RapidMiner (formerly YALE) is a freely available open-source environment for machine learning, data mining, and knowledge discovery. Experiments and applications can be made up of a large number of arbitrarily nestable operators and their setup is described by XML files which can easily created with a graphical user interface. Applications of YALE cover both research and real-world data mining tasks.
The set of operators in YALE includes:
YALE provides an easy to use extension mechanism that makes it possible to integrate new operators and adapt YALE to your personal requirements. Since YALE is entirely written in Java, it runs on any major platform/operating system. A command line version allows invoking of Yale from your programs without using the GUI.
