Introduction to Machine Learning Using WEKA

Last October 28, 2021 Dr. Rhowel M. Dellosa gave us a presentation about an
introduction to machine learning using WEKA. Even we are using different kind of
programming language and program, WEKA is new to us that’s why we take it seriously. Before
the introduction of WEKA, he introduced first the things to know about the data since we will
use data distribution in the said app. Things were discussed like the correlation of data and its
different types, different plots according to correlation, how to interpret the correlation, etc. He
also taught us the traditional programming problem which is solved by creating an algorithm. In
other words, traditional data comes in data and program to computer and output while in
machine learning, there is data and output to computer to program. Different types of machine
learning algorithms is also introduced which are the regression, classification, and measuring the
accuracy of the data. After multiple discussion, he now introduced the WEKA to us which is
quite fun since he let us participate and interact to us. Introduction and Weka functions are
tackled first in order for us to visualize what the app can do. For the hands-on part, data
gathering, and data formatting was done first and the given code is not pre-used which allows to
look for the errors and have the conversation. At the end of the hands on, almost all of us got the
same result. The prediction result was already displayed in the app together with the table for
visualization. Thus, I can say that this is much easier than what we are doing in jupyter notebook
since it offers a large variety of classification that can be use in our thesis.
