overwhelmed. There are so many datasets, so many filters and so many algorithms to choose from. There is too much choice. There are too many things you could be doing. Structured process is key. I have talked about process and the need for tasks like […]

Make Better Predictions with Boosting, Bagging and Blending Ensembles in Weka
Weka is the perfect platform for studying machine learning. It provides a graphical user interface for exploring and experimenting with machine learning algorithms on datasets, without you having to worry about the mathematics or the programming. In a previous post we looked at how to design and run an experiment running 3 algorithms on a […]

Quick and Dirty Data Analysis for your Machine Learning Problem
A part of having a good understanding of the machine learning problem that you’re working on, you need to know the data intimately. I personally find this step onerous sometimes and just want to get on with defining my test harness, but I know it always flushes out interested ideas and assumptions to test. As […]
Design and Run your First Experiment in Weka
Weka is the perfect platform for learning machine learning. It provides a graphical user interface for exploring and experimenting with machine learning algorithms on datasets, without you having to worry about the mathematics or the programming. A powerful feature of Weka is the Weka Experimenter interface. Unlike the Weka Explorer that is for filtering data […]
How to Run Your First Classifier in Weka
Weka makes learning applied machine learning easy, efficient, and fun. It is a GUI tool that allows you to load datasets, run algorithms and design and run experiments with results statistically robust enough to publish. I recommend Weka to beginners in machine learning because it lets them focus on learning the process of applied machine learning rather […]
What is the Weka Machine Learning Workbench
Machine learning is an iterative process rather than a linear process that requires each step to be revisited as more is learned about the problem under investigation. This iterative process can require using many different tools, programs and scripts for each process. A machine learning workbench is a platform or environment that supports and facilitates […]
