Weka 3: Data Mining Software in Java Weka is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks. The algorithms can either be applied directly to a dataset or called from your own Java code. Weka contains tools for data pre-processing, classification, regression, clustering, association rules, and visualization. It is also well-suited for developing new machine learning schemes. Weka is open source software issued under the GNU General Public License.

Older versions of WekaClick here to download a jar archive containing Weka 3.0, the command-line-based version of Weka described in Chapter 8 of the data mining book by Ian H. Witten and Eibe Frank.(weka-3-0-6.jar, 2,061,642 bytes). All old versions of Weka are available from the Sourceforge website.
DocumentationWeka 3.4 has extensive help facilities built in. However, there is also:
Citing WekaIf you want to refer to Weka in a publication, please cite the data mining book. The full citation is "Data Mining: Practical machine learning tools with Java implementations," by Ian H.

Weka-related Projects
DevelopmentWe are following the Linux model of releases, where an even second digit of a release number indicates a "stable" release and an odd second digit indicates a "development" release (e.g. 3.0.x is a stable release, and 3.1.x is a developmental release). If you are using a developmental release, you might get to play with extra funky features, but it is entirely possible that these features come/go/transmogrify from one release to the next. If you require stability (e.g. if you are using Weka for teaching), use a stable release.
