YALE ("Yet Another Learning Environment") is an environment for machine learning experiments and data mining. Experiments can be made up of a large number of arbitrarily nestable operators and their setup is described by XML files which can easily be created with a graphical user interface. Applications of YALE cover both research and real-world data mining tasks. As a broad subfield of artificial intelligence, Machine learning is concerned with the development of algorithms and techniques that allow computers to learn. At a general level, there are two types of learning: inductive, and deductive. ...
Data mining (DM), also called Knowledge-Discovery in Databases (KDD) or Knowledge-Discovery and Data Mining, is the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns such as association rules. ...

YALE provides more than 350 operators for all main machine learning procedures including input and output, data preprocessing and visualization. It is written in Java and therefore able to work in all major operating systems. It also integrates all learning schemes and attribute evaluators of the Weka learning environment. Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. ...
Weka is a suite of machine learning software written in Java at the University of Waikato which implements several machine learning algorithms from various learning paradigms. ...
