Question 1: Machine Learning In this question you are asked to explore the WEKA machine learning toolkit, a copy of which is included in the supplementary material which can be downloaded from the VLE. Download the datasets-UCI.jar data set from the WEKA website, and select three problems from the data set and three classification methods from those available in WEKA. Run each method on each problem (i.e., run nine different combinations of method and problem), and obtain data describing the method’s performance on each problem. You may wish to vary each method’s parameters to improve its performance. Make use of all available resources (including the Internet, and the WEKA documentation) as necessary to help you understand the various options and parameters in WEKA. Submit a written document describing the data sets, listing the methods used, and describing their performance on each data set. Your mark will depend significantly on how well your results are explained and presented - be clear and concise. [40]
