Abstract
We present rminer, our open source library for the R tool that facilitates the use of data mining (DM) algorithms, such as neural Networks (NNs) and support vector machines (SVMs), in classification and regression tasks. Tutorial examples with real-world problems (i.e. satellite image analysis and prediction of car prices) were used to demonstrate the rminer capabilities and NN/SVM advantages. Additional experiments were also held to test the rminer predictive capabilities, revealing competitive performances.

A data mining approach to predict human wine taste preferences that is based on easily available analytical tests at the certification step is proposed, which is useful to support the oenologist wine tasting evaluations and improve wine production.
Machine LearningTree Induction for Probability-Based Ranking

It is concluded that PETs, with these simple modifications, should be considered when rankings based on class-membership probability are required, and is shown that using a simple, common smoothing method—the Laplace correction—uniformly improves probability-based rankings.
