The MOOC ended last week with Class 5. It will remain open until
the end of Sunday, 20 Oct (all time zones). Statements of Completion
will be emailed once the course closes. The course material will remain
available up indefinitely at:
under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC-BY 3.0) license. Use it however you like! We've also added the music, as MP3 files, to the course material.
We are planning to re-run Data Mining with Weka early next year (probably March). And your enthusiastic feedback has encouraged us to think about a more advanced version. But it does depend on support from Waikato University, and we are waiting until this course is over before commencing that conversation.
A survey
about the course is available at:
Please fill it in! The response
rate, and your feedback, as well as the course completion rate, will no
doubt influence our ability to run future courses.
We
have very much enjoyed giving this MOOC. And we have learned a lot in
the process! We are preparing a report on the experience and will post a
draft to WekaMOOC-announce, in case you're interested.
You can read more about Waikato's machine learning research group at:
Our publications are listed under the Publications tab.
In
the good old days, Weka was an externally funded research project. But
that ended long ago. Both Weka and this MOOC are supported entirely by
our Department and University. If you think these efforts are worthwhile
and would like to support them financially, that would be lovely!
Please do so here:
All donations are directed to research: no administrative charges are incurred.
Finally, how about coming to Waikato to study? Our Department's web site at
has links to our research groups, and to graduate student information (MSc and PhD).
Excuse the advertising :-). Hope you had fun with the MOOC. Don't forget the survey. See you next time!
cheers
