TL;DR
Gestalt allows developers to implement a classification pipeline, analyze data as it moves through that pipeline, and easily transition between implementation and analysis, and significantly improves the ability of developers to find and fix bugs in machine learning systems.
Abstract
We present Gestalt, a development environment designed to support the process of applying machine learning. While traditional programming environments focus on source code, we explicitly support both code and data. Gestalt allows developers to implement a classification pipeline, analyze data as it moves through that pipeline, and easily transition between implementation and analysis. An experiment shows this significantly improves the ability of developers to find and fix bugs in machine learning systems. Our discussion of Gestalt and our experimental observations provide new insight into general-purpose support for the machine learning process.

803 Citations2007Jacob O. Wobbrock, Andrew D. Wilson +1 more
This work presents a "$1 recognizer" that is easy, cheap, and usable almost anywhere in about 100 lines of code, and discusses the effect that the number of templates or training examples has on recognition, the score falloff along recognizers' N-best lists, and results for individual gestures.

An overview of the entire data mining process, from data collection through to the interpretation of results, concludes that, so long as one carefully selects an appropriate algorithm, and is guided by the astronomical problem at hand, data mining can be very much the powerful tool, and not the questionable black box.
