[edit] Pentaho "acquires" Weka
Pentaho did not "acquire" Weka. Pentaho just acquired an exclusive license for Weka for the field of business intelligence. Weka was developped by and still belongs to University of Waikato, New Zealand, which makes licenses available to other parties through its subsidary WaikatoLink.
An encyclopedia should be more precise and not just repeat and copy the terms of the press texts of a company like Pentaho, even if many news articles are not that precise. I suggest to re-phrase and correct the corresponding parts of the Weka article.
[edit] Relevance of this article
Article should not be deleted. It needs expansion. Weka is part of machine learning curriculum in many universities. It is also among the few openly available toolkits to test machine learning algorithms (bayes, j48, ZeroR, OneR) on sample data sets, create models and apply the learnt models on new test sets of data. Applications for this include economics, bio informatics and other fields with large amounts of data.
A simple google will tell you popular this is: google for: weka applications filetype:pdf
If you want your data sets to run this on, they are also available.
I've extended the stub, including references, etc. --Fracpete 05:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spam
This is an obvious spam article that reads like an advert for a particular software product. DigitalEnthusiast 20:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Definitely not spam; MAYBE tag it with {{advert}}. Veinor (ヴエノル(talk)) 21:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't see why you consider this spam. Weka is a well-known and widely-used system. The article can no doubt be improved, but the system itself is undoubtedly notable. --Macrakis 21:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Definitely not spam; WEKA is one of the most widely used open-source data mining software tools. 8 June 2007.
