Weka

Weka is open-source machine-learning software for building and evaluating models, with support for forecasting and time-series modeling. It is available free under the GNU General Public License, with Weka 3.8 as the stable release and 3.9 as the development version. The stable branch receives fixes and feature updates intended to preserve compatibility; development builds may introduce breaking changes. Weka provides a Java API, Javadoc for its API and command-line parameters, and can also be used through Jupyter notebooks. Official releases require Java 8 or later. Downloads are listed for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, with Intel and ARM options. Both branches include a package manager for community extensions, though installing packages requires internet access. The software includes built-in help and a comprehensive manual, with additional assistance through documentation, mailing list archives, forums, and a mailing list. Distributed derivative works must use the GPL; commercial projects needing Weka code in a non-GPL program may be able to obtain a suitable license. Models serialized in version 3.7 are incompatible with 3.8, and the migrator has an exception for RandomForest.
