Python wrapper for the Weka Machine Learning Workbench

Project description

The python-weka-wrapper package makes it easy to run Weka algorithms and filters from within Python. It offers access to Weka API using thin wrappers around JNI calls using the javabridge package.

Changelog

0.3.7 (2016-05-04)

  • upgraded Weka to 3.9.0

0.3.6 (2016-04-02)

  • Loader.load_file method now checks whether the dataset file really exists, otherwise a previously loaded file gets loaded again without an error message (seems to be a Weka issue)

  • replaced org.pentaho.packageManagement with weka.core.packageManagement as the package management code is now part of Weka rather than a third-party library

  • jvm.start() no longer tries to load packages and therefore suppresses error message if $HOME/wekafiles/packages should not yet exist

0.3.5 (2016-01-29)

  • added support for weka.core.BatchPredictor to class Classifier in module weka.classifiers

  • upgraded Weka to revision 12410 (post 3.7.13) to avoid performance bottleneck when using setOptions method
