This paper introduces a software tool named KEEL which is a software tool to assess evolutionary algorithms for Data Mining problems of various kinds including as regression, classification, unsupervised learning, etc. It includes evolutionary learning algorithms based on different approaches: Pittsburgh, Michigan and IRL, as well as the integration of evolutionary learning techniques with different pre-processing techniques, allowing it to perform a complete analysis of any learning model in comparison to existing software tools. Moreover, KEEL has been designed with a double goal: research and educational.
Abstract-This paper proposes a novel Adaboost algorithm to learn fuzzy-rule-based classifiers. Connections between iterative learning and boosting are analyzed in terms of their respective structures and the manner these algorithms address the cooperation-competition problem. The results are used to explain some properties of the former method. The evolutionary boosting scheme is applied to approximate and descriptive fuzzy-rule bases. The advantages of boosting fuzzy rules are assessed by performance comparisons between the proposed method and other classification schemes applied on a set of benchmark classification tasks.
This paper introduces the 3 rd major release of the KEEL Software. KEEL is an open source Java framework (GPLv3 license) that provides a number of modules to perform a wide variety of data mining tasks. It includes tools to perform data management, design of multiple kind of experiments, statistical analyses, etc. This framework also contains KEEL-dataset, a data repository for multiple learning tasks featuring data partitions and algorithms' results over these problems. In this work, we describe the most recent components added to KEEL 3.0, including new modules for semi-supervised learning, multi-instance learning, imbalanced classification and subgroup discovery. In addition, a new interface in R has been incorporated to execute algorithms included in KEEL. These new features greatly improve the versatility of KEEL to deal with more modern data mining problems.
