SCaVis
This interactive framework is useful in data analysis, scientific computation and data visualization developed for engineers, students and scientists. The tool is multiplatform because it is developed in Java making it run on any OS where Java’s virtual machine is installed.
KNIME
Konstanz Information Miner (KNIME) being an open source tool functions like data analytics, integration and reporting platform. The tool integrates several components in machine learning as well as data mining via its modular concept of data pipelining. The GUI enables combination of nodes in data processing (ETL: Extraction, Transformation, Loading) in modeling, visualization and analysis of data.
OpenNN
Open Neural Networks Library (OpenNN) is an application library developed in C++ to implement neural networks. This is an open source library that is hosted in SourceForge under authorization of GNU Lesser General Public License. This application was initially referred to as Flood.
Orange
This component-based, machine learning and data mining software suite features visual programming front end useful in explorative visualization and data analysis, Python bindings and scripting libraries. Orange incorporates various components useful in data preprocessing, feature filtering and scoring, model evaluation, exploration and modeling techniques.
RapidMiner
This software platform is created by a company with same name and offers integrated environment useful in machine learning, text mining, data mining, business analytics and predictive analytics. RapidMiner is useful in industrial and business applications and research, training, education, application development and rapid prototyping. The tool supports various steps useful in data mining including result optimization, visualization and validation.
Scriptella
This open source Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) and script executing tool is developed in Java. Scriptella mainly focuses on simplicity. The tool never requires the consumer to study complex languages that rely on XML to be able to exploit it. Moreover, it allows exploitation of SQL and other scripting languages appropriate to data source in performing the required transformation.
