New RapidMiner Tutorials Coming

RapidMinerYes you read that right, I’m working on a new set of RapidMiner tutorial posts (I’m bagging the videos for now). I hope to share with my readers two new tutorials over the coming weeks/months and I expect to post the first installment this week.

The first tutorial will be about using RapidMiner’s Evolutionary Weighting and Genetic Algorithms to build a Market Timing Model. This tutorial will follow the same methodology I used to build my S&P500 Market Timing Model. If you ever wondered how to build a timing model using RapidMiner then make sure to check back often for these free and valuable lessons.

After I’m done with that tutorial, I’ll delve into the world of Web and Text Mining. I’ll show you how to web mine blogs and websites for interesting bits of data. I’ll make sure that all new tutorials will have downloadable templates and data for you to play with.

On top of this, I’ll be over the next few months I’ll be updating my original YALE tutorials to be compatible with the new RapidMiner format. The formats are close but not close enough. I’m sure that many readers downloaded the YALE templates and then opened with the new RapidMiner software and found some “run time errors.”

    Hi Tom,

    I’m really looking forward to the Rapidminer Usergroup meetup. It’s always nice interacting with like-minded individuals, even more so if this interaction can occasionally be in person.

    Looking forward to the 21st,

    Jim

    Thanks John. These tutorials take up a lot of my time and compete with other things in my life so I ask that my readers be patient.

    Sara,
    Je ne sais pas si le Text Mining Rapidminer Guide de l’utilisateur est en français. Mai je vous suggère d’utiliser Google Translate comme un moyen de traduire l’anglais vers le français?
