Latest tools for data mining and machine learning

Abstract

Nowadays, Data Mining is used everywhere for extracting information from the data and in turn, acquires knowledge for decision making. Data Mining analyzes patterns which are used to extract information and knowledge for making decisions. Many open source and licensed tools like Weka, RapidMiner, KNIME, and Orange are available for Data Mining and predictive analysis. This paper discusses about different tools available for Data Mining and Machine Learning, followed by the description, pros and cons of these tools. The article provides details of all the algorithms like classification, regression, characterization, discretization, clustering, visualization and feature selection for Data Mining and Machine Learning tools. It will help people for efficient decision making and suggests which tool is suitable according to their requirement.
