International Win for Clever Dataminer; Weka data-mining software
University of Waikato (08/17/09)
The first place finisher in the 2009 Student Data Mining Contest, run by the University of California, San Diego, used the Weka data-mining software to predict anomalies in e-commerce transaction data. Quan Sun, a University of Waikato computer science student, says it took about a month to find the answer. The contest drew more than 300 entries from students in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australasia. "I couldn't have done it without Weka," Sun says of the open source software that was developed at Waikato. "Weka is like the Microsoft Word of data-mining, and at least half of the competitors used it in their entries." ACM's Special Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining gave the Weka software its Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Service Award in 2005. Weka has more than 1.5 million users worldwide.
