The new version includes a huge number of major improvements. Some of them are listed below, the complete list of changes can be found at:

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=341383

YALE has more than 200 operators for data mining and machine learning and allows the design of complex process chains/trees. The well known machine learning library Weka is also fully integrated.

YALE is a freely available open source software under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Since YALE is entirely written in Java, it runs on any major platform/operating system. You are welcome to use it!

New operators include:

• different feature filters
• multiple label handling
• data generators
• new performance criteria
• several discretization schemes
• transformation into value series
• several parameter optimization operators
• ARFFWriter
• JViToPlotter (additional to build in plotters)

• New Weka version 3.4.5 integrated
• New LibSVM version 2.8 integrated
• Improved data management and statistics. Yale can handle larger data sets now
• Undo and Redo function
