Top 10 Data Mining Algorithms, Explained

A classifier is a tool in data mining that takes a bunch of data representing things we want to classify and attempts to predict which class the new data belongs to. Orange, an open-source data visualization and analysis tool for data mining, implements C4.5 in their decision tree classifier. Support vector machine (SVM) learns a hyperplane to classify data into 2 classes. The balls represent data points, and the red and blue color represent 2 classes.
