"I have encountered various learning environments,
but none so broad, powerful, and easy-to-use as RapidMiner / YALE.
Many of us who are not skilled in programming are thankful."
RapidMiner (formerly YALE) supports several Plugins which can be installed
in addition to the RapidMiner core operators.
In order to use these plugins, it is sufficient to download the .jar
Java archive and put it into the RAPIDMINER_HOME/lib/plugins directory.
Only one version of each plugin may be contained in this directory.
Windows users can alternatively download and install the Windows executable (.exe).
The Text plugin (formerly Word Vector Tool plugin) can be used to create word vectors from input texts in different formats (plain text, URLs...)
The Value Series plugin provides methods for (automatic) feature extraction from series data.
Including loaders for audio files.
The Data Stream plugin provides operators for data stream mining and for
learning drifting concepts.
The Conditional Random Field plugin provides some basic operators for named entity
recognition.
