Explorer: attribute selection
• Panel that can be used to investigate which
(subsets of) attributes are the most predictive ones
• Attribute selection methods contain two parts:
– A search method: best-first, forward selection, random,
exhaustive, genetic algorithm, ranking
– An evaluation method: correlation-based, wrapper,
information gain, chi-squared, …
• Very flexible: WEKA allows (almost) arbitrary
combinations of these two

Explorer: Data Visualization
• Visualization very useful in practice: e.g. helps to
determine difficulty of the learning problem
• WEKA can visualize single attributes (1-d) and pairs of
attributes (2-d)
– To do: rotating 3-d visualizations (Xgobi-style)
• Color-coded class values
• “Jitter” option to deal with nominal attributes (and to
detect “hidden” data points)
• “Zoom-in” function

After the learning operator "J48", a
breakpoint indicates that the intermediate
results can be inspected. Due to the
modular concept of YALE, it is always
possible to inspect and save
intermediate results, e.g. the results for
each individual run in a cross validation

Data can be imported from several file
formats with the attribute editor. Other
file formats like Arff, C45, csv, and
dBase can be loaded with specialized
operators.
Attribute Editor can be used to create
meta data descriptions from almost
arbitrary file formats. These meta data
descriptions can then be used for an input
operator which actually loads the data.

Data Visualization
Each time a data set is
presented in the results tab (e.g.
after loading it), several views
appear: a meta data view
describing all attributes, a data
view showing the actual data
and a plot view providing a
large set of (high-dimensional)
plotters for the data set at hand.

The basic scatter plotter: Two
of the attribute are used as
axes, the class label attribute is
used for colorization. The
legend at the top maps the
colors used to the classes or, in
case of a real-valued color plot
column, to the corresponding
real values.

2D scatter plots can be put
together to a scatter plot matrix
where for all pairs of dimensions a
usual scatter plot is drawn. This
plotter is only available for less
then 10 dimensions. For higher
number of dimensions one of the
other high-dimensional data plotter
presented below should be used.

A 3D scatter plot exists similar to
the colorized 2D scatter plot
discussed above. The viewport can
be rotated and zoomed to fit your
needs. The built-in 2D and 3D
plotters are a quick and easy way
to view your numerical and
nominal results, even as online
plot at experiment runtime!

SOM (Self-Organizing Map)
plotter which uses a Kohonen net
for dimensionality reduction.
Plotting of the U-, the P-, and the
U*-Matrix are supported with
different color schemes. The data
points can be colorized by one of
the data columns, e.g. with the
prediction label.

The parallel plotter prints
the axes of all dimensions
parallel to each other. This
is the natural visualization
technique for series data but
can also be useful for other
types of data. The main
advantage of parallel plots
is that a very high number
of dimensions can be
visualized with this
technique. The dimensions
are colorized with the
feature weights. The more
yellow a dimension is
marked, the more important
this column is.

quartile plots (also
known as box
plots) are often
used for experiment
results like
performance values
but it is possible to
summarize the
statistical properties
of data columns in
general with this
type of plot.

RadViz is another highdimensional data plotter
where the data columns are
placed as radial dimension
anchors. Each data point is
connected to each anchor
with a spring corresponding
to the feature values. This
will lead to a fixed position in
the two-dimensional plane.
Again, weights are used to
mark the more important
columns.

A survey plot is a sort of
vertical histogram matrix also
suitable for a large number of
dimensions. Each line
corresponds to one data point
and can be colorized by one
of the columns. The length of
each section corresponds to
the value of the data point for
that dimension. For up to
three dimensions the order of
the histograms can be
selected.

Andrews curves are another
way of visualizing highdimensional data. Each data
point is projected onto a set
of orthogonal trigonometric
functions and displayed as a
curve. It is known that
Andrews curves preserve
distances, so they have many
uses for data analysis and
exploration. Often outliers
and hidden patterns can be
well detected in these plots.

Visualization of Models and other Results
The result of a learning step
is called model. Some models
provide a graphical
representation of the
learned hypothesis. This
screenshot presents a learned
decision tree for the widely
known "labor negotiations"
data set from the UCI
repository. Results like
learned models, performance
values, data sets or selected
attributes are displayed when
the experiment is completed
or a breakpoint is reached

In cases where no graphical
representation of a learned
model is available, at least a
textual description of the
learned model is presented. In
this screenshot you see a
Stacking model consisting of
a rule model (the upper half)
and a neural network (starts
at the lower half). Both base
models are described by
simple and understandable
texts.

This is a density plot (similar
to a contour plot) of the
decision function of a
Support Vector Machine
(SVM). Almost all SVM
implementations in YALE
provide a table and a plot
view of the learned model. In
this screenshot, red points
refer to support vectors, blue
points to normal training
examples. Bluish regions will
be predicted negative, reddish
regions will be predicted
positive.

only the support vectors are
shown colorized by the
preditcted function value for
the corresponding data point.
Examples on the red side will
be predicted positive;
examples on the blue side
will be predicted negative.
There is a perfectly linear
separation in two of the
dimensions and it seems to be
that the parameters were not
chosen optimal since the
number of support vectors is
rather high.

alpha values (Lagrange
multipliers) of the SVM are
plotted against the function
values and colorized with the
true label. We applied a slight
jittering to make more points
visible. This model seems to
be "well-learned", since only
few points have a alpha value
not equal to zero and these
are the points with function
values approximately 0.
