A Simple Introduction: To Weka

WEKA is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks developed by the University of Waikato. It contains tools for data pre-processing, classification, clustering, association rule mining, and attribute selection. The WEKA Explorer provides an interface to apply these techniques and visualize data. Common tasks involve importing data, preprocessing it using filters, then applying classifiers like decision trees to build predictive models or using clustering to group similar data instances.

Pre-Processing the data

Data can be imported from a file in various


formats.
ARFF-Attribute-Relation File Format
CSV - Comma Separated Values

Data can be read from a URL or from a SQL


database.

Filters are used for pre-processing


WEKA only deals with flat files

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 perceptron,
logistic regression, Bayes nets,

Clustering data

Finding groups of similar instances in a


dataset

Implemented schemes in WEKA are:


k-Means, EM, Cobweb, X-means,
FarthestFirst
Finding Associations
WEKA contains an implementation of the Apriori
algorithm for learning association rules

Works only with discrete data

Can identify statistical dependencies between


groups of attributes:

Attribute Selection
Used to determine the most predictive attributes

Consists of two parts

1.) A search method : best-first, forward selection,


random, exhaustive, genetic algorithm and etc.

2.)An evaluation method : correlation-based,


wrapper, information gain an etc.
